    Your first day at uni

    I'm just glad the only math I've ever needed was statistics. Screw this - well really, I'd be screwed if I had to do this :/

    Your first day at uni

    Lots of girls in biological sciences - noticed it at uts and have noticed it here as well. Also, PLENTY of girls do microbiology - I don't know why that is (maybe it's more to do with being a 'visual' sort of science and not so much theoretical? *shrugs*), but even in the work place it's a very...

    UNSW Food Guide

    how the hell did you manage to do that in 4 days? My travel fare alone is $30 and so far I've spent $20 on food :P I'm just bringing stuff from home next week, unless I really want some potato wedges or a curry one of the days.

    haha thanks for the rep dude :) yeah, I'm thinking a BSc is somewhat of a rarity around these parts? The username, just something from high school biology. Teacher said people used to call a platypus a giant demon duck of doom back in the day, and the name just resonates with me :P

    Who do I tell that I have a citizenship ceremony booked ???

    Student Central is right across from the library, and alongside the library lawn. It is hidden away a little bit, but there's heaps of signs directing to it :)

    Your first day at uni

    The handbook makes it sound much, much better. *shrugs* Also, highlight of my first day, realising that all my classes do not require me to have to use the basser steps to get to them, they're all in the biomedical/john clancy/clb/wurther buildings :D

    Your first day at uni

    The subject seems so suss :P I really shouldn't complain though, because it seems all I have to do to is do these role playing games, take an iq + personality test, post a photo and bio of myself - and I'm going to pass xD Still doesn't stop me from feeling dodgy taking this class though :P

    Who do I tell that I have a citizenship ceremony booked ???

    dude, seriously...speak to student central. Just always consider student central to be your first stop. If you ring and they can't help, they're going to transfer you through to the right people.

    How many pages worth of notes do you write each lecture?

    The only notes I ever take are on bits of the lecture which I didn't understand properly at the time, then I go home and read up on those. Or, just writing down worked examples. I usually just sit there, and highlight the lecture notes to emphasise what the lecturer considers to be important for...

    Your first day at uni

    First day was yesterday...was extremely shocked to find out that we won't be getting to do ANY lab work in Histology. No microscopes, no staining, no lab coats - just some room where we look at virtual slides - extremely disappointed :/ The subject content is ace though, I love histology, just...

    should i drop a class

    You have until March 4 to enrol into a course, and you have until census date to drop courses without having them put onto your HECS debt. I hope that makes sense :)

    What is the Talented Students Program?

    Oh wow, that is massive :O I don't think I could be ready after 2 years of uni. Kudos to those kids that get it done.

    What is the Talented Students Program?

    You'd just be a research assistant, helping current research projects of phd students, at least that is what I take from this. Not starting your own research. taken from http://www.science.unsw.edu.au/talented-students-program/

    First day of Uni

    Well, like others have said, pretty sure there are no labs or tutorials for this week, if the course outline for that subject is available it should give you a calendar with what's happening, topic by topic, lab by lab etc. Your first lab, it should be a safety induction, you may have to do an...

    Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread

    Logged into Moodle and it shows no courses for me, but I search SCIF1101 and it pops up, but then I click it and it tells me I cannot enrol myself into this course..when I already am. Double checked my enrolment, I'm enrolled in that course, wtf :P I'll talk to student central tomorrow about...

    Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread

    It's working now. Looks like I *still* do not have SCIF1101 up on blackboard, I thought for sure it'd be up tonight, so I haven't been panicked about it not showing up :/ I have SCIF 1101 on Tuesday, so I guess I'll just have to wait until then to see what's doing. Histology is up there but not...

    What clubs and societies are you joining?

    maybe I'll see you around sometime then :) I'll have to check out the animeunsw forum sometime and peek around and say hi in there too. quidditch seems pretty fun actually. Seems to have the perfect amount of physical activity combined with an appreciation society - so it's not all...
