Mondays and Fridays lol. Lower to upper to lower campus is death but good exercise I guess.

Can also confirm: best physics teacher ever! Used to go PEAK... FC > PEAK in every way possible + more! (no regrets making the switch) You won't find a tutor more dedicated and caring than FC, would highly recommend 10/10.

I did the easiest thing ever: time the time it takes to melt an ice cube in different household liquids, e.g. vinegar, milk, etc.

Persistance is key! Always check http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/current/subjectSearch.html every day (refreshes every 24 hours). Sometimes UNSW opens new time slots OR increase the size of a class OR people will move. Best of luck :)

Had a friend who did mechanical engo/law at usyd - dropped law a week later (but that's because he wasn't interested in it in the beginning i.e. prestige). He said there's very open class discussions and debates so if you're passionate in law, your communication skills should increase over time...

Electrical Engineering/ Computer Science is better imo. Computer engineering is very similar to computer science but less flexible (in terms of subjects to take) I heard. I reckon more job opportunities for EE/CS combo.

When my friend did med sci, all she used was the lecture notes. You don't need textbooks at all. Only for additional reading.

Compulsory but you can do it anytime. I had a group member who was in 4th year in 2nd semester take ENGG1000 so it's up to you. But highly recommend you do it first year, first semester. If not, just avoid it in 2nd semester of any year.

Btw OP what are you planning to transfer to? Was it Psychology or Law or something else?

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. + $28 concession sticker

Actually it's the Never Alone Society haha.

Most of my friends achieved 75+ wam in first year engineering. It's not difficult, you just need to study smart. I.e. if you don't learn anything in lectures then just learn it by yourself. As for your subjects, just do the work every week, don't fall behind and you'll be fine. And if you were...

Yep you won't need it until class tests a few weeks later. (Just remember to keep your secondary student concession card on so you don't need to pay full price for transport until you get your ID card)

Just get your concession when uni resumes since the 2014 concession sticker expires on 31/03/2015.

Yeah they have midyear but also depends on how many vacancies. Remember bonus points don't count- not that you need them anyway. Also prepare for the fact not all your units could count (depends on how different the structure of the courses are).

Australia doesn't really have a biomed industry so if you really wanted to work in biomed, you might end up having to look for opportunities overseas. Imo do biomed if you're really interested in it and are not sure software is the way to go. If you really like software, it'll be better to do...

I heard there are jobs but your actual job would not be a "chemical engineer".

If your lecturer draws/writes things on the board and doesn't include this in the lecture notes later on or something like that, best to find a friend who you can get them off. Otherwise, not worth going.

Following the plan http://www.engineering.unsw.edu.au/civil-engineering/resources/bachelor-of-civil-engineeringbachelor-of-environmental-engineering-3631-commencing-2015 would make your life easier. I'm pretty sure CHEM1101/CHEM1031 is a CORE for environmental so you have to do that anyway...

Love Truongs. Imo I think its more suited to people who are already talented at maths and want to be challenged, learn new/better techniques etc. They never publish results - only for class tests, but never HSC (or at least, not anymore).
