    Would you trade your HECS debt for a volunteer Youth Corps?

    I actually do this already and I would LOVE if the extra 8 or so hours of work I do in my week would help to eradicate my HECS debt. However I don't think I'd take up volunteer work just to pay off HECS, it's probably a lot more practical to get a paying job and pay it off that way. (and like...

    Random question

    a^2 * b^3 = 1323 = 27 * 49 =3^3 * 7^2 by equating the two, a=7 and b=3 I got this by knowing I needed a cube and a square, so I guess I technically trial and error-ed it. Sometimes you can do this in math, you just need to know what to look for, and...

    Parents Don't let me Drive!

    Out of curiosity, do the premiums go up for the compulsary 3rd party property insurance? If so, do you have to get special insurance for under 25 drivers, to cover the legal minimum, or is it fine to just use your parents' for that if they also drive the car?

    Parents Don't let me Drive!

    Your parents aren't obliged to give you a car, or pay the high insurance premiums for under-25 drivers and it probably won't help the situation if you act like they owe you something. But it really sucks if they don't help you out. You might need to reach a compromise, like paying for part of...

    Dividing fraction - how do they teach?

    Holy shit, batman! You in love with the mathematics! Well, for most people, knowing the rule and how to apply it is all they will ever need to know. Not everyone is going to become a mathemetician, and therefore the most practical (and easy-to-remember) way of learning is "Invert and multiply"...

    Driver Knowledge Test

    I think they like you to book beforehand. I don't know how it is for the DKT but for the later tests you have to book in advance.

    I get wat HECS-help is..but what is with the contrib. of $500+ to get a 20% off

    If you only contributed $500, you wouldn't get 20% of the whole lot. I'm paying my whole fee up-front, so I'm not 100% sure, but basically how it works is: If your semester fees as $3000, by paying up front you will only need to pay $2400 if you make a contribution of $500 up-front...

    Offered unbonded CSP at both Monash and UNSW

    Thats ok, I changed my mind that you should go to monash anyway, like I told you. The UNSW vote was because I'm a selfish bitch and don't want you to go so far away. lol fixed. Made up your mind yet, anyway?

    Are lectures recorded?

    Some lecturers turn off the recording towards the end, then give the people who actually turned up tips for what to study for the exam. Just be warned.

    What is the best way to exfoliate your skin?

    You can get some great exfoliating scrubs from the body shop, they smell awesome! Just make sure you moisturise afterwards, so you don't go all red. For my face I use Nivea Visage, it's not bad. But if you go to any supermarket you're sure to find loads of different brands that all do the same...

    plenty of people do it. It's not likely you'll mix up the languages, if that's what or concern is. That tends not to happen. What are you planning on doing once you graduate?

    Ten-year-old Girls Can Marry: Cleric

    So in their culture marrying tends to be for different reasons than the reasons we might marry. I don't dispute that. But it comes to a point where children aren't allowed to be just children, they have to be wives and mommies as well. That doesn' seem quite right. But, comparatively, they...
