No that sounds about right. You don't wanna overdress...lots of newbies do that. Funky t-shirts are rad...being a dude I just rock up in a band shirt and any pants or shorts I can find that are still clean! Haha. The care factor isn't as high as u all think.

I think pretty much all unis give out diaries. The UNSW one is usually pretty awesome. Macq one's quite good. I always use it, it's already got important dates noted for ya, like uni week, uni bar info, etc.

You can't do psych for your combined degree unless you are in Arts-Psych Law. It is recommended you do as many different units as you can. So you can do the rest of the ones you mentioned, along with anthropology, sociology, politics, languages, cultural studies, WHATEVER! But from second...

Hmm. I picked up this little book called 'The Heart of the Campus' -a history of the union at macq. Got it from the uni shop for $5. Macq was one hellava crazy place back in the day...it was dubbed to have the most radical bunch of students in only its second year of existence! It was good to...

Well the population wouldn't matter. NSW has a greater population and a greater number of uni spots. VIC would have less of both. That shouldn't affect the cut off marks. Having said that, Melbourne and Monash seem to take in a shitload of law students..

Hah, I spent like half of my Business Communcations Skills subject learning to write politically correctly...and the term 'Asian' is apparently unacceptable. If you say 'Asian' in England you are pretty much refering to Pakistanis, but sometimes also used to cover Indians and Bangladeshis. I...

Pretty much everyone's from NSW and so it doesn't really offer as much to Victorians. Hence they wouldn't be too motivated to post their comments on the cutoffs of commerce at usyd or the social life at macquarie. The "HSC" bit in the title needs to be changed if this place truly wants to go...

Haha, it's not a nice joke but the people bagging out dingo have probably never step foot onto the hallowed grounds (and that loong walkway) in Kensington. I don't go there, but I've been there a fair bit (for the Roundhouse and the library)...and it's true. It's like a Little China. Except...

Hah, to think the cutoff for Commerce at USYD was 91 in my year.

Not really sure... If you tell me what grade point a PC, P, Cr, D, HD is at usyd then I might have a fair idea. For MQ: F=0, PC=1, P=2, Cr=3, D & HD=4.

Yeah, and Ross (law dean) will never know of our hard PR work. I feel jipped!

Just give the the student euquiry service a ring..

I don't think you understand our GPA system. 2.0 IS a pass average. 2.5 is equivalent to 2 passes and 2 credits. It's low cos the uni is prides itself on flexibility or whatever.

Bah, they should just call it Commerce. My Business Admin degree at Macq is very unique (nothing like it in any uni in Sydney). So many frickin core units though. And because I am combining it with law, I get NO business electives! :(

I've failed before. And it was because of bluesky100's two reasons...both a) AND b). But there'll be no more subjects with any quantitative elements come semester 1...so it'll be hard to fail anything from here on in! It's almost impossible to fail a law subject!

Yeah, USYD law is really just based a lot on just prestige. I heard the quality of teaching is not as good as people think (especially compared to UNSW), and I've been to the St James campus (if you can call it one)...bit rundown. Apparently they're relocating the law school back to the...

As someone said earlier, Macquarie has a general O-Camp. There's also one for Law. Last year apparently the first year law students had TOO good a time. The place was trashed and some of the girls were getting it on with a different guys every night. Just what I heard...

Some people have attempted to sue their parents for wrongful birth..i.e. they should not have been born to their horrible existence. I'm thinking, there's a quick way to remedy that one..

I didn't do ECON111 so I can't comment, but with accounting...argh. How BORING can they make it? The words who "gives a f*ck" were constantly going through my head. It's from these lectures that I conclude that Asians have a higher pain tolerance!

GPA of 2.0 for Commerce, 2.5 for BBA.
