    ENGG1000 for Comp Sci

    I made the mistake of doing ENGG1000 in 2nd sem, my group knew nothing and refused to offer any help and it was the biggest pain in the ass to do all the work, write the reports and then show up to the final testing with a POS that barely even functioned. Imo you should definitely avoid it and...

    Help, Network Security in Computer Engineering?

    Personally I don't find anything fun about it, but it's not too bad. What sucks about it is that you will have to courses that don't have anything to do with you major so that will seem like a boring waste of time but it's like that at every uni. Here's a warning though, if you choose Computer...

    Help, Network Security in Computer Engineering?

    I think you'll want to do Computer Science, not Computer Engineering (there's a few differences, also Comp Eng is 4 years while Comp Sci is a 3 year course). Check out these 2 links: http://www.cse.unsw.com/information/future-students/undergraduate/programs/computer-science/COMPA13978.html...

    How exactly does a summer semester work

    I was talking to a second year and he said (wasn't sure about this) that if you're required to do 24 UoC for semester 2, you can split it into 12 UoC for semester 2 and 12 UoC in a summer semester (Edit: I believe this is called "underloading"?). Is this how things work? Because if it is I may...

    Camps

    A vast majority of the people I've seen from 1917 are flamboyant fanboys who have the most retarded (and incorrect) views ("hurr durr loonix is butter then windoes!!!") and throw around random terminology just to sound more 'teknicool'. There was one guy who walked into our tut room (all guys)...

    Camps

    The only camp I'm eligible for is CSESoc, which seems like pissy shit from the description "There'll be trivia, dancing, activities outside (*gasp*)". Is there even going to be any booze or will it just be like highschool camp all over again where we have crappy curfew times and have to do...

    Urgent help!!

    If this is correct then you'll have to do an internal transfer (either mid year or after the whole year, and that will depend on your WAM).

    Transferring from UNSW

    This. Just going to point out the some of those Unis cost 4x (four times) more per year (not including accommodation etc, just purely university fees), and they're only a big deal in their own country.

    Mayor insists that NSB + NSG should become partially selective schools?

    As a student who went to a partially selective school, I'd have to say it's pretty shit (the non-selective side). Of course that's most probably because the locals came from bad suburbs, but regardless if you're going to have a school it should either be fully selective or completely non...

    UNSW LAW - ATAR below cutoff of 99.65 and still got in???

    That makes sense, hence why I used quotations on the financial part. Completely agree. UAC gives points out too easily. I repeat, learn to harden up. [Edit] 'Gender: Female'. Lol.

    UNSW LAW - ATAR below cutoff of 99.65 and still got in???

    I don't agree that things like 'Financial hardship' and such are valid reasons to get extra ATAR points, I mean what's the excuse? "Oh I suffered from financial hardship and so couldn't afford to get any external tutoring, this disadvantaged my performance!". By that logic I should get EAS...

    Free Electives and General Education

    Nah. They don't "care" but it is possible they might prefer someone who has minored in a degree that is relevant to the job than someone who has minored in something completely irrelevant. Although I doubt it's ever that big of a deal.

    Likes/Dislikes about UNSW

    Haven't even started but already got my jimmies rustled. Went to get my Student ID created, they asked to see my drivers license and immediately rejected me and said my name on the systems didn't include my middle name. So off I went to the student center to fill in the form and guess what...

    Making friends

    The general consensus of Comp Sci students should be normal, though I am hoping that the amount of flamboyant 'Redditors' walking around with their "awesome" Macbooks stays to a minimum. Those kind of people make me sick to the stomach.
