How do you pick out the First Year Students (3 Viewers)

[bec_peace]

you get jerseys in year 10?

Yeh we get them in yr 10 and a hoodie in yr 12

Nawww, you poor soul

LOL i think over 500 people in my maths lecture have the 'omg take your hand off so i can see' thought. xD

 

[russianROULETTE]

Yeah, I'm one of the ones who stops to look at maps all the time, though I disagree about ENTER/UAI asking, I'm @ Monash 1st yr, and out of all the randoms I talked to in lectures/tutes none of em asked my ENTER, the only dude that did was a kid from my school. They do all love to ask what school I went to though.

yeah i disagree about the ATAR asking too, no one has asked me and i haven't asked anyone. it's a stupid thing to do anyway, either you or the person you're talking to will end up feeling awkward. there's no real way to ask/answer without sounding elitist and snobby.

I just plain refuse to carry my anatomy textbook, It's too heavy.
no one has asked my ATAR
I admittedly wear my yr 12 jersey (cos its the only jumper I've got atm)
I no longer use a map, I ask a friend who has this habit of finding the room at least 3 hours in advance

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

I'm in 4th year and I still turn up early to lectures (10 minutes or so) so it's not just a first year thing. I walk fast and don't like being late for anything even uni. Three years of uni has not dulled this urge to be punctual at all.

 

[scarybunny]

I like to be on time.

Hate it when people arrive to lectures 20 minutes late.

who the heck wears their year 12 jersey outside of school??

i started laughing at this bloke who wore it on a saturday, and im pretty sure it wasn't a private boarding school either

 

[RDX]

When their looking in their diary of the campus map whilst walking around.

People actually do that ?

lol quite common, some of the 2nd year kids I know still do it oddly enough.

 

[q3thefish]

I've only map'd it once.

 

[Raix]

Rofl yep, I come early to lectures...if I don't I just skip them cause I can't be bothered looking around for a seat.
I carry a freaking heavy bag for no reason cause I bought bounded lecture notes for each of my units and I carry the diary around for the map...although someone did give me the map as a picture so I could look at it on my phone instead xD

Hate people who ask stuff during lectures. Save it for labs and tutes or whatever =='

i agree. there's this guy who did it a few times in eco, he was just trying to be like 'look im so smart' to the lecturer. so annoying.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

we often have debates/arguments in our lectures which is always fun. either between lecturers and students, students and students, or a bit of both.

hate people who just pipe up with questions or comments just to be smartasses though, or when it's irrelevant or stupid.

 

[Otacon2009]

Could be a QUT thing but wears the First Year shirt at the first opportunity, along with any associated pub crawl/O-Week shirt even after the said events. I plead guilty there.

 

[Taketheatrain]

I still need the map and attend lectures (most of the time) and I am in third year.
First years are so noisy during lectures. They finally learn to stfu when they realise that the class has been reduced by 40% due to failing or dropping out.

 

[Loneliness is]

* They still compare UAIs
* They stop in front of the uni map

(I lulz when Med students carry their textbooks around with the cover facing away from them so that everybody can see they're studying anatomy... It's very subtle, if you ask me.)

This is all very rich coming from me lol

yeah cunts i still stop infront of hte map and ask for directions

i wish my lectures were interactive like this. everyone's still so shell-shocked the lecturers can't coax anyone to reply, even as a large group.

 

[scarybunny]

I have an interactive lecture, but there's only 50 of us in the room so it's not too difficult.
