Personally O week was kinda useless minus the free stuff in terms of anything substantial being gained.
Its definitely worth it though for getting familiar with the general layout (I'd never visited MQ before), other first year students (i met a lot of people at O week I knew beforehand), a general overview of societies and of course, the free shit.
Also, I didn't actually know this till like SEM 2 because even though I registered for societies online, I never visited an event last year. but you actually get these stickers on your id card for societies, so if theres free societies you'd consider joining I'd just join them.
The best free stuff I got was from the commbank stall which were these indomie mi goreng packets, had never tried them before and absolutely love it now
Yea I have done STAT150 and the friends i selected classes with also have done it, so it may be a prerequisite. That being said, that unit is fairly easy, even though for some reason difficulty of statistics based courses is really hyped up (maybe the ones that Actuary students do are harder - and I mean in general not for MQ).
It's not even math heavy, its more conceptual and honestly you dont even need to understand the concepts if its run like 2017. You basically get a sheet where you can literally write everything that can be tested in a guide and you will do great.
Mate actuarial is better at mq plus mq closer nty unsw and I got a hd avg. Also mq isn't a g8 uni so that's why the credit transfer doesn't work out...
If you guys need any help with any finance/acst lemme know that way when I have to write an essay you guys can help me out
I didnt say it to anyone in particular. Just throwing it out there because a lot of commerce students aspire to transfer or wish they went to UNSW.
