Amazon's probably good, but because the majority of books are American-based, the shipping time is just mind boggling! Wtf Jago, hahah in science courses, edition changes aren't that enforced. Though it does get annoying since lecture notes refer to pages of the latest editions or the OLDEST...

Oops its Fitness & Health. Sorry haha I thought it was Medicine's Bioethics. Yup it literally is for bioethics, sort of talked to the lecturer about this since I wanted to confirm my ranking etc. @Miliux: I always wanted to go overseas and stuff i.e. Japan (same as Shinji), but the thing is...

LOL Don't even bother driving. Most of the streets round UNSW are on time limits. And YES there are inspectors who check vehicles. I'm not sure if any of the first year Uni students know, but you can also buy Travel Tens from City Rail (at the windows) not the machines. Just show them your...

I'd personally recommend people who can't use their passports + drivers licence to bring in all other available ID. This way the FM staff can do a 100 point check if needed. So...on that day, be sure to bring in all your ID (Medicare cards, HCF, School Cards, even Birth Certificate if you...

Wow...Commerce courses sure know how to rip students off. 150 is really pushing it.

Hey Casmira do you just talk to the dudes to see if you can work there? Darn its much better and easier than doing tutor positions in courses. Damn how come my Summer results aren't out yet!! Some new term: LE. Really...what difference is that to WD or WC? Also this is for that GENE7801...

Holly moly...Mitsui how many books are there??!?:jaw:

Hi Everyone (In particular Science-based 1st Year students), ASSOC a society for all science-based students will be running a free BBQ on the Physics Lawn (This is real close to E-Spot in lower Campus) from 1pm - 2pm on Wednesday - 5/3/08 during O-Week. It will be right after your Faculty of...

Lol its amazing how those damn CityRail officers can actually recognise the photo of the UNSW ID to the actual person. A couple of Singaporean friends swapped their ID cards to test this theory when the officers came on the bus, and the dude was like, yup no problems here. :rofl:

ROFL. Okay if you have a look at your O-week timetable (should be mailed to you as part of enrolment) otherwise check O-week website, each day offers a faculty welcome for students. i.e. Monday for Commerce, Tuesday for Law, Wednesday for Medicine, Thursday for Science, and so on. If you're...

Haha I might have to correct this also. If you're in for the money, Science isn't a great choice (unless you find the cure to AIDS or Cancer). Same for Medicine. All if not most medical students apply for this profession purely on their interests and wants to help the community, etc. Yes you...

Unless if you're planning on heading UNSW's form of 7-11 convenience shops and buying your daily goods like toothpaste, water, or other drinks everyday...don't bother! Back in 05/06 we had the Discount card, but it was ever only used to buy water. And like most of us bring water into uni...

That F'ing happened to me as well!! I was heading onto an M2 bus back to the Hills area, and this new driver I've never seen before, says to me. "Hey is that concession sticker on your UNSW card fake?" *He then rubs his thumb onto the card, hoping it'll rub off* Idiot... God I was about to...

No need to rush ;) You can grab it anytime, it's best to do it during the semester i.e. 1 or 2 weeks after University has commenced. I know it's a great itching feeling to get it during O-Week but you'll be lining up with sooo many people! Also there used to be a union card where it gave us...

Lol Casmira don't confuse these poor sods!! :eek: Summer Semester is basically the End of Semester 2 (Google UNSW Key dates 2008), so equivalent to Early December. Enrolment to Summer Semester courses open during late October (an official date will be labelled at the Key Dates site closer to...

Enrol first, you can always change later. You can change your courses anywhere until 6 weeks into the session. Though since you're asking this Nadine, it must be because you're still unsure of what courses to enrol in, or what major/minor stream you wish to do. My best course of...

If you can. Enrol as early as possible, 1st year timetables fill up awesomely quick. You definitely don't want a bad timetable, because you'll be stuck with it for 12 weeks.

Don't rely on the computers in the library, whenever its peak time, it gets jam-packed. Best to go to your faculty's computer area. For Faculty of Science (Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics) Its GO7 or GO8 (Card Access only) Yes, lol science is much more poor-er than Medicine, so we're...

Hahah its about time they moved e-spot up to Mathews, saves me the trouble of walking down to lower campus just for the darn card. ID cards are always free, and unless if you need to gain access to door swipes, you pretty much don't need it. For simple directions. Find the Pavillions, walk...

If you live in rural areas, I'd recommend that you don't go, unless if you have ALOT of issues (academic) to discuss. Otherwise UNSW has an Enrolment Enquiries number: 9385 1110 Otherwise, it really is a waste of time. During O-Week, DO not go and queue for your ID card (U can get it...
