    finding a job in canberra?

    was MATH2406 hard? i got a mate who thought he would be a wiseass and cram in the last week before the exam. he got nailed in the course like there was no tomorrow (by nail i mean get something in the 30's as a result... that'll teach that asshole :haha: ) and i got another mate who (i believe)...

    Quick question about ANU

    also trying to keep on topic: - yes, ANU is Australia's (southern hemisphere's if you wanna be pedantic) top uni :) - yes, commerce and economics needs 75 to get into. finance needs 85 and actuary needs 95. but DON't be fooled by the uai cutoffs, it is by no means an indication of how easy the...

    Quick question about ANU

    it's okay so far for me (just finished 2nd year). if you put the work in you'll do well (cliche but it's true... like every course). my mate studied his ass off and got an 88 in macro 2 (which scaled up truckloads this year according to my lecturer). fail rates i don't know about... it's all...

    Quick Question for Those Familiar with Canberra

    you have two options. 1. dickson. it's about 7 minutes drive from ANU through northbourne. 2. westfield belconnen . about 10 minutes drive from ANU. i'd strongly suggest option 2 because you can catch a bus that goes past ANU every 5 minutes, and it's about a 15 minute trip. the dickson bus...

    Is it a good idea to transfer from UNSW to ANU?

    some courses you're competing against with honours students and phb students who are fighting to keep above 90 so they can keep their scholarships. other courses (especially in school of economics/statistics/finance) you are competing with masters students doing the same course as you.

    cost of settling into uni?

    i was a mean son of a bitch when selling my first year stat book to a first year kid. i told them it's a necessary resource and it's impossible to go through the course without it (i got a mid-D in that course without opening the book) :D

    Is it a good idea to transfer from UNSW to ANU?

    true this. it is certainly not impossible if you want a HD average (i've got a mate doing engineering who duxed his highschool with 99.90) and got all HD's throughout his first 3 semesters. but boy does he work hard for it (think 8 hours of study daily, keeping obsessively organised, you name it)

    cost of settling into uni?

    i don't recommend the 2-hour loan especially for first year text books. come exam time, a potential of 700 people (micro/macro 1) fighting for 3 or so books in the library... aint pretty. if you're doing maths i learnt that a text book is not a necessary tool to own yourself. if you're doing...

    cost of settling into uni?

    hi there, usually text books are the killer in terms of expenses, depending if you're a sucker or not. if you're a sucker you would be the first in line in the Coop bookshop to buy the text books (i remember when i did this it set me back $500). or, you can find a second hand text book which...

    Downloading for free, but living at ANU...

    nah it's cool. i don't have a laptop so i've never used it before. during the last week of semester, if you sat at the end of hancock on level 2, you could connect an unrestricted wireless network called 'ASI'. obviously my mates found this out so they were downloading shit (torrents) at...
