    UNSW Library VS. Usyd Library

    Usyd is definately better. if you have a habit like i do of leaving assignments late its definately worth having a usyd library card or even if you don't leave them late at least you get a variety of books. I think its about $50 a year to get a usyd library card or do a subject their and you...

    Syd vs. NSW

    I only do 1 subject at uSyd so its not like i have an even share at each uni but: - I like the way the UNSW campus is spread out. There are no cars driving around and its easier to get around. Its a lot more fiddly to get around Usyd. - Usyd does have the better library but depending on...

    Italian scaled down..

    Language scaling is affected by the people who do the subject and already speak the language. There are a lot of people who do Italian that are Italian so they think that they don't have to study much. If these people studied a lot and got truly exemplary marks then the scaling would be...

    Oceans 12

    I enjoyed it. it was just a fun movie and the cast obviously had fun making it. No way could it be as good as the 1st one but it was fun. Stop being so demanding in what you see in a movie ppl!

    What is the biggest age gap of a relationship youve been in?

    4 years. It didn't really make a difference but its awkward when you are younger than their younger brother and sister. And that they are finishing their degree and you are finishing your first year.

    Anyone thinking about international studies?

    I didn't mind the EURO core. Its all really good background stuff to know but it gets a bit drawn out in second session. You do 6 weeks on Germany, 4 weeks on Eastern Europe and 4 weeks on European Integration each session and first session is 1945-1989 and second session in 1989 to now so it...

    to late to apply for college

    Apply by all means but explain why you are applying late. A lot of places aren't filled until a couple of weeks before you move in because ppl accept places but then don't get into the uni or change their mind or whatever. Warrane is an interesting place. Very religious so be prepared for that.

    Accommodation Interviews

    its not bad having to do a separate reference because its handwritten and they get more out of it. I had one of my college's academic tutors quote what my principal had written to me and i think that probably made a lot of difference when it came to getting in. In the interview be...

    stupid things i do!

    another easier way to do accents: press CTRL + ' then the vowel you want. Use the ` for italian (in the left hand corner of your keyboard below the ~) Use the ' for spanish. (same key as ") press CTRL + shift + `(~) then n for spanish I think this only work in word though
