Oh yeah, I forgot that some Universities artificially inflate their UAI cut-offs as a matter of "prestige". UNSW went down to 99.15, USYD remained at 99.6 (but you should see USYDs and UNSWs fee-paying cut-offs! Especially compare main and late round.)CrashOveride said:Merely?
With extra places made available in 2005, how come Usyd law is still at 99.6? Does anyone know how long it has been at this level?
They are fixing it here, regardless of some 'supply and demand'.
How do you mean?neo_o said:Though, I'll warn you in advance - Canberra is quite a bit different to Sydney (if you live in Sydney at the moment) and it's a pretty big change, though if your going to live in college for your first year, you'll be enjoying yourself regardless.
Actually the people are great, and are much friendlier than in Sydney (both off and on campus).Vahl3 said:How do you mean?
I know it's smaller and rural etc, but the people can't be that bad, surely?
Agreed.There's plenty to do in Canberra. You're obviously just a boring person.
Is there a filter on the internet connection to prevent you from accessing porn etc?neo_o said:- 7c/mg for internet in the colleges (though you get access to a free p2p network - that downloads at 3mg/sec)
Try saying that when you've been here for more than a decade.Ziff said:There's plenty to do in Canberra. You're obviously just a boring person.
No, not at one of the ANU run colleges anyway (Bruce, BG, Fenner). I wouldn't be surprised if it happened at one of the others though. *shrugs*.Vahl3 said:Is there a filter on the internet connection to prevent you from accessing porn etc?
I have a memory from somewhere that matrons(or whoever) can place restrictions on the people who do not behave in a 'morally responsible' manner.
BTW 7c/mb is excessive. I pay $50 for 20gb a month. 20gb at 7c/mb would cost $1400!
wen saysneo_o said:Sydney only manages to stay afloat because of its prestige - so if they ARE fixing UAI scores - I can't blame them . I read an SMH article recently, where I think it was the dean of Sydney's law school was saying how the aim of Usyd law was to keep tutes and seminars small (small meaning forty or so people) while at ANU we have tutes with around 20 people in each class.
ANU has one of the best law schools in the country, and depending on what you want to combine your law degree with, ANU also has the (or one of the) best science faculties in the country, and also apparently a rather good economics/commerce faculty.
Also, running on what my friends say, the lecturers at Sydney are pricks
