anything sensible as long as you get a HD average in. you can do engineering and if you do well at it, you can land a job in the quantitatve sectors of an IB.

i'd say it's probably a 4km walk from jollimont centre to the halls.

it depends really. i emailed enrolments@anu.edu.au from my UNIVERSITY EMAIL and they haven't responded. it was a dead-easy question too. emailing (person)@anu.edu.au isn't always possible because you don't necessarily know the handle (eg) science enrolment questions, unless you've had contact...

ISIS servers don't load balance. this means when ISIS is getting absolutely hammered and ANU's other servers (like WebCT or ANUMail) are free (i.e. not many people are using them at the moment), the strain on the ISIS server doesn't get shared among all of ANU's servers equally. this is why you...

yeah it's absolutely unnacceptable. 8 hours after the results are out and the server is still unresponsive. ANU can transport matter and mix oil with water but they can't fucking figure out when thousands of students log into a server in the same minute it causes problems

lolwtf aren't you on holidays?

not true at all... (maybe except for the cleaning part). surely people cook several meals at once (like boiling 1kg of pasta and freezing it, which makes 5 or so meals) or people skip a meal and take out or skip it entirely (weekend breakfasts etc).

i wish people would realise uai cutoffs mean jack shit. if you don't get, you get in by transferring in in the second semester (or second year). all you need to do is keep a 60% average and you're pretty much guaranteed to have your transfer accepted.

there's no way of telling.. aim for 85 and you'll do fine. think of it this way, chances are you'll be stuggling by your second year (unless you really change) if you got 75.

it's pointless because it's two essentially specialised degrees. it's like doing aeronautical engineering and arts. totally pointless other than for self interest.

generally there's no way to tell how how many people will be at a lecture/tute at any given time. usually i've observed: week 1 - max capacity/people have to sit on the stairwells because the lecture theaters have no spare seats (yes, micro/macro1 have about 600-700 students). generally in the...

a first year actuary kid is the same as any other kid doing a business-related degree, with the exception of one or two statistic units.

ehh... after 1.5 years at ANU (roughly) i learnt that it's not that cracked up to be. for undergraduate most universities would be the same, i.e. if i was in sydney i'd go to a local uni. $100 says my employer won't give a rat's ass what uni i attended (for G8 uni's anyway). for postgraduate...

it's not really that much harder considering you still do 4 units. the subjects you do will be a little more demanding but it's doable. why would you want to specialise in two areas like that though? are you going to become an actuary during the day, and lawyer at night?

drop a course before census date => you get your money back (i believe) and it won't show up in your academic transcript. drop a course after census date => you won't get your money back, and the course will appear in your academic transcript with a grade of "WN" (withdrawn with failure)...

the John Curtin School of Medical Research looks heaps nice.

drove my mum's 2006 audi a4 to uni today, and probably for the rest of this week (my shitbox is getting fixed). hopefully those roofed carparks provide some level of security... FUCK black cars are like ovens during the day... around 70C i read somewhere O_O

Re: How helpful is a laptop at university? bravo lima oscar whisky me, you sierra lima uniform tango actually don't, i prefer my penis to be wart-free

i hope your maths is near-perfect because later-statistic courses are serious mofos.

go to an IT lecture say to 5 people "hey i'll give you $5 to give me an image of office 2007". $20 says 2 people will say yes.
