Thoughts on UNSW open day? (1 Viewer)

[deloving]

+ Amazing Library. (very very very important aspect heh)
+ Friendly lectures. (I liked the International Studies one hehe)
+ Easy to get around the facility. (stairs are not a problem)

- +1 hour bus ride. (Fortunately I was not by myself)
- Not enough time inbetween lectures.

Oh, anyone know who the Ash Ketchum cosplay guy was?

And too bad for those 3 people who were drafted to win the Sennheiser headphones at the Electrical Engineering lecture, but missed out because they left 5 minutes earlier.

I got there at like 2 but it was still exciting and fun! I went on the Segway and that was really cool and the engineering guys there were nice I also bought a really good cookie there

That was the Pokemon society president. I was with him volunteering to advertise that UNSW had a pokemon society (Y)

So basically I was just giving pokeballs for ppl to chuck at cans; 3 in a row and you win a prize.

Around 3 hours. It was so much hard work, nevertheless, a good workout (Y)

What observation deck?

When you were walking up the big stairs, did you see that building straight ahead with something that looks like the decepticon sign at the top of its front? Yeah the observation deck was up there lol. There was stairs at the back of the big white tents at the scientia lawn that went up to it aha.

I went there today =)
Great university, I really liked it. Especially the library.
Was painful to find parking for my car though.

Best open day ever!!! Kinda bummed i couldn't find entrance to the library :'(

Did anybody attend the 12:50 finance lecture? The guy there seemed quite nice, but I couldn't keep myself from snickering at the way he said 'faculty'

The 1:30 advanced science lecture was pretty damn good too, as well as the tour of the chem labs. So going there next year as well, but I might just walk around and experience the tents

Did anybody play table tennis somewhere near the red centre/built environment faculty (is this even the correct location?) ? I didn't see it

^Wait what????....there was table tennis???? ahh I really want to play against some of elite players when I go uni

Advance science lecture was pretty cool....Julian Cox as usual is pretty funny when presenting

 

[simskee]

Yeah! I played table tennis near the chemical science theatres but, it was very windy at the time

 

[wilsondw]

who u guys played against?

 

[simskee]

my friends the uni players probably stopped playing because of the epic wind.

Did anyone attend the law lectures? I have yearlies in a week and had to study.

The Advanced Science lecture was brilliant! I'm really surprised more people didn't turn up and that there wasn't more than one. In all seriousness, it made the whole day more than worth it.

Medicine lecture was helpful and explained heaps,
however my heat sank when he said the median ATAR was 99.75

The Basser stairs are horrible especially if you have to walk up and down them multiple times a day.
And some of you guys who say its easy seem like your referring to another set of stairs.

The bus rides, you haven't seen anything yet. 10 min walk vs 15 minute buss ride (+15 waiting time). I beg to differ.

I went to the Philosphy talk, and was happy that the professor answered my question

So that was you that asked about how everything is assessed in Philosophy, sitting tests etc.

Yeah!....plus they even stayed back to answer all of our questions!
