    Yeah, same, I think this too.

    Electronic Dance Music

    Do you think the atmosphere would be similar to stereosonic? By the looks of this, I'd say yes, but you're all crammed in one building.

    Is anyone here going to see Above and Beyond, Sydney?

    Sound have done IT. ~24% of students in IT were female last year. Enjoy CS though. I think CS opens up more opportunities in Software Development, than a pure IT degree.

    First-Year notes for Business/I.T!

    No, while UTS states MX1 is recommended, it's purely for looks. (Makes the course look like it's 'sophisticated' and it forces drop kicks to look elsewhere). There are no mandatory (core) maths subjects in IT or business, apart from accounting, which I've heard is basic maths + a bit more, which...

    Well I'm not sure if UNSW CSE does camps or something, but if they do go to that. And go to O-week. Go to as many activities as possible, to increase your chances of meeting like minded people, BEFORE classes commence.

    confused..late round question

    Enrollment is only done locally within the uni itself. Changing your preferences is done locally within UAC. UAC doesn't see what you enroll in at uni. Your uni doesn't see what your preferences are. They are both independent of each other.

    First-Year notes for Business/I.T!

    Yeah, I'm glad you liked my notes :), bare in mind, the best notes are the notes you make yourself. They are the best way to reinforce your knowledge of any subject apart from maths - maths requires a lot of practice questions (you could do notes on formulas , but that's about it for maths)...

    Yes, be sure to do this!

    confused..late round question

    Pretty high. I got offered BIT at USyd in Main Round. The ATAR requirement was at least 92. I got 90. Also: Did you read this? "If I receive an offer, can I accept it and change preferences for a later round? If you receive an offer to your first preference in one offer round, you won’t be...

    What laptop should i purchase for uni?

    Something like this perhaps? http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/envy14-spectre/specifications.html#.UPpHF8pn3qc You could always opt for an external 2TB HDD for little under $99. XT...

    confused..late round question

    Yeah should be all alright. Check the FAQs on the UAC site. Late round offers are only made, provided the course(s) you want is not full and you meet the ATAR criteria.

    First-Year notes for Business/I.T!

    My friends do. GPA is scaled out of 4. Study tips: Don't be a slacker. Pretty much. Seminars is just another name for a lecture, but seminars are usually only held on the first week of uni to introduce you to a subject.

    Doing Post Grad directly after Undergrad?

    Ahk that explains why introductory subjects are taught in MIT. "Assume nothing, teach everything from the ground up again." Yeah I probably won't. I'm probably over thinking this CS and SENG thing. There doesn't seem to be a pure CS or Software Engineering Postgrad course. I can't find them...

    Doing Post Grad directly after Undergrad?

    Yeah I can understand that. I will finish my undergrad course when I'm 21, post grad is only an extra year of study, or I could undertake honors. (What's the difference between Honors and Masters?) Is Honors of less value to Masters? Looks like Honors only gives me the choice to do a thesis...

    Doing Post Grad directly after Undergrad?

    Because my current undergrad course doesn't let me major, and I want to focus my studies on development. IT is very broad and while it still allows you to focus on development roles, it isn't highly regarded by industry as a degree dedicated to 'Software Development' within some companies, thus...

    Doing Post Grad directly after Undergrad?

    Is this recommended why, or why not? Some programs which interest me: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/information/future-students/postgrad-coursework/programs/ http://sydney.edu.au/courses/Master-of-Information-Technology 3 drawbacks I see: a) I'm most likely going to have full-time...

    Should I even bother with getting a career in IT/Computer Science?

    There's also electives in IT courses (as long as you don't do a double degree or double major). These electives allow you to do more "Computer Science" based subjects. It obviously won't give you the overall in-depth knowledge of a CS degree, but hopefully it will introduce you to topics you...
