USYD open day 2012 Anybody go? How was it all? I couldn't go :( So I was just wondering if those that actually did could enlighten me on how the lectures + the whole day (+ the free food and goodies) actually were Which lectures did you guys attend?

^ Thanks a bunch :) What does QED mean?

This maximum/minimum proboblem (of a parabola) is from 8E of the Y11 Cambridge 3U book (p298): 14. A Tasmanian orchardist notices that an apple tree will produce 300 apples per year if 16 trees are planted in every standard-sized field. For every additional tree planted in the standard-sized...

I've only done a bit of chem and half of my eco notes :( And my exams start in less than 3 weeks. So happy that these don't count toward the HSC, but we don't have the luxury of saying that for much longer :/ Back to typing up about metal reactivities....

Including you?

Lol I still go to high school, but I am I uni hopeful. And I'll probably only do that crazy thing once anyway since I'll probably feel icky and itchy GL with your studies, both unis are excellent from what I've read and heard :) So either choice is a great one

20/21+ , but I think most post grads are concentrated around the 21-27 range

haha YES!! Should I be running late one morning, I'll just come to uni in the clothes I slept in :) Unhygienic, but I'd love to experience doing that for a day at least

In Australia, UNSW and USYD are in general, looked up to by many employers. I think USYD has better international recognition though. Both are pretty good with your other criteria, but USYD looks quite old, and UNSW is heaven (although it's very naive to have architecture as a criteria. I better...

"Better" meaning superior teaching quality, equipment, study environment (I'm pretty UNSW "beats" the others on that one with their pretty buildings. ) One thing that really lures me toward USYD though is their "Year In Industry" program for Chem majors, is there an equivalent at UNSW? Curious...

^ I don't mean to start any biased comparison 'discussions' (arguments), but isn't USYD/UNSW better for science?

^ Aren't you in year 10? If not, what topics did you do from the y12 3u book? Curious lol, cos we did the 3D Trig bit from there

Yeah it's pretty unfair, especially considering others still got marks

Oh and do economics, it's a great, interesting subject that scales quite well (but aligns badly). I've also found a lot of its concepts applicable to real life, and this really appreciates my interest in it. However it's not necessarily easy (at least for me)

You'd generally have maths twice daily

Okay, it's all good then :) BoardOS are all rounder trolls anyway, so doesn't surprise me.

Visual Design argh, I hate it atm, I should have chosen SLR or SOR 1U as a filler for Y11 instead :( Aside from that, I love all of my subjects :) Although english could be better and economics does take me for a ride

Wow this is new to me. Would economics' aligning disadvantage outweigh its superior scaling?

Oh yes. Eco even scales better than physics (varies from year to year)
