    Well below atar cut-off for UNSW Commerce

    I don't think internal transfer works out that way. I might be wrong but I heard UNSW is pretty strict on WAM cut off for the Internal transfer and given your WAM is far away from the cut off line the only option is probably improving you WAM then apply again. But again I don't see how...

    Finance and financial economics major instead of finance and economics major??

    There's a lot of econometric contents in financial economics major, if you don't like math probably don't do it.

    Calling all economics students

    First year is alright, the only course I found annoying was ECON1203, they marked so harsh on everything and at the end they have to scale everyone up otherwise half of people were failing the course. From second year you'll start to touch more on econometric and math stuff like ECON2206...

    Are there really as many Asians in UNSW as everyone says there is?

    I dunno why people keep saying too many asians in UNSW when majority speak good English and act like normal Aussie. USYD is where I really found lots of "asians" and they ask you for pen in mandarin as if every asian speaks it.

    Introductory language courses

    Yes this works. I was too honest with these questionnaire when I want to enroll in the Japanese course and eventually they putted me in the Professional level course. :uhoh I'm not Japanese but my Japanese language level is almost native so if I could start from the very beginning course I...

    Phys1160

    I did Phys1160 for my last semester last year and TBH even though it was a very easy course but the workload involved was actually quite significant. I remember you have to regularly post things on the forum to earn marks for entire semester and there were many essays to do. There were online...

    Writing someone elses name on an attendance sheet

    People do this all the time, you can't really stop them. This is why some lecturers now use the electronic way which they bring a small scanning machine and you need to scan your student ID every time you come to the lecture.

    Econ1101 vs econ 1203

    ECON1101 is way too easy and ECON1203 is wayyyy too hard. I still don't know how I managed to pass ECON1203, it was my biggest nightmare throughout my uni life.

    Bachelor of Economics

    Empirically those full classes will free up spots few days after uni starts. You might want to check the class status frequently, people drop classes all the time.

    Order of Subjects for Double Major

    The way I see it, it's fine you do FINS2624 before FINS1612 as these two courses aren't really correlated. But you probably wouldn't want to do those four courses written for Y2 sem2 in the same time. Fins2624 and Econ2206 are both quite challenging, and even though Econ2101 might not be that...

    Bachelor of Commerce / Bachelor of Economics

    yeah why not? dual com/eco is only one year longer than single com or b.eco but you get three majors, which is not bad If you think two majors are enough then this dual program isn't needed for you. You can do both Fins/Econometric in either B.com or B.Eco. Same majors and same courses, just...

    Econ1203 - plz im dying

    This course is always hard...I did it in 2012/sem 2 and it was horrible. I never failed a course in my uni study but ECON1203 was the closest one.

    How hard is ECON1203?

    I think G Foster is in charge of ECON1203 this semester. All I need to say to you is good luck mate, you are just about to go through series of harsh marking on every assessment in the course. ECON1203 itself is already quite challenging and Gigi will just make it worse for you guys. I...

    Actuarial studies vs com/laws vs commerce (liberal studies)

    First of all, don't go Usyd, you'll regret for doing it If you're pursuing for a career in hedge/investment bank then law/comm is probably best option among these three. I'm not really sure about how actuarial does in terms of entering IB industry but a law degree with good grade sounds most...

    UNSW-University of Tokyo Exchange

    Any university(excluding Kyoto uni) is low tier uni if you compare to University of Tokyo lol. But there are still many highly reputed uni in Japan. As for the university on the UNSW exchange partner list, I would recommend you to have a look at Keio, Waseda and Chuo uni. These three unis are...

    UNSW-University of Tokyo Exchange

    Actually Chuo is famous of its law department, it's one of the best law school you can find in Japan. If you insist doing a law exchange program Chuo is a good choice

    Are there any buses from town hall to unsw

    lol, I actually like the morning class, once you finished all the classes in the morning you get rest of the day off. Problem is my home is like 40mins away from uni and you get stuck in the traffic so 9am class is like getting up around 7am which is a pain.

    How easy is it to achieve an average 75 WAM?

    Getting 75 wam in first year uni is not easy but manageable. However it would be quite challenging if you want 75 wam for your degree. It's not hard getting 75 wam for just one course, especially year 1 courses. but the problem is to get 75 wam consistently throughout 3 years of study. It might...
