The image conscious universities are inflating their marks again me thinks...

Arts may get you work at a government think-tank/strategic policy institute if that's where your heart so desires. Also, have you thought about the postgrad path to boost/focus your degree into a certain direction?

I tend to think take notes in your first semester to see how you go and if you need them. If you find that you need them, keep taking notes. If not, then reign it back in. Pretty simple.

What was your GPA and WAM like? And your ATAR? I'm trying to transfer also.

On the student in front of you who won't stop playing (insert game here) on their PSP/Mobile/Laptop... I like the first or third option. I find if you have the 5 subject notebooks, and you use it for all the subjects, and then you lose the book, you are in a bit of trouble...

I don't think there is any set amount. In my opinion, do as much as you need to do to pass. After that, if you are aiming for higher marks, do more. I think everyone has different capabilities. Some people might struggle with the course content yet some may find it incredibly easy.

As someone said earlier it's not what you do its what you do with it. Which is the exact words I would say. Any degree is useful to have, but it's what you do with that degree after you have finished that is most important. Take whatever you can out of uni and look at doing work experience and...

I can't believe how quick everything went. I got everything I wanted but I had a look five minutes later and it was filled! I'm there Mon-Wed. No breaks between most of my stuff but they are short 4 or 5 hour days.

Just to clarify I'm starting this year. I did my HSC in 2000

+1 I'm in the same boat as you. I'm really looking forward to getting started. You?
