oh come on, Usyd had tatoos! Tatoos! you can't beat that. And our bags are pretty. i have some at home, they're very handy. Free lunch would be good, but for 15,000 people, its a bit hard i guess.

and those stupid socialists were standing right in front of the signs we put up so no one could find the old geology lecture theatre.

and then i got told i was rude for handing out evaluation forms, which really shat me because i was just standing there, i wasnt forcing them on anyone, i was offerring, and there was a prize, it wasn't like the socialist people. And that put me in a bad mood, and hahahahah! to the stupid twit who called me rude because you wont last a day at uni in the real world, especially during union elections. Haha! you lose!

But really, i'm quite friendly! And I had a lovely 1/2 hour chat to a girl about rural pharmacy (that was when the BOS group was waiting to say hi... sorry guys!) which was nice.

haha, and we snuck in and got high achievers breakfast too... it was yum!

Well, I thought Uni of Canberra was really good, as always. It seemed more relaxed than the Sydney ones(but still really useful).

I find it so funny that UNSW and USYD and an few other info days were on the esxact same day and time ...so really the train rides from here to there...from UNSW to Maquarie would take you enough time of day to atten zippo lectures.


I did go to the info days in yr 12, most of the time I found USYD people really cold, I got lost most of the time, it was too large and everyone seemed like a snob.


Macquarie on the other hand had a lot of people and staff, really friendly down to earth, wasnt lost at all, too many big signs. The lecturers were also very cool and they had lots of freebies!

No its so that people who have to travel from the country etc only have to make the journey once to see all the unis. Its actually planned that way, a cooperative effort between the universities to make life easier.

It is also useful for those people who work, who only have to take one day off to see all the unis, rather than a few days, especially when you only need a max of a few hours at each uni.

its only "hard" for people who aren't used to getting out of bed before midday, who don't work, and who live in Sydney suburbia. And it is quite possible to get to USyd, UNSW, UTS and Mac on the same day, even without a car, i pass 3 of them every day each way on my way to and from uni.

And even if thats too hard, there are 2 open days every year, so you could always do 2 uni's on each open day.
