I've tried most methods and many of them don't work for me. What I find works best is a display clip folder with about 15 pages of binder paper in there. Each day I write the subject at the top, do all my notes, and when I get home I put into a big folder for future reference, and bring clean...

Don't worry, I felt really lost in my first year as well. Everyone kept telling how many hours a week you had to study, and how hard it was and I just didn't know how or what to study. In your first few weeks you are not going to have a full study load. The way you study is going to depend on...

I was pretty sure that ACT didn't have bonus points...not sure.

I just started here on campus at Wright Village and there are lots of international students. Its great.

Believe it or not I own about 10-15kgs of clothing and shoes (not that much at all - fits in a small suitcase (55L?)), three dvd/cd sleave cases, a laptop, a netbook, mobile phone, Ipod Nano and a handful of blank and filled notebooks, and a couple of novels, a pillow and a stuffed bear named...

I'm flying to Melbourne this evening and to Sydney tomorrow morning, then up to Armidale. I wish I had a car worth. I can only take a small bag with me :( Were you sent anything with instructions? Do we just sort of go up to our residence offices or something?

In all honesty, $160 for a share studio in Belconnen is outrageous. I lived in Belconnen (share house) - sort of near Westfield in 2008 and paid $160 and got a huge room, ensuite, walk in robe, fully furnished, new kitchen and a pool. I used to live in Belco for a little and while I...

Casual definitely, higher straight up pay rate (although no sick leave), you can ask for a week or so off near exam week, but with part time you have to work that. Talk to the people if you go for an interview, thats what interviews are for. Don't just try to get the job to get it, tell them...

Yeah, strange question I know, but are there baths in the bathrooms? Or is it just a shower deal? I like baths.

rose or has risen To everyone else - sometimes good things happen, go with them. If things are going your way don't make a fuss. You may never know why you got in and someone else didn't. Move on, count your blessings. You play the hand you're dealt, and you'll find that sometimes you get dealt...

Your entrance rank is calculated by averaging your GPA rank with your UAI. A pass GPA average was a UAI of around 83, so probably an 84 ATAR or something. You should be able to work out what your rank is. Did you get a really low UAI? If so, that could be what is pulling you down. I am sorry...

Join Deb Soc, they are pretty active society and you should meet people. Don't be afraid to walk up to strangers. Also, university isn't the only place to meet people in Canberra. Take a course in something you are interested in. Socialness won't been thrown in your face but you can choose a...

Not bad at all. There is no textbook - just a brick. The readings aren't too bad. You have 10% tutorial participation. Your first assessment (if its like previous years) is a 500 word exercise which requires little to no research. Just sort of thinking something out and describing and arguing...

I much prefer days. Night is my time for being with me and at home.

Lamp is a good question. Why would you want a fan? Its freezing year round in Armidale.

Its all that bad.

Surely you should get a clean apartment on arrival. Check your contract.

I did Phil1004 last year. Jeremy (the lecturer) is pretty great, quite funny and friendly. His jokes are a bit "everyone groan in usion" style but he's nice. I had a really good tutor and tute group and we all used to sit around and have really good discussions with lots of contribution. I...

If you have the accommodation guarantee I imagine they'll find someplace to put you. I wouldn't worry too much about it, if worse comes to worse just go to Canberra, stay at a Backpackers or something until you find a room in a share house. Last year some groups were discussing with ANU a...

Lectures and tutorials generally only run for 50mins to allow for time to get to your next one. I am under the impression this happens at all universities. In my experience lectures can often start late or finish early, as there are no questions there isn't really anything to slow them down...
