I'm doing Bachelor of Veterinary science this year. I've never been to university before, so I'm a little excited but nervous as well.

I know in university, you don't have teachers breathing down your necks, which is something I honestly will miss. XD It's more independent.

How much more different is uni from high school?

How about study-wise? Like is it more difficult? Not particularly interested in bars...
If you're not interested in bars, then study will be easy for you. :)

No uniform
Your choice whether you go to classes
Topics are more focused

I'm looking forward to that. ^^ It's good to study something you actually will use in the future, than bloody integration and stuff in maths. x_x

It differs for everyone. For me it's a hell of a lot harder and takes a lot more effort, however since i'm studying what i love i enjoy doing the work.
I see... I guess veterinary science would be kinda intense?

Yeah I know, but I meant in relation to my course. :p Yeah, I don't think we'll use it in Vet sci!

WRONG.
No enclosed shoes, lab coat or safety glasses means no entrance to labs.
It's not really a definitive uniform though. It's more safety equipment. They don't give you set colours though do they? Or certain designs?

In any case:

'Mostly' No Uniform.

:D

I've just finished 3 commerce subjects, and I think in total I had one question that was math based. :)

Do you have to provide your own lab coat and safety goggles?

UNSW needs a travelator between lower and upper campus. So many steps! It is easier to walk up the wheelchair ramps than climb 500 steps!
