Just wondering what you guys thought.. Currently I'm full time (acct 1501, legt1711, econ1101, econ1202)...

In session 2 I will be working full time and studying part time- I decided to enrol in 18UOC (the three core subs for B Comm s2)- acct1502, econ1102, econ1203.

Do you think this'll be too much work?

ive worked full time whilst doing 3 subjects a semester since 1st sem last year
its not hard, and our busy season here is a lot more hectic than sydney cos were massively understaffed. as long as you dont expect ds/hds across the board youll be fine. remember pwc expects work to come before uni.

Does the commerce faculty at UNSW even allow it?

I think you can do all 4 subjects at night (Mon, Tues, Wed and Thurs)- but of course that'll be way too much.

My sister ended up recommending I only do two since for the first semester of work/study, I should try to put my heart into my work and see how much time I have left.

why dont you start off with three then drop back to two before the census date if youre finding it too hard?
