Yeah that's what I'm thinking... but I'd like to do a double degree. Maybe go into business. I told you I had no idea what to do! I want to go to Usyd or UTS. Macquarie isn't good for what I want to go into and UNSW and UWS would be a nightmare for me to get to.

I'd love to go to the University of Melbourne actually. But I don't know if my parents would be keen on me moving interstate to go to uni...

Did AV at RMIT myself.

Marketing is tops. It's awesome to be studying a subject where watching funny and effective TV ads on youtube is a legitimate form of study :p

bachelor of arts majoring in security, terrorism and counterterrorism doing it by correspondance out of murdoch, started a bachelor of business a few years ago hated it dropped out after first semester and went and travelled and lived overseas.

I'm completing a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education, majoring in in ancient history. I'm at the University of Sydney Camperdown/Darlington campus. I'm going to teach History/Geography.

If I did arts id psych, criminology, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, just stuff like that which Id find interesting. With the intention of doing a JD or honours + masters afterwards. Ive also thought about arts at monash then transferring to arts/law. Or I could probably get into Deakin straight off the bat if I put in a little work in the next 3 weeks. I think right now (literally this instant) thanks to this post/thread im finding motivation to study for my exams next week. :D
but of course I have to check and reply to every unread thread here first :S

Arts is a real degree?? :lol:

Arts is the only real degree. University wasn't originally started as a way to get a better job mate. It was started as a way to develop yourself as a person ](*,)

Anyone know how the enrolment process to Macquarine Uni is? I'll be enrolling as a mature age student and am not sure where to go, there seem to be alot of options..

Im planning on doing a Bachelor of Commerce at either Wollongong or Newcastle. Any recommendations about these unis. Ive got early entry into Wollongong but my missus wants to go to Newey so im still going for the ATAR.

I was just being cheeky lol.
I know university is all about
furthering our cognitive thinking skills ;)

I mean it's not like Arts is a Communications degree anyway :-"

Anyone know what Deakin is like? As in location, size, facilities etc. Also, anyone know what the cost of living is for a student in the surrounding area?

Haha yeah I know mate some of the classifications are a bit worrying :D

this thread is just making me jealous of all you lucky bastards who are finally out of school and having some freedom. Starting from next year, i've still got another 5 years of school ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Trust me on this one mate. I know school sucks and it's hard and feels like it's a waste of time, but do as best as you can whilst at school, and appreciate the time being young.. Cause when you're out, it doesn't get much easier unless your parents are loaded :P

You don't have a clue kid.
High School is where you have the most freedom in all your life.
Where else do you not have to work,Write a few things in a book, have breaks for lunch and recess and if you really don't feel like doing anything just turn up to class and get yelled at a little.
Once you leave you realize that it's the most easiest time you will ever have in life.

This.

I'm in my last year of high school and I actually never want it to end. The last few years are great because you have all the freedom of being an adult, without the responsibilities.

Exactly right CCM4. Enjoy it while it lasts.

+1. I'm kind of upset it's over next Monday:lol:

I guess I that's why I'm, gonna do High School teaching because I like it so much:lol: :lol:

well hopefully then its just year 7 that sucks.
Im not saying school is better than being a full time responsible adult, through my eyes it looks like the best part is when you just leave school, have a gap year and got to uni.

Gotta agree with the others, i finished school this year and i miss it already. Just starting full time work for a year aswell and im over it already. Theres no point having a gap year unless ur gunna work your arse off or go on holidays. Enjoy it while you can, cause i gurantee you'll miss it

Heh trust me again mate, absolutely everyone thinks the same thing when they are in year 7.. But when you finally get out of school, it's not much but a kick in the arse for the next 5 years, unless you are in really favourable circumstances heh.

I'm sure most of the guys that've agreed with what I said above only wish that they had so many people as you do to reinforce it to them, heh. I know I do.

well ive got my eyes set on travelling all over the world. I reckon the last few years of high school will be awesome, and then uni and a gap year.
I'd like to do some backpacking for like half of the gap year, with a few friends

Even on this side of the Tasman 'junior' high is pants, but when you get into high school there is all the freedom with about 1 day a week of actual working time.

University (over here at least) pretty much equates to living in poverty unless your parents are loaded. While you have fun and meet great people it is ultimately a means to an end, and when you hit second and third year you just want it to be over (probably how you feel about school). The most exciting thing for me about being at uni is that my objectives have changed. I no longer want to meet people, get smashed every night and get crazy with as many girls as possible. Instead, I am excited about getting a good job, buying a house, finding a missus, and having kids. It's weird because some of my mates are still where my head was at before and get pretty stroppy when I turn E because I don't really want it, or only have 3 or 4 beers because I have class the next day.

In short, chin up little chief. You'll be surprised how much better things get and how much yourself and the people around you will change over the next few years. Enjoy school while you're there, it's excellent.

Planning to study at Maquarie Uni (SFC train there :P) to do a Bachelor of International Studies and hopefully study in Russia. Will probs combine it with another degree as well.

Why I love Uni, while still getting a credit average. :d

Kudos to you! Passing uni and being rowdy is, for me, like Arabs and Israelis. They can't coexist well at all. It got to the point where I transferred universities just so I picked up my sack and actually started working hard at it.

Well in Vic its second tier, behind UoM and Monash. Then I think RMIT, La Trobe and Deakin are all pretty level. Its a good uni and its my local one.

Depends if youre going to Geelong/Waurn Ponds or Burwood. Burwood isnt too far from the city and its in a nice suburban area. They have housing across the road where they do a lot of sharehousing. Im sure they have campus accomodation too, not sure where though. As far as the Burwood campus is concerned I think its alright. Some people think its really ugly but I have no idea what theyre talking about. The science areas look shit but the law building is nice and new.
