Hehehe actually once you hit 2nd year of your degree, your high UAIs won't count for anything. Nor will the typical "Baulkham Hills or Sydney Boys" do the trick. Rather it'll be like...what's your WAM.

Beware :) Uni is nothing like High School. But still! Give it your best shot 08'ers!

Bah, I remember Primary school teachers telling me that highschool was goina be a whole lot harder, and it wasn't really, and now it's the same thing with university.

At each stage of the education system people try to scaremonger you, so you fail :D

Also, what's WAM ?

WAM = Weighted Average Mark

It is the average of all your uni marks for every course.

First year is not too bad, especially the first five weeks which is a complete bludge. Then second/third year was bad.

WAM = Weighted average mark. it's the "weighted average mark" of the results that you get in all of your units.

AS for me:
2nd Year Unsw'er! ;D

Thanks!

And wow, I can't believe how expensive it is. Here at UNE, Gym membership - for public - is quite literally slightly more than 3 times less than the student prices at UNSW, and UNE's student prices is over 4 times cheaper :eek: :eek: :eek:
(On the Bronze Pack)

Why is it so damn expensive? Are city gyms cheaper? :confused:

well, no not really.. prices are higher cause its in (or near) the city. So there's a lot more people who will go to the Gym, compared to UNE in armidale.

This also explains why there's like 3 (last time i counted) Fitness First gyms in Sydney CBD alone. and Fitness First costs a lot more than the uni gym (considering student discounts)
