    Best University for Finance?

    I think you may find it difficult as generally the maths required in first year for you to go onto 2nd year math requires 3u. People with just 2u have done fine, but it will take some effort.

    Failed electives. What now? No chance for honours?

    There is always a way round if you do work hard in later units to prove yourself, and you show genuine aptitude to get at least a 2.1 in honours. I strongly suggest you work harder if you want to get anything out of your degree, as fails do not benefit anyone and only act as a discouragement...

    if i wanted to ride the mining boom..

    Cool, I once passed through Roxby when I went to Woomera - fun times. Ironically Rio, Xstrata and Ozminerals have not even contacted me to say whether ive made it through to the next round or not! BHP are pretty much done with recruitment, so the others will get the left overs from BHP...
