    Macquarie University

    You clearly have no idea how university works. It is completely different than high school. Do you really think you can get through university telling everyone you got a 94.05 ATAR? People at UNSW will probably laugh at you if you try that since most of them will have a higher ATAR than you...

    Choosing 1 of MKTG204/208/210

    Great Thanks! I tend to do better in more specific topics more than broad units. For example i did better in consumer behaviour then Introduction to Marketing. Is it a broad kinda of topic, that was the impression I got. Cheers

    Laptop bag

    It depends if you can find one with a comfortable enough strap. I gave up on a laptop bad because it was just too heavy to carry on one sholder. I now use a padded sleeve and put that in my backpack between books to keep it as protected as possible. Its just easier to use a back pack in my opinion.

    Surely you could just drop it all together though? If not, what was you major?

    Unique Courses that other Universities dont have?

    Things like occupational therapy, physiotherapy etc only select universities do. Policing is another one.

    what was your first day at uni like??

    I can't talk for other universities but at MQ you meet a mentor the week before you start university and they show you around campus in groups of like 10. You can ask them questions and they can act as a go to person for the first week or so of university if you have any questions. It's a...

    Bachelor of Commerce at UNSW or Usyd?

    It depends on what major you want to do really. In general UNSW is considered the best, followed by both Macquarie and university sydney for a commerce degree. In saying that I am at macquarie and have the GPA to transfer to UNSW but I don't think I will. Its about more than the course, I would...

    what was your first day at uni like??

    That's right - if you don't like the people you are with don't worry. Chances are after that semester you will never even see them again if you don't make the effort. I have started a conversation with atleast 1 person in every class I have gone into and out of all those classes I have 2 people...

    What made you want to do your uni course?

    When I left school I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do so I worked for a couple of years first in the industry. Now I know what i want to do (I hope) and so I looked at what universities offered what I wanted, and it was also important to me the uni was flexible in taking electives outside my...

    Question on Uni offers

    Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. Bearing in mind obviously ATAR cut offs can move from year to year. If you are above it by alot though you can pretty safely assume you are in.

    What do you need to bring to uni?

    I normally have the following in my bag: snacks - lollies or something as lectures can't get tiring and sugar helps iPod - for the bus Pens/pencils - and other stationary as needed like ruler, whiteout calculator (when needed) textbooks (if you need to take them, often I just get them out of...

    what was your first day at uni like??

    Your first day will be fine. Not sure about other universities but at Macquarie most tutorials don't start until week 2 anyway so you are unlikely to be rushing around trying to find classes instead you are likely just to be going in for one lecture and then that's it. You can take the rest of...

    combined law - finishing law first?

    MQ don't like it but as far as I am aware you can. I don't know how, but I know someone who did the whole graduation ceremony and everything for law and still has a year of her BBA left. Sorry I can't be of more help - all I know is that it has been done but they don't like to do it.

    Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Applied finance/Commerce (Job prospects)

    I Know of a couple of people who were originally doing the applied finance and switched to normal commerce with finance major as they were doing double degrees and the applied finance is much harder was was making their GPA drop. It's entirely up to you but from what I have heard the applied...

    B Business @ UTS vs B Commerce @ Macquarie

    I may be bias because I am at Macquarie but I didn't even list UTS as one I would consider. I guess it depends what major you want to do as UTS might be better if you wanted to focus on something like tourism (although MQ has a campus in Manly (i think) that does all that kinda stuff). I used...

    Macquarie University

    I go to Macquarie University and do a Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing). Like any university its has its good points and bad points. It's acturial studies course is said to be very good and the business faculty overall has a good reputation. ATAR cut offs are about demand not quality, although...

    Textbooks?

    I wouldn't bother with the book for ACST101 its not compulsary and I never had any need for it. The lecture notes are really comprehensive. BBA102 you need the book, just for exams and stuff - I have already sold mine but you can prob find loads second hand. Maybe even on here in the buy and...
