Has anyone seen him around recently?

I'm going for a journalism event at Redfern on Thursday, but I need to pop out in the middle of the day for a test. Is there a taxi stand near Redfern Town Hall? If not, what's the fastest way to get from there to USYD (specifically, John Woolley Building)? Also, anyone else going to this...

In my English units so far this year, my exam marks always brought my final marks down from a potential high distinction to a distinction. Throughout each semester, I was consistently scoring high distinction (or just a few marks below that) in assessment tasks...right up until the exam, where...

(I posted this in the theatre thread below, but decided to make a new thread so I wouldn't hijack the main thread.) To any theatre buffs on BOS, I have a free ticket to another Sydney Theatre Company Youth event happening tomorrow night (7pm, Monday, 17 August): Once and for all we're gonna...

Are any other BOSers going to the Classic European Film Festival (http://www.arts.usyd.edu.au/departs/filmstudies/splash_news?id=85) this weekend? I just won a free pass to both days through my English lecturer--how exciting! The ticket for each day is $25, so it comes up to $50 in all for the...

I'm in my first year for BA (Media and Communications). For a time, I considered doing and IT degree because I love working with and around the Internet. Then, when I realised that the arts are my first love, I sort of abandoned that line of thought...until a friend suggested I could do an IT...

When you look up a book on the library website (Library, The University of Sydney), the entry has this button where you can "save record". However, even after clicking it, I don't see the record being saved to anywhere I can find on my library account. What am I missing? It'd be nice if I can...

My tutor says that the SOPHI office opens at 10am, though he seems rather unsure. Does anyone know?

I'm doing French Junior Adv 5 at the moment and I'm finding participation in the tutorials quite difficult. Every week, I tell myself that I'll find some point to contribute but mostly I'm quite intimidated because I'm not as fluent as I want to be. On the other hand, I'm finding participation...

CityRail's TravelPass includes transport on buses and trains. However, does that include private buses? My travel route is as follows: Home -> Parramatta Station: Hopkinsons Bus (private) Parramatta Station -> Central Station (train) Central Station -> Sydney Uni (bus) I'm a bit confused with...

This is the list of crosslisted units in the Faculty of Arts for 2009. However, many of them aren't listed in the handbook, such as ICLS2001, ICLS2002, etc. I was really looking forward to doing ICLS next year so that they would count towards my English major. But these units aren't listed and...

I've been checking out the uni email function and have just set up email forwarding to gmail and the reply-as email address. Now, I'm trying to set up the email alias but sending an email to the alias bounces. Is there a particular format that you have to use, such as f.surname@usyd.edu.au or...

I'm doing a unit of introductory German in Semester Two. I have also picked Junior French Advanced. While doing French in high school has equipped me with the skills to learn a new language, I wonder what it's really like at uni level. Of course, you have to put in a lot of work to do well, but...

The Access website says that if you renew or sign up for your Access card, you'll get a gift bag. Does this apply online only? I signed up at the university and didn't receive it. Not to be picky, but I did pay $99 so that I can get these benefits. I realise that it does say while stocks last...

USYD's enrolment days are next week and I'm wondering if someone could give a step-by-step run through off typical enrolment procedure? Also, is that when they take photos and things? (Just so I know to be prepared, haha.) Thanks!

I just received the good news that I got into USYD's BA (Media and Communications). Now, my UAI was 96.75 but together with my written application and portfolio, I have made it! For anyone interested, I am posting some things I learnt about the flexible entry (and also about the Broadway...

I know the UAC final changes to preferences for the main round are due on 7 January at 12 am. Now, maybe I'm overthinking it, but is that 12am tonight or tomorrow night (though that would technically make it 8 January...)
