fitness/health also generally improves mental performance (maybe hardly noticeably) and energy levels - which I personally find really important in uni when you have to actually get yourself up to go rather than know that your teacher will give you detention or something if you don't (like at...

I know so many people who do NO WORK (and I mean I have never ever seen them actually studying or talking about studying, or planning to study, or seeming mildly interested in their course at all), and they still pass. It is possible, particularly in science/arts degrees where you needed to get...

exactly what they said - if you want to, or think you might want to, do a course at uni which will REQUIRE a UAI, and prerequisites in Year 12 English etc (ie. arts, science, engineering etc etc), then it might be necessary to do your year 11 and 12 studies. However, if you are looking for a...

for some different vocab: at Melbourne Uni it's: 80-100: H1 75-79: H2A 70-74: H2B 65-70: H3 50-64: Pass (P) < 50: Fail I don't think there is a particular cut off percentage for conceded passes - I think it is judged on a case by case basis... Also, you might want to think about...

in terms of 'periods' (as in classes at school), the actual times for classes at uni's depends on the subject and the uni. For example, most first year arts subjects have a two one hour lectures (at least at Melbourne Uni) and one one hour tutorial a week. Whereas science has 3 one hour...

no one can chose a course for you and they are all different, so i suggest you just jump on the websites for each uni you are interested in and check out what they have on offer. As a Victorian, and University of Melbourne student I can recommend Arts here (which is what i am doing). You can...

Yes Do a hands-on course if you want to work in a hands-on job, and a writing based course if that's what you are interested in. Media Communications isn't really about learning how to be a film director/actor/camerman etc, it's about learning to be journalist/deal with the media/work in the...

glad to be of service! hope it all goes well :)

There is no undergraduate law degree at the university of melbourne. IF you really want to do law at Melbourne and are willing to get through 3 years of undergraduate study in another field, then you can apply for the Juris Doctor (postgraduate law at MElbourne). This degree is more on par with...

Of course you can get jobs from a BA, and anyone who would like to think that they get jobs instantly from their medicine, law, engineering, commerce degrees etc is kidding themselves - and even more so if they are doing the degree just for the title (see a few pages back discussion about title...

i work at Dan Murphy's Eltham. Is fun! :)

I agree with nerdsforever - aren't there lockers at your schools people? If you are taking everything home for every subject (textbooks and all) every single night, you are doing too much homework! Leave stuff in a locker!

just saw Iron Man last night - absolutely fantastic. Sooo funny, intruiging, suspensful, interesting, fast-paced, intense etc etc etc and downey jr is fantabulous!!! sooo gorgeous!

haha, i know what you mean about the alto-sax. I also play alto, and the worst was when i had to take to school my bag (5 -7 kilos probably) plus my alto sax, plus my hockey bag complete with two sticks, hockey shoes, uniform, drink bottle etc etc etc. Not only did i look like a pack horse, but...

Don't you have lockers at school?? Can't you just take home what you are going to do that night, and only the text books if you need them for the study you are doing that night. What's more, many textbooks come with the whole thing on CD as well (particularly maths) so if you can use that, that...

wait...you take everything home and then back to school again even if you don't use any of it at home??!?!?!? WHY???? (and also, shouldn't you be doing some homework?) That is what lockers are for, and a school that doesn't provide lockers for yr 12 kids isn't worth going to!!!!

The Kite Runner is one of my favourite books! :) Currently reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen and The Weapons detective by Rod Barton. Both good though completely different - Northanger Abbey is your good old Jane Austen romance, The Weapons Detective is about Rod Barton's role as a...

But the current policy isn't really aimed at club/bar/pub goers - its aimed at pre-legal drinking age teens - kids who are 14 getting their parents to buy them slabs of cruisers to take to parties. The biggest problem i see with the scheme is that it only raises prices of cruisers, breezers etc...

honestly, no one cares about stuff like at uni :)

Honestly school isn't like uni at all. At uni we are all adults (mostly) and they can't really tell you what you can and can't wear, there isn't a uniform you have to conform to and so no rules about jewellery or hair colour or anything. So basically, they shouldn't discriminate against you at...
