Well, I'm not sure if she does MX2 - I just saw her in one of the lecture theatres in the afternoon session.

She looked like the girl on the cover of the GUG actually, IIRC.

Parramatta has grass. You might find cars parked on it though.
Actually maybe not this year, they made everyone buy the $250ish Blue permit to park on the (main) South campus.

The lawns are often neglected by the average UWS student so you shouldn't have a problem finding somewhere. There's a rolling hillside behind the Library and Riverbar, right next to the river. I was here once and a bird flew over and dumped one on my open textbook, so I'unno, your call.

SC2 clubs don't exist but you can start up a society if you want, with the Hive student union, they'll even give you money and stuff.

Go to UWS Hawkesbury if you want a grassy place to study

 

[SpaceyKudi]

Depends what course you guys are doing.

Go here: http://handbook.uws.edu.au/hbook/course_search.aspx
Type in your course, press the 'Commencing in 2011' if you're new and select your campus of choice.

For example, Bachelor of Business and Commerce / Bachelor of Laws - http://handbook.uws.edu.au/hbook/course.aspx?course=2740.4
The course code is 2740, but the .4 is for the 2011 intake.

Next, have a look at what 'Key Program' you're doing (another term for your MAJOR).

Say I want to do Management as my Key Program, so;

Bachelor of Business and Commerce (Management)/Bachelor of Laws
Year 1
Autumn session
200006.1 Introduction to Law
200008.1 Torts Law
200101.2 Accounting Information for Managers
200336.2 Business Academic Skills
Spring session
200007.1 Law Foundation
200010.1 Criminal Law
Choose two of
200083.1 Marketing Principles
200525.1 Principles of Economics
200571.1 Management Dynamics


So see what units you have to do in the Autumn semester of Year 1.
As seen above, there's 4 in particular.
200006.1 Introduction to Law
200008.1 Torts Law
200101.2 Accounting Information for Managers
200336.2 Business Academic Skills

Next to the subject's name is the course code, which is what you'll need to search for the timetable for that course.
Here; http://platformweb.uws.edu.au/pweb_tt/start.asp

When you view the timetable for each unit, you can choose Campus, Day/Night sessions, etc.
You'll get to see when the classes run for that subject and then you can start planning what you want.

Excel or Windows Calendar helps with this. There's no automatic timetabling system, you literately look up the times of the 4 subjects you do and pick ones that don't clash.
WARNING: Call up your school to clarify if the timetables are the latest version, or when the latest version will be.

Now, if you have the planned timetable you want, you'll need to go get those times!
Tutorial Registrations depend on the Faculty which the unit is in,
Information can be found here: http://www.uws.edu.au/currentstuden...ng_your_study/enrolment/tutorial_registration

So, yes, since the example has two Law units, you'll need to be quick enough to get your desired spots for both of the Law units as they will open up at the same time.



But it'll all be explained to you on Orientation/Academic Advising.
This is just a quick crash course, I can try and assist with specific questions if needed.

Thanks so much Astroe. Your help is greatly appreciated.
You know with tutorial registrations, I was wondering...am I registering for tutorials in Spring as well as Autumn? Cause so far, I've been so busy planning my Autumn timetable to fit in around work commitments.
Would it be good to have 7 hours of classes in a day, 2hrs another day and 3 hours another day OR should I leave it at 4,5,3 hrs for the three days? Would 7 hours be overkill?

 

[astroe]

You only need to do the timetable for the semester you are about to begin, so Autumn only.
7 hours one day is a bit overkill. I kept my timetable to 3 days as it seemed balanced.
Try to keep things as even as possible, the 7 hour block is bad because if you're sick and miss uni, you're screwed. LOL.

Try to make the same subject on one day, like the lecture and tute for a subject on one day, with like an hour gap or something. Oh, remember, Lectures FIRST then Tutorials.
Other way around will mean you're doing exercises to revise on something.. you'll learn in the future?

Catch my drift? Good. 4, 5, 3 is good. Have gap though, you get time to relax/socialise and stuff.

But in my experience tutes revise the lecture material of the previous week.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

An SC2 club would almost maybe possibly even be better than a pokemans club tbh.

 

[zombie omie jay]

Well, I know where I'm going to uni!
Also, I want to marry the pic in your sig, except they're brothers so, it's kinda weird...

UWS Parramatta has a lot of grass, in exchange for the lack of a upgraded carpark

If only...

 

[uac.aplcnt]

that just depends..people can decide to just catch public transport..or students - we do have the new Transit way bus which goes from livo to parra in under 45-50 mins

 

[slyhunter]

It takes an hour through my experience.

 

[uac.aplcnt]

That depends on how many people there are..usually early in the morning and at night time its really quick..sometimes it takes 40 mins even if the bus drivers crazy..haha
