Yes....I don't do them...If I did, I would only have negative things to say...so I refrain from doing them.

Try an isolated cubicle then. I would suggest searching for the top level of the Mathews Building, somewhere in the Scientia or maybe even a nice dunny in that fancy black box type building near the Physics Lawn.

Having said as much, I remember that the law loos were pretty fancy when they were first built, even if I did discover an orange, whipped cheese styled surprise there one day.

on a brighter note;
the CLB toilets are filthy as. i try to avoid doing my business there whenever i can.

the best toilets i've come accross would be the toilets in the quad (not the food court, but the ones u find near the tute rooms)

majority of the time, they're clean and it's hardly ever occupied. lol

Interesting toilet discussion... please continue...
the law building is so new and shiny yet they seem to have extremely shabby, abrasive, low quality 1-ply toilet paper

try the toilets in the analytic centre or whatever they call it these days. I imagine they're pretty spiffy.

Going up the main steps, turn into the scientia building / ritchie theatre through the sliding glass doors on your left. Toilets are to the right. Classy! Nice expensive black tiles, wood panelling, pricey fixtures etc. A++ would use again!

So is the 12 week semester going to be a permanent thing? Any chance of it going back to the 14 weeks next year if too many people complain about it?

You do realise that it probably won't change any time soon.

It doesn't really matter if people complain about it or not. Millions of dollars were lost.

UNSWasia was a massive failure, also factor in VSU.....so in the end, the students end up being hit with the bill. :(

I dunno about how VSU affected the uni's stream of income for academic stuff, although it definitely hit the clubs and societies
I was just thinking about the new secondary transcript that they have introduced this year, where they are going to list your ECA's( extra curriculars)

This includes sporting achievements, scholarships, and a lot of volunteering via ARC.

I'm not too sure about how things went down last year but this year, you actually have to pay like $149+ to join ARC just so that you can volunteer as an ARC receptionist, yellow shirt, hypesmith, shack tutor...etc so that you can have it all appear on your official UNSW secondary testamur.

Oh well, it looks like I'm just going to have to deal with this. I'm currently looking at a $380 membership for 3 years.

Was it always like this?
