B Commerce (Actuarial Studies)/B Arts (Chinese Studies)

Likes:
- Campus life; lots of clubs and societies
- Teaching experience (in general, most subjects like Maths, Accounting, Finance and Economics have good teaching, others like Actuarial aren't that great)
- People in general; they tend to be quite nice and not pretentious

Dislikes:
- Distance; it's a bit far but that's not a big factor into the uni rating overall
- Inconsistency of teaching; not too much of a problem since most tutors are generally good
- The fact that UNSW is turning to another Westfield (I do acknowledge that uni's are here to make money, but seriously... :/)

That seems great. More strengths than there are weaknesses. :)

What is the percentage of domestic and international students in UNSW? :)

I liked those tents.

You walked out onto the field and it was like... a post-apocalyptic waste land. Eerie. But so, so cool.

Arc is seriously worst than the third reich.


Also after three years I don't break a single sweat going up those stairs nowadays.
