uh wat uni courses do u recommend (1 Viewer)

[Frigid]

asqy, is your disdain for usyd resulting from the fact you missed the cutoff?

 

[Toodulu]

yea i was interested in international studies too, except i want something with more emphasis on the social science discipline part of it

 

[...]

i dun want to go to Syd!!

LONG LIVE ANU!!

 

[Frigid]

but usyd is all pretty and sandstoney - warm and fuzzy colour... and it's got a big library... and i like getting spoonfed

 

[Toodulu]

heh heh.. have you been to canberra? i was only there for a little while and it really wasn't the most exciting few hours of my life.

 

[Frigid]

is this the next stage of school pride - like uni pride? USYD vs. UNSW?

edit: ..., canberra was burning the last time i went there - i got out asap.

 

[Toodulu]

i don't have any school pride though. this is a foreign concept to me

i want to escape reality...canberra is a good place for that

besides, international related stuff, ANU has a good reputation in that area

 

[...]

yea, only uni to link with oxford....

 

[Toodulu]

you could take a course and just add the word 'international' to it, and the UAI cut-off would go up. it just sounds nice.

dun put me down toodulu...

my moral is close to zero now

 

[Frigid]

i heard from pigs that they modelled the main building of USYD on cambridge - is that true?

 

[Frigid]

too scared to use the word 'attractive', Asqy?

it'll be so funny if i dun make it to usyd next year and go to unsw *hides face in shame*

i'm sorry!! i wanted to do that too and that's what my careers adviser told me!

i think i'm not half as smart as i'd like to think i am, and i have no idea how i rank with the rest of the state. argh, that's why looking at courses i want to do is kind of difficult. i wish the school could give us an estimated UAI.

 

[Frigid]

LoL, not the way you're suggesting ... no i find it warm and fuzzy and homely and comfortable - somewhere i can learn and enrich and appreciate... like my school (est. 1883)...

edit: dun worry toodz - ur school is major kickass anyway.

 

[Frigid]

just for comparison:

Sydney Boys' High School - 1883
The University of Sydney - 1850

edit: sandstone is pretty pretty.

 

[Toodulu]

oh, i was so overwhelmed when i went to usyd for the first time. i'm a real sucker for tradition too.

what about the unsw tower..its has really nice sutset views...and it looks like its made of ivory when the sun shines on it hence 'ivory tower'

to tell you the truth i had a bad dream after i went there for the 'courses and careers' day... coz somebody told me it was the law students' 'tower of power' and i dreamt it was some evil structure...

well, not really. we just have a few smart kids at the top.. only 60% get over 90 UAI because we're not very selective, the entrance exams are a joke.

edit: hmm, considering we're a relatively small school (about 150 kids a year) it shouldn't be too hard to get a higher percentage than that... our rank in the state went down last year too. i guess we're just getting dumber and dumber. hope the pattern doesn't continue in that direction

only

like that word toodulu...lol

our school..not even 6%...lol
