so what is your question?
do you mean do you still reenrol? its best if you still enrol as a security measure, i mean not everyone is succesful, not saying that you arent succesful, but its pays to be safe.
if you want trasnfer info, go the the transfer section in uni general where you can get info on your nrsl etc.

Re - enrol just to be on the safe side. Then you can withdraw after you receieve your offers (i think theres a form at the student centre, from memory you need your course co-ordinators signature as well).

hmm.. I don't want to go to uni if I don't get my transfer... I think I'm gonna enrol in the units from the design degree that I haven't done and enrol in only one science unit...

I don't wanna be at UWS any more I hate it, there are too many people who are too different to me and I found t he perfect course at ACU

its her choice, some will hate and some will like, i mean im not as fond of penrith as with parra so anyway...
with your reenrolemnt, use your electives if you want to reenrol just in case. i mean, i remeber at penrith for my course [B Tech] that the people would not turn up except for the first lecture, last and exam period, so if you hate it that much. do that and have more time reading and working etc. Not that i condone this behaviour, no no no...

and just in passing, is it that bad? like what is so bad? i mena people teasing you? or just the lack of personality...[in some courses] different in what way? Parra isnt that bad...maybe a lack of campus life?

Personality clashes in the work place are one of my most common causes of dismissal and quitting.
Even tho I am a noob on this forum I am amazed at how much ppl in their last year of high school/first year of uni know so much about uni and the work force. Amazing! Are you still using nappies or are you onto those pull ups?

a) How old are you, wise old man?

b) My parents own a business and i've observed this... I have also worked 3 different jobs and observed this there too.

c) I have read it in books also.

Hehe. Nice jokes. Seriously you guys will be amazed how much your perspective on things changes in the next couple of years. I didn't mean what I said in a bad way. High school/first yearers seem to have an answer for everything in these forums, and its usually the wrong answer.

One of the first questions you get asked in behavioural interviews is to provide an example of when you had to work with ppl with attitudes that didnt agree with your own and how you dealt with it. I am pretty sure that 'I ran away crying' isn't the response that interviewers are looking for.

Yes because dealing with people you dislike is a good skill, however it still stands that there is a point (for most people) where they will simply leave rather than put up with people... And of course if you don't have to put up with people... why would you?

yeah ok, i know you might be an ageist and all but i highly doubt even the smallest-minded graduates would say 'i ran away crying.'

You seem like you're trying to generalise HSC'ers/first year uni students into a type, it doesn't work though, and if you were really as smart and 'above us' as you seem to think you are you would know that generalising is idiotic. I agree with you that most of us seem to think we have the answer when we don't but we are not ALL like that, ntb, for example makes a good point and i'm very sure it's as informed as any point you could make on the same topic.

I dunno, i just think that its a bit panzy. You should never give up on something you want to do because of somebody else.
But anyway, who really gives a crap, this is a dumb topic. Like natstar said, wait for the workforce. U will be changin jobs 24/7 with an attitude like that.

and it stil amazes myself and others both at uni and in public how people who are older automatically assume they know everything and we know nothing..

of course... we haven't researched what we want to do, haven't done paid or non-paid work experience, haven't got work placements already, haven't been involved in coop programs or other scholarship programs...

its attitudes like that that lead to business being filled with chauvinistic old men who are permanently a decade behind technological and organisational trends and changes

some of the behaviour of uni students is disgraceful too..they would never get away with it in the workplace -

eg group work at uni, my bf's group had 4 people, 2 didn't turn up for 7 out of the 8 weeks worth of allocated group work sessions which was basically what the assignmenmt was marked on, the 2 who never turned up regardless of being recorded as failing to attend still got the mark my bf n his friend got..

if you were inb a workplace and 2 members of your team decided they didn't feel like coming to work for 7 weeks for no reason at all they'd be sacked simple as that

why should you have to put up with shit at uni you wouldn't have to in the workplace?

plus personality is a huge part of business functioning well..if the entrie company is at each other's throats everyday, they'll have a hard time succeeding and you probably won't work to the best of your ability coz you'll have the shits everday, so i dont' see why everyone has such a problem with people wanting to go to uni in a place they enjoy and with people they get on with when people do it in the workforce all the time...

I nvr said i know everything. And wtf I am not even old. I am just sayin ppl who got NFI shouldn't guess crap.

Ur totally right with the whole uni project thing. But in the long run the ppl who put in the work end up better off, cause u actually learnt something.

To be wise is to know that you know nothing.

don't get all prophetic... you misquoted me so don't get all antzy at something i didn't say..

clearly, you are "older" which is what i said... not "old" and besides "old" is completely comparative so i can call you old if i was to, all i want coz compared to me you are old, unless for some reason yo are a genius who managed to do their HSC at age 14/15 since i did my HSC in 2004 and i'm 19 so clearly, you are older..

its an undisputed fact so don't be so offended,,,

i didn't say you think you know everything - once again - don't misquote me then get all shitty... it was clearly a generalisation...

just coz you put in work doesn't mean shit - if you put in a shitload of work, all your group does nothing, you fail, you have to redo the course - i doubt you're gonna give a shit about whether you 'learnt something'.. same goes if you get sacked coz of co-workers incompetence...

not everyone believes in self-satisfaction as the best result... i get a feeling most people would regard passing uni and getting a job rather than becoming a bum as more important...

Nearly every group project I have done at uni has had at least one bum that didnt do their work. Some coordinators have some sort of presentation and question time after a group project to determine who has bludged. It sux heaps when u have to work 2 times as hard because somebody is bludgin. I guess what I am saying is that you just gotta deal with it, its part of uni. Some ppl enjoy wastin money on uni so that they can go to the bar. Why don't they just quit uni and go to some chatty bar and save the money?

yeh i don't mean those assignments coz its clear when someone hasn't done the work... or when its just one person whose a jerk..

imean those shitty ones that a lot of people say they get for business units at uws n otehr unis where its like 90% mark based on the report/essay, 10% on spoken presentation and if you got a group of 5 and 2 people don't do anythin it makes it shithard...

don't forget too - a lot of people don't really pay much for uni and if VSU gets passed they won't have to pay for anything really - there's HECS so you can go to uni and never pay technically and if you're a moron who doesn't purchase let along photocopy relevant parts of required texts uni's virtually free:p

OMG I know what you mean. I had a group assignment that I practically did myself. 1 girl forgot it was due and didnt do anything. And the others, even though I like them heaps as people, were pretty dumb and I had to re-write their parts. I just have standards when it comes to group work. Thank god for peer assessment though
yeh i don't think i got anythin that involves peer assessment anytime soon at least...

like.. i mean.. i got standards for group work but by that i'm not one of those Nazi who gets on their high horse and lectures everyone about how everyone should get a HD coz that's the minimum they expect blah blah blah

pisess me off especially when they end up being the least active and i guess... 'intelligent' in their responses....

my standards are more or less people turn up when you agree to meet or whatever and that you contribute as much as you can.. like..if you don't understand stuff it's no biggy if you're like a technological genius who can spend hours slaving over some huge impressive powerpoint thingo..

long as nobodys free riding and veryone turns up it's all good
