Uni Jumping (1 Viewer)

[Dingo2004]

i know this guy who did economics at UWS for one year
then transfered to commerce at Macquarie and did that for one year
then transfered to commerce at UNSW and did that for one year
and then transfered to economics at Usyd and did the 3rd year of it and graduated with a B Economics from Usyd...

omg !!

PS: went to 4 unis in the duration of 4 years and graduate with a degree from the final uni !!! that is amazing !! i wanna do that too !! get a taste of all unis !!! hahaha

Get a taste for all uni's while racking up a gigantic HECS bill. Going from UNSW to UWS cost me a nice $6K.

Well that's coz Science and Policing have nothing/little to do with each other

At least that guy jumped between similar/same courses, so he could get subject exemptions.

Do the bulk of your degree at a second or third rate uni with no recognition, swap to ANU/UNSW/USYD for the final year and walk away with a degree worth something

I intend transferring (unless I really really love the ppl and the uni) in 2nd or third year to either ANU or UTS

ANU apparently has a lounge for the Law students! See you there in 2005

 

[MiuMiu]

Yeah I know Ive been there and had every intention of going there this year but changed prefs at last minute (personal reasons), ANU spoil their law students like nothing else!

 

[golfstick]

fuck i should have gone to anu!!

transferring for us will cost more because HECS goes up (i think 30%) at the end of this year

 

[Ziff]

Not unless we vote Latham in

 

[golfstick]

fucking labor are the ones who brought hecs in, in the first place

 

[Ziff]

Labor are the ones who brought free univeristy education in, in the first place...

Anyway, yeah, HECS... the system that Howard's trying to bring in is bad, the fees should be calculated from a central point and apply equally amongst all universities. That's plain fair.

Hecs is a good system though, economically and socially speaking, it keeps the national debt low (which would be very high if it didn't exist) and doesn't force people to pay it back at 8% interest 6 months after graduation (which is how US/Canadian student loans work).

Hecs has no interest besides being indexed...

Don't you have to complete at least 50% of the coursework at any one university to recieve a degree from that uni (well thats how it is an anu, anyway)? Wouldn't that mean if you transferred every year, you wouldn't have completed 50% of the courses at any uni and so although you completed the course no uni would give you a degree with thier name on it?

 

[santaslayer]

i thought u could only uni jump after the first year ? someone told me if u wanted to jump, u could only do it once at that was after the 2nd semester of the first year!

Hell with all this HECS crap, bring back free uni!

 

[christ_ine]

I concur.

I found these postcards from the Greens at uni today. You tick the boxes and send it in. It adds your name to a petition for free uni. Not that anybody will care, but you know. No harm in trying eh.
