Did anyone end up going to o-week this week?

not so far and prolly not

isnt the main stuff on thursday? i remember the first day i went, think it was tuesday, and legit no stalls

Just a question: My qualifying major is Modern History, and my secondary major is International Relations- could an IR unit count as my People unit?

"What are the requirements for those undertaking a single degree with double major?
The requirements for People and Planet units are that both People and Planet have to be from two different faculties, and cannot be a unit listed as part of the student's qualifying major for the award in the Schedule of Majors." link

I mean, I'd submit an enquiry to Ask.mq but I've already sent too many questions, lol. So does anyone here have a double major where one unit is a People / Planet unit? Could I do this?

Also: I went to 0-week today. And there were so many stores and stuff going around. But I don't know what it'll be like on Thursday or Friday

I got 64 in my OUA unit

One off a credit! At least it doesn't count towards my GPA. Global Politics is a fine subject, good for ranting. Anyone got any experience with the philosophy department at MQ? Might take a subject or two this year.

I've heard really postitive things about critical thinking (plus it is a people unit, what more could you want )

Did anyone else get invited to the Banking, Trading and Consulting Careers Fair? Any past attendees been before? Is it worth going?

I've registered for now, but I have a full day of classes that day and I'm not sure I want to attend them all in a suit.

Yea I'm also probably going. If you drive I would just leave the jacket in the car.


tbh its not that weird to wear formal clothes at uni, though it may be uncomfortable if your not used to it and depending on the weather.


I think I have like a class and lecture mid day, so I'm just going to drive and leave my jacket in the car.

Yeah I am also going. I also drive lol. Ima just get changed later although ill miss half of it.

So there is a user sending PMs asking for unit answers in exchange for money.

I'm not going to encourage this behaviour, but remember if your handing over those answers one day you could be hiring or competing for the same job the idiot that bought his way though university, and won't you feel ripped off when they choose him over you, or when your employee is a dud.

Just saying.

Can't buy yourself a job because they'll fire you quicksmart when they realise how dumb you are

I found it useful, and it can be good for networking purposes which could also help with internships/jobs in the future. May also open up your eyes too jobs you haven't thought about before. (I would go if I wasn't busy)

Went to O day today and it was a pretty fun experience. But i feel like I'm going to be so lost on the first day haha. xDD

 

[BenHowe]

Ok thanks for the heads up! Did you wear a full suit btw?


Also, has anyone been involved in the unit rep thing, how time intensive is it and stuff?


Asking because I want to do it but work night for the foreseeable future and pretty much 4-5 days a week so idk how my time management with unis going to go already atm.

I'm not a fan of the new street address names for buildings/places.

:/ Maybe I'll even get lost

.

Pretty sure it was cold enough to wear a full suit when I went but some people didn't have a jacket on, so if its hot don't wear a full suit.
