As uni starts tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to have a place where we can discuss our aims at university- whether they are social, academic or personal! Even if its just getting through the year, that's incredibly valid and important. No matter if you are first year or just finishing up...

I do think BenHowe and I agree with each other. But I apologize to him, I just reread my response and it is a bit too passionate and critical even by my standards. I was stressed, but that's no excuse. It's not my intention to get people worried or upset. EAS is a very personal issue, I think...

You've got me wrong. I actually applied for bonus points, and was incredibly pissed off at my high school. I hated high school, I hated its attitude especially towards students who had faced hardship. Not once did I say that I supported or agreed with my high school. Not once. There is no need...

Back in 2012, I remember the maximum being 5 points. I think, overall bonus points are a beneficial thing. The problem is that everyone is applying for them, so the point of EAS which was to help students who had faced difficulty get into uni.... is now becoming pointless. My high school kind of...

Realistically, I think its much better to space them out. I don't have experience at Macquarie with People and Planet units, but my previous university I took all the core classes at once. Needless to say, it was an utter chore to go to university and my marks suffered. So maybe its best to...

Yeah what I said what just confused ramblings. Thank you for attempting to make sense of them :) I'm sure as I progress through first year, I'll get a clearer picture. For languages, I can always access and pay Sydney Uni's Centre For Continuing Education (which is open to the general public)...

Currently doing a B.A So, my goal for this year is to transfer into the concurrent degree of Bachelor Of Arts / Bachelor Of International Studies (not the same as IR!). I'd need a GPA requirement and some signatures. But my crisis on the previous thread is continuing and expanding. There is...

Thanks for your responses! I'll keep the academic dates in mind. Falling behind doesn't exactly worry me because I already have 6 Credit Points completed (I did OUA subjects last year in English Literature and History). Still aiming for a 4-year degree, but as it is a potentially concurrent one...

I look so pasty on the student card! Was there a white filter or something like that? I can't bring myself to look at it- the card is so awful! Question: would I need a new student card every year, or just when I need to replace the old one?

Thanks for the indepth reply! I think I'll just give it a go. 4 units is alot, so I had a look through my International Relations textbook. And it's vague, but it gives a good, thorough outline and has vital discussion points. Sadly, the unit is not up on iLearn yet but I think I can do the...

So, this was the first unit I enrolled in and I'm starting Macquarie this semester. But in the last 24 hours I've started to really doubt this course. Although those fields interest me (enough to think enrolling in Global Politics was a good idea), I have no intention whatsoever to major in...
