University Life - your perspective?

Hey, I'm starting b.com at Deakin this year too!

Which Campus? coz i am goin Deakin too

[riggaP]

i guess that means no more bludging and less skyline time lol  

You dont know how wrong you are!! Some people find getting up at the crack of noon hard but not me! Uni life is good life.

One piece of advice that I've found thru experience is workout if the course is right for you early. Many of my friends went into courses because they wanted to have a particular title, they knew there was money at the end of it, or the course name sounded good. Eg a mates sister wanted to do Aviation coz "It sounds fun". Her problem was she hated physics and maths. She then wondered why she couldnt find the motivation to do the work and hence kept failing. Another friend started 2 uni degrees, a tafe course and dropped out of all 3. He is now doing Mech Eng and averaging 92% and aiming for 1st Class honours. Something to think about.

Anyways, Have Fun!

Compared to year 12 uni is sooo easy. Just be smart and do a little work and you'll pass everything. I hardly do any uni work, work at a bar 3 times a week and do an Arts/Mech eng double degree and havent failed anything yet in 3 years, not even come close.

And you can have mini SAU meets at uni, thats what we've done at monash.

[Jamezilla]

Uni was fun.

Some work... but not much. Not compared to the real world anyway...

Enjoy it while you can

Engineering - E'Week Beer-lympics were a highlight.

You'll drink a lot.

Well your uni life is 10 times easier by not going to F*CKING RMIT IN THE CITY!!! THE SHITTEST UNI TO EVER GRACE THE FAIR LAND OF MELBOURNE!! ahhh..... So yeah. ...

I'm doing Bachelor of Design (Multimedia Systems) - Sounds swanky, it's shit. Basically i'm just using this post as an outlet for my uni frustration so i better bring it back on topic. As GTR-R34 said, grab yourself some friends if u don't already know anyone in the course. I was lucky/unlucky in a way in that i started my course with 2 guys from school who i'd been friends with for yonks. But doing a computer type course, trying to socialise with ppl is hard. Can't seem to find the time to leave their computers!!! Anyways, Melbourne def has more of a "campus" feel than RMIT institute for the retards. So i think socially you shouldn't have anything to worry about at Melb. And like the other said, don't worry about the work. Nothing compared to yr 12.

Oh.. also, this is uni so if one of your tutors/lecturers/whatever is shit, tell them they are shit. You're not going to get a detention. Half my people couldn't a) speak english B) teach c) both. It's very satisfying to tell teacher-type people exactly what you think about their inability to teach

So far for me, uni hasn't been anything special, and really, no great difference from school. And i guess i'm one of the few who won't look back on it as the "greatest time of their life"

cheers.

EDIT: I'm waiting for Smallville to d/l so i thought i'd make that post hella long. Oh.. and Kristin Kruek is HOT!!

I think Uni goer's are bums and have no right to bitch.

Adz- " Look at the hollidays and time you get all this time off and the social life"

Uni goer - "Yeah but we get assignments and i spend all my time on them and blah stress blah exams blah blah"

Adz- "Bull Sh*t, You have no set wake up time on your LONG time off, you DONT have to drive to work every morning in peak hour traffic and you dont have to deal with customers every day so quit your f*cking bitching!"

Hehehe my 2c

PS - Oh yeah RMIT is the biggest hell hole waste of space in the UNIVERSE!!!!!

[riggaP]

Spot on Adz. Uni students often forget that school is only busy for about 2 months a year.... I love it

Hey, being a uni student myself i think i have to rebut your argument there adz.

Most uni students work as well, im working 1 full time job at the moment over summer plus my usual 15 hour a week casual job. Ive only had 2 weeks holiday, if u can count working 15 hours a week a holiday.

Also, having a fulltime job is pretty cruisy if u have one of those jobs where you just drop everything at 5pm and go home. Your weekend is yours, after work you never have homework, its pretty easy.

But i do agree that dealing with customers is worse than uni. Exspecially working at a resturant and having to explain to a pregnant lady why there is a little sharp piece of plastic in her caesar salad.

i rekon its so much easier walking into a job each day knowing what needs to be done just doing it then going home and FORGETTING about it all... like who cares if u had a **** customer for the day, big deal, what about if u got a **** assignment

BUT i rekon everything is as bad as each other, unis got its ups n downs, so does working, lifes a bitch, dig it!

[prae]

waahh

uni sounds so fun but i've just started yr12 this year

1 year to go

[adznight]

Yeah ok goog point but then again I guess it all depends on what type of work you do hey. Oh and assignments dont bit your head off and hassel you on mobile on the weekends do they. Some people dont have the lessuire of "forgetting" about work when they go home because all that work you forgot about its there when u head back. But meh, Work can be good and bad, same as uni. I say they both suck, lets just party!

[Jamezilla]

Waah Waah - uni is hard. Boo hoo - I have homework.

We all had to work summer jobs and then part-time semester jobs when at uni - you're not the first. Uni is a blast. You'll meet great people, drink heaps of beer, sleep with some great chicks - enjoy it!

Make the most of it now - the real world is not the 'leave at 5, never on weekends' utopia some make it out to be. Hell - I'm at work right now

And despite popular theory - I don't spend ALL my time whoring forums
