Why dont you study part time the first year at uni, that way you can still work and save money and keep your parents happy by still staying in that whole structured environment, it also means that you wont be finishing heaps later than your friends. First year uni is not that full on (depends on...

My name is Zoe and I am currently doing my honours year at Swinburne University (Victoria). My thesis topic is looking at University Students, stress, coping and well-being and I am running an online survey as part of my research. To participate, you must be a current student at an...

Thanks! Thanks- I will do that! :D

Hi all, I am doing my honours year this year and need International University students to participate in my online survey (I am desperate!): see below! ******************************** My name is Zoe and I am currently doing my honours year at Swinburne University. My thesis topic is...

Im about $20,000 in debt to the good old government (4 year bachelor of applied science/social science and then my honours year this year is about $3600 for the year). Im studying psychology so I still have to do my masters (about $30,000 on PELS) before i can be a registered psych- soooo. Ill...

I am in my fifth year of uni this year and i agree that each semester is a fairly intense 12 week period. Its all about organisation and friends! I study with a friend for exams and we get together and quiz each other all afternoon and you would be amazed at how much you can learn with...

Hey Natstar!! I would love it if you would pass on the survey link to your international student friends. :D :) :D

...hmmm (x2) I know, even if my sample is biased, which apparently every sample is. Well there has been previous research looking at the scales i am using...soooo if i compare it to that and find similar stuff then that is good.... cause it means that my biased sample is like someone else's...

Thanks!! Thanks bluesky!!! I really appreciate it!! If anyone else has friends who are international students I would REALLY appreciate their help!!! Its nice to see a fellow victorian here!! Zoe

Hmm.... thanks for your input guys... I understand that my results may not be generalisable to the complete population of university students. But Im hoping to say, of this sample, who responded to my survey, the stress, coping and health experiences show that..... Although this site is for...

Hi guys, Thanks to all of you who have filled out my online survey on University Students & Stress, I owe you one!!! I was hoping to get a sample of International Students too, who have the extra stressful experience of studying in a completely different country. I am having trouble...

reply to iambored Oh yeah, Iambored. I did a double degree so I did four years undergrad. Then my honours year this year is my fifth year of uni, but it is only counted as my fourth year in psychology so i will take at least 7 years of studying to become registered instead of the minimum 6...

Re: random sampling and psych degrees Hi guys, you are right, no REAL data sample will ever really be normally distributed... I mean by going on a site like this i am already really honing in on the 18-22 age group, but cause im looking at uni students, I would say that most undergrads are...

In regards to people having better job opportunities for doing a B.Psych versus a B. Applied Science etc. Ok. I did a bachelor of Applied Science/Social Science...now i am doing my honours year. There is no difference in what degree you do as long as you have a major in Psychology that is...

Good thought Yes, good thought. This is not my only avenue of data collection. So im hoping that by using different groups or by going through subject co-ordinators too ill get a range of students. Can you think of any other ways??
