I'd like to do Marine Science at usyd but i have no idea what the course is actually like. I'm also from northern NSW and dont have a clue what im going to do about living arrangerments.

any help with either of these problems would be great.

i haven't met anyone who does the course on BOS but anyway...i dont do marine science either but i can tell you what you can do about living arrangements

-go to college!!! i know heaps of people that go there are they love it
You dont really have that many options.It's either that or shared accomodation/living by yourself which in Sydney you dont want to be doing especially in first year when you're getting used to everything.

my friend does marine science, here at usyd. she says its quite ok, just the physics is hard, and the maths.

Would that friend be me, Nitya my dear?

Anyway, sorry it took so long to reply! I'm in 1st year Marine Science (MARS) - and it can be difficult, yeah. You don't actually do anything remotely mariney in first year - but you do have to do Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Geography, Biology and quite a bit of Math. It may sound scary, but it really isn't.

Second year is where the fun starts, and unfortunately I can't give you any feedback on that yet, lol. However, MARS as I've experienced so far is definantly worthwhile. I say go for it (but then I may be biased xD).


Uni has some pretty good colleges, as well as it's own 'village' (Sydney University Village) like 5 mins away. They're worth checking out
