also ppl seem to hate the trimesters at UNSW, and as an added bonus to the general length of transport longer to USYD (ig ten minutes for most ppl considering you take the train there) you have to compete with sg and sb students on the metro
(what i've heard)

Yeah I really wanna go to unsw but my parents don’t really want me going cause they think it’s far when it literally isn’t and is a similar distance to usyd and uts
my parents were like this lmao. They only wanted me to go to macq or western because "the unis in the city are too far away" (which didnt make sense because the unis they wanted me to go to were even further), but the day i got my atar they literally went 180 and said only usyd

what do you wanna do?
I honestly don't mind engineering. I've really been talked up about engineering/medicine my whole life, and I really enjoyed Tech Mandatory, especially Wood and Metal. I think I'd make a good engineer, it's just that that's what I've always been pressured to do for the future

Also, I don't think they'd be too pissed if I do another course, as long as it has a good job market and has prestige in society if you get that. They do care about what Uni I go to though, Education has always been the first of my family's priority
Yeah my parents are like this as well.
I'm glad that you atleast find engineering fun, so you don't feel too pressured

Judging by what they said, they probably didn't want to pressure you too much. From just what you said, they're really good parents

Anyone else on the UNSW y10 Info Evening? I feel like some info is good, but they're repeating stuff a lot, whether its stuff from earlier in the presentation or things teachers/parents etc say to us

my internet was rlly bad so I was on hotspot that glitched a lot making me miss out on like 1/3 of the stuff they said. Do you remember what they talked about for if you're unsure about what subjects you want to pick/ what you want to do bc I missed out on that part
but yeah they repeated a lot of stuff and kinda basic information (from the stuff I actually listened to), though I suppose it's probably still good to address anyways

They said the usual. Pick subjects you can study for hours, subjects you think you can enjoy. They also said if you don't do a subject listed as assumed knowledge for a degree you want to do, bridging courses are available.

I feel like I'm in that period where I keep switching what I want to be if yk what I mean. It seems childish, and I realise that, but right now, I'm quite into Engineering, a few weeks ago it was Lawyer, in the holidays it was an Actuary. So honestly, I'm baffled right now regarding what I want to do.

I'm thinking:
Physics (2)
Maths E1 (3)
English E1 (3)
Legal Studies (2)
Geography (2) OR Modern History (2) (Geographys my go to though since it's always been my favourite subject, dk if it'll run though)

Hbu?
