Lol I reckon.

I'll give you two for each.

Good: you don't have to study during holidays because there's nothing to study, and you can jig lectures.

Bad: I actually can't think of anything right now.

Somebody at CQU is paying me $100 for it.

OK, so I guess I don't get to complain about that one.

Likes:
- Being able to come and go as I please (no razor wire like school)
- Course material that I'm pretty awesome at
- The Medieval Re-enactment society

Dislikes:
- Lack of socialists attacking me with flyers, wish I went to a uni with more, umm, politically active, students.
- Hugely irrelevant course materials
- 9am starts when I have to catch the bus
- Noisy people who seem to resent "having" to go to lectures
- Courses with exams worth less than 75% (what's the point in having an exam then?)

Dislike:
- Student politics (but don't really care if I'm not interupted when I'm in the middle of something important)
- Difficulty of thermodynamics lab reports, with exams at least sometimes you can fudge but reports it just doesn't work
- Bad exam timetables (when I get unfavourable ones)
- People who don't stfu during lectures
- Needing to think in tutorials...would prefer to be given the answer haha
- Assignments which take too much time and thought to complete

Like:
- High grades (unfortunately they've been far and few between :\ )
- Attendance isn't compulsory in most of my classes, although I rarely miss classes
- Don't need to turn up on time

That's about it for now.

Some how I can't stop laughing at your reasons.
Asians would be in my dislike category. Don't get me wrong, it's just that I hate this generation of asians who were raised by greedy communists.
Hey why no black people? Are you talking about curries or africans?

Likes

- musical people everywhere
- same goal-oriented people
- feeling culturally rounded by exploring all aspects of all music everywhere
- sexy technology stuff, sound recording, pro-tools, GRM tools, DVD multimedia stuff
- celebrity-like teachers who have made a name for themselves and getting taught by them
- sexy uni architecture
- lack of uniform... (i know its trivial but uni feels so much more comfortable compared to school for this reason i feel)
- teacher student relationships are like friends rather than superior/inferior
- satirical con-non-christian group that puts flyers everywhere with witty remarks but does not actually exist


Dislikes

- breeds freaks and geeks of the muso world, mostly socially incapable etc
- shitty subjects such as aural perception (they play you something, you write what it is)
- lack of practice rooms
- shitty library times
- understaffed
- subjects that have no purpose whatsoever in music or in life but needed to finish degree
- $500 usyd fees that I seem to get no benefit from except a con christian group (no) and discounts on over priced food.
- attendance is compulsary, unlike other uni's
- con christian group
- kids who wear "I love Jesus" t-shirts, no kidding

^^Yep, EU is annoying as anything. At least I don't see the other Christian groups shoving "We Love Jesus!" in our faces. Geez.
