congrats everyone who got into a college definately the most fun is had at baxter. Daedalus, baxter is the best for lanning, though none of the colleges are very good for it. And yes, all the colleges are networked to each other (including even new, shalom, warrane by ip). Don't worry about...

internet is expensive, you pay by the Mb. I think its 18c/meg at New but you start with 130 or so free. At Baxter its 15c/meg but you don't get any to start with. I am pretty sure you can have TVs at New, Warrane is very different (eg no locks on doors).

Baxter. Which, of course, is the best :) but they are all pretty good

college i live at college at UNSW and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone... its a very easy lifestyle.. rooms are big enough, food is decent (i rekon), great for meeting people etc etc etc

great at english not as in HSC english analyse text BS, great at english as in can write fast, coherently and precisely.

essays if you choose geography over chemistry, understand you will have to be very good at writing a lot fast. 3 essays in the exam means you have to be great at english and have fast handwriting (start practisng early)

i've been advised its a good idea to do electrical rather than telecomm unless you're sure.. because its easy to transfer from electrical to telecom, and you'll have a better idea of what you want to do after a few years of uni. It leaves more options open and isn't a disadvantage

ah, english... I'm also a student who did very well at english but hated every moment of it. I wasn't around for the 'old' HSC so i'm in no position to comment on it or take part in the poll! However, i may as well give my opinion of the english course as it is at the moment, its always...

i half agree with you... yeah it does make it feel like a whole lot of work came to be worth nothing. But they're never going to examine everything in the course in 3hrs so thats always going to be the case.. and yes its bad because you start getting into the realm of differentiation between...

are they?.. i didn't know well noone else seems to have any ideas anyway its too late to plan an essay now so good luck everyone :)

oh yea.. its similar to the 2001 specimen exam question... i still think it will be on management

here are my tips for the geog extended responses: Ecosystems at risk: comparing a management strategy from one of your case studies to one evident in an ecosystem in the stimulus booklet Urban places: challenges of living in megacities and responses People and economic activity...

i heard that pencil thing happens all the time in china cos exams are so high-stress there....

Ozz^E has good advice if all that matters to you is getting a UAI about 99... that is, choose your subjects around what scales well, what will get you over the line. I think this is a very bad way to go about year 12 tho. You should choose the subjects you want to do, and do you best in them. If...

yeah its not all that good... 95% of it is these massive set of excercises which might be good if u did them, but look like they take so f'in long i doubt anyone has ever done them. It does have a few decent summaries... like the one for people and economic activity it provides a good 1-page...

wasn't it just differentiation and stat points with a heap of x's and b's?

..it seemed pretty good to me...

yeah i thought it was pretty good... WW1 was nice, indochina was pretty sweet, speer was no probs... i think i screwed up the germany one tho, prolly should've answered the other question i'm so glad to get the essay-writing ones out of the way tho.. now onto some real subjects :o

well thats pretty good if u only spend 2:30 on it... i used every last minute and got 85%

i agree the course is too big... our class made the mistake of spending way too much time on WW1.. when really you can only use your own knowledge for about 10 marks in the paper. Then we spent most of the rest of the time on Germany, and now we're trying to cram in Spear and Indochina in at the...
