I just found out:

2009 Undergraduate fees for BPharm @ USyd have dropped! They are now $6011, dropping from around $7416 last year. Must be becoming more of a national priority, so government contributions have increased.
Good News!
i thought you were talking about DFEE just then XD

so that would be a saving of ~$5600- sweet

Wouldn't that be unfair though since applicants can sit every 6 months? If its true, then it'd be pretty risky to resit the test..

hey, did you put Pharm @ USyd as ur first pref?

DFEE doesn't exist anymore lol

Out of the blue, I just realised that the best way to get to uni, for Pharm students, mainly because most lectures/tutes would be based around central Camperdown campus, is to just walk down Paramatta Road from Central Station for like 10-15 minutes.

If you go to redfern, its 10-15minutes to Darlington campus, plus another 5-10 to heart of Camperdown campus.

they take your highest score

so if u sat the stat 4 times over the 2yr period, they select your best one
pretty much the same with UMAT

haha- i just checked mine

IF i get into pharmacy, i will enrol at
10.30am- 12pm on Wednesday 28th

so does each letter get a different time- my last name starts with W, so does that mean that alll the other letters are on the day & time before me?

STAT is really just a small obstacle to overcome, nothing compared to UMAT

Nah, enrolment is over 3 days.

My last name begins with T, and I'm just before you. So basically we're all slotted in somehow.
They spread everyone out , at different times, so it doesn't become chaos at enrolment.

Hopefully will see you at enrolment ;)

Are you sure? Which takes longer? The walk from Central Station to the Quad (which is mighty long, along with the traffic lights along broadway) or from Redfern?

Well, from having a look at Google Maps, Central MIGHT be a little quicker?

Have you tried walking from Central? How long did it take you?

Well, on Open Day, we walked from the Quad to Central Station. And I think it was a tad longer, considering how long Broadway was, and the amount of people packing into Central Station. And the walk from the Quad to the outside of the campus near Broadway takes about 3-5 mins already. Felt a tad longer than Redfern route.

No probs ;)

I'm also gonna be testing out different routes. I've been thru Redfern twice already. Redfern's a bit annoying with the beggars constantly asking for money...

Would there be a point in catching a bus from Railway Square in Central to USyd? Its less than 2km, isn't it?

It'd be way faster to catch a bus, but it isn't free though aint it?

And I've never encuntered a beggar yet on the route. Just walk on the paths with the pack of students:)

I don't mind walking a fair bit anyway... would be good daily exercise.

Redfern and Central are roughly the same distance from uni. I think Central is a bit further, but you can get mX at Central
And I think a fair few people get the bus to USyd from railway square, but its not a long walk

the distances are pretty much the same either way, if you study pharmacy all your classes will be in the camperdown campus, so redfern->camperdown = ~25 mins or so. central->cameperdown = ~25 mins. also you will proly have to go to the faculty of pharmacy for enrollment which is right next to the quad.

Central is def a longer walk from the uni, it can take up to half an hour. It only takes 20-25min walk to Redfern. There is a thread about this and walking to Redfern in the Usyd forum.
