Asking the real questions mate.

Then again, I'm wondering how the new light rail line to anzac parade is going to change things.

I legit had my first HSP a few months ago. Never again!! It’s sooooo plain like literally all I see is meat and some chips and some sauce. It’s soo overrated. I would rather eat a delicious Oporto burger!

Yeah I mean it wasn’t bad as such but I guess my expectations were really high because everyone’s always talking about it.

Will UNSW open for trimester 2? I understand that the uni has moved to online learning.
Any thoughts on whether the uni will open to face-to-face lectures?
Would appreciate your comments. Thanks.
PS Fairly important as plans need to be made.

They said that they may begin some classes in person if the situation becomes safer and allows for it. But these in person things will be optional. So if you don't want to go in person, you can complete the term online, which is probably what most people will do.

In terms of face-to-face lectures I doubt they will be in person for majority of term 2. Lectures are probably the last thing that will come back to being in person since you have the largest amount of people in one place for those classes. As you know some courses have 300-400 people per lecture slot. So they aren't going to just start everything up in one go, it will probably be in stages, with I think lectures being the last classes.

In my opinion, if there are any classes in person, the first ones will likely be for those courses that are the most impacted by having to do online learning, in terms of lessening the learning quality. That will probably be labs and then followed by tutorials, since for those there is a smaller amount of people in one place and there's less of a substitute compared to lectures for doing practicals.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about going to UNSW next year for a Software Engineering course. Could any engineer students tell me the ups and downs of it because I'm currently conflicted between UNSW and ANU. Thanks
