    thoughts on these courses?

    What do you want to do with your life? Eng/med science is a maybe if you do biomedical engineering or something, I'm not really familiar with the area, but otherwise seems like a waste of time. Eng/science is good if you just want to explore some pure science before you hit the engineering...

    CIVL2810 Surveying - where in hell is the fieldwork?

    I missed the second survey lecture this morning and have now spent an hour walking around uni looking for a hint. I thought in the first one they said "the big tree on the engineering green" but nothing there.... And the course elearning site is still not up, no emails, and the lecturers don't...

    is anybody going to be joining SUAC?

    You have to join SUSF for $55 a year - this allows you to join the sport clubs (super-important example: sailing) and go to the gym casually. The website is really unclear about the casual prices unfortunately, and I don't know them.

    <18 Starting Uni?

    I started when I was 16 as well, so there's no way you can complain about a month! I guess if you want to go out to a lot of bars and stuff it could be annoying, but in that case you probably have fake ID already (I did, mostly). And at my uni - Sydney - the actual uni bars rarely, if ever...

    Easiest courses in USYD?

    phil 1012 introductory logic If you're a mathsy person, this will be the easiest thing ever. I did absolutely no work and got a 90. I think arts students don't enjoy it as much though.

    can i do my major in first year?

    You have to take 24cp usually. For an advanced degree, you have to take 48cp of Senior units, but only 24cp have to be in your major. Those 24 have to be at advanced level though.

    Results and Predictions (Semester 1 2008)

    Re: Results and Predictions (Sem 1 '08) lol i guess even though they're apparently mailing the results today, it doesn't mean they've put them all on the internet. pretty slack though, i mean what's the point of putting them up if you're going to get them in the mail before.
