I always tell people that if they want to study in a particular faculty or university, they should ignore what people tell them and see for themselves. Ask for a detailed tour, you'll probably get it. This way you can form your OWN opinions about the state of disrepair.

lol the whole of USyd is in a state of disrepair except for the Union its the best one by far!

Well ill confirm that the computers at usyd arnt exactly state of the art (the madsen labs especially!!!) but .. for what you use them for, they do the job they need to do and they do it well

You rate the USyd union?

I like it how a bottle of water from a store in Redern is cheaper than one from a union outlet... Our union is one of the best

 

[routemarker]

i mean the facilities! god only knows UNSW needs a big pool room like USyd.

hopefully (YOU - the election ppl) if voted will give us the pool table in every common room they promised ....

anyone know about extra curricular stuff at each uni? i'm thinking acting mainly

also - if each has certain good faculties, what's ur view on best arts and languages?

yeah, i must say syd worried me a little as the atmosphere did kinda seem a little up itself, seems to be the place where all the private school people head, but then it's also gorgeous...

mmm, decisions eh?!

SUDS (sydney uni dramatic society) is the oldest in the country and has its own the theatre (the cellar theatre) on campus. They often have plays that members have written/directed/star in and there's a week (I think) where they just showcase a whole lot of short plays by members.

Meh, atmosphere is what you make of it. All the most pretentious ppl i know actually went to unsw, but yes there are a lot of private school kids at usyd

thanx, well that's it then - if i wasn't sure before

mmm, now it's just whether to do arts advanced or arts languages...
