    USYD - snobbery?

    I'm an arts student and I'm really shy and scared of people, so I'm the opposite of that stereotype. But from experience of friends, PHIL, GOVT and ENG are really snobby especially mature age students apparently really dominate and try to put everyone else's views down. But I did history and...

    Whats the furthest you have had to walk between classes?

    From Carslaw East Wing Auditiorium, ECOP1001 lecture always goes over time ends at 12.57, to Wallace Theatre, HSTY1076 which starts at 10ish. I always came barely on time normally, and then I injured my knee so I limed there the rest of the semester. It really sucked cause I love both classes. I...

    is USYD more conservative or liberal

    OMG yes I find that really scary how violently opposed they are to Israel!! :( They approached me in O Week and then when I heard their extreme views on Israel I've been avoiding them ever since! And people are like that in my GOVT tutes too! So this really put me off from politics in uni, and...

    Best history elective?

    Probably by now my answer is redundant but, my friend is doing Modern Europe History 1750-1914 and apparently it's horrible really boring and the lecturer Dr Moses is really mean and embarrasses people if they have to leave early from the lecture. I will be doing Twentieth Century Europe next...

    Disrespect for teachers

    I agree completely. Teachers are my heroes and I really admire them and noone even seems to respect them. In yr12 especially some students were so mean they actually left early while the Legal Studies teacher went to photocopy exam notes for them which she wrote just for them! :( They're so...

    Is it physically possible to hand in assignments on Saturday/Sunday?

    Eg in Merewether Building for ECOP it's in that office so I was wondering if you can still actually submit it to put it in the box or is it locked?

    is teaching quality in Usyd that bad??

    No.. Well I can't compare to NSW I'm new at Usyd but I really like most of my teachers... Some of them are sort of well known and really nice like Stillwell.. Though, actually some you can't understand well because they talk too fast but I'd say the content is good...
