Friendly reminder

338 Upvotes

Hi all,

So it looks like every uni subreddit has been a bit weird recently (the top post on r/usyd right now is something related to femboys).

This is just a PSA to keep things UNSW-related. There was a meme on the front page a day or two ago that was literally just clash of clans, that sort of stuff we're going to remove from now on. Check out the subreddit rules on the wiki for more info.

Also, a reminder that discriminatory/ derogatory posts are never allowed. Same goes for harassment/those creepy posts from people looking to hook up that have popped up recently. Anyone posting this kind of content will be banned without warning. Please report these kinds of posts if you see them so we can remove them as soon as possible.

Enjoy flexi-week,

the r/UNSW mod team

IPT/ Transfer USyd law to UNSW law?

4 Upvotes

I'm thinking of transferring from USyd to UNSW as a law student. I think the quality of education is equivalent, but it seems like the general/social/community experience might be better at UNSW? Additionally, as someone 1) working class 2) interested in public interest law- USyd is really not welcoming :/

Looking for thoughts from people who've done this or who are in the UNSW law cohort 🤔

Also ik that trimesters apparently suck, so really any other thoughts plz 🙏

51M mature age student looking for love (for my son)

24 Upvotes

Hello! My name is Avery and I am mature age student studying computer science. I have a son aged 20 who's also doing computer science in the same university as me (UNSW). We are both flatmates and I have realised that he doesn't get much action. Now he doesn't know that I am setting this up, so I think the best way (if you decide you are interested) is to approach him randomly in the library. Here is an about-him section:

Favourite hobby: Lego (I see him playing with his Legoes all the time)
Favourite TV show: Cobra Kai (he watches it all the time)
Favourite quote: "No you didn't. The fight is only over when you say it is" (John Kreese from cobra kai. He says this quote all the time).
Favourite game: Roblox
Favourite book: (doesn't read)
Favourite drink: Chocolate milkshake at McDonalds.
Status: Single and unemployed

Thanks so much for reading!

Coming into UNSW for T1 2027 and I'm currently tied between UNSW Hall, Colombo House and International House. What would you guys recommend for someone who prioritises a good hall culture and social life?

Also, what do I prepare for the application and what kind of questions should I expect for the interview?

Early Exit vs IPT

2 Upvotes

Doing Adv Sci (Hons), if I choose to IPT to B Sci, some of the credits are different and I have to do some SCIF modules and some units from the employability section since the coursework component isn't a one to one replica between those 2 programs.

If I apply to Early Exit in my final term, can I graduate straight away without doing all the other stuff (provided I completed all course work UOC from Adv Sci)?

UNSWFAC (gym) is a scam

49 Upvotes

UNSWFAC overcharges for our own student and staff and is a pretty shite gym anyway (overcrowded, unsafe and dirty) does not enforce their towel policy and there are usually lines of up to 3 people for some machines. And all this for a price of $21 per week being more expensive than literally every other gym membership (with unswfac having only 1 location). Moreover they charge $200 for the cancellation fee (for the FLEX membership) which is bullshit and an extra $20 for late payments and hiding this underneath their 30 page contract that you cant even read because their website is laggy. The workers are dickheads and dont know what they are doing and would willingly hang up phone calls. All while plastering themselves all over UNSW. I want to start a formal complaint, Please do give me your experiences with them down below

Self-organised summer law internship

1 Upvotes

I need to do a self-organised law internship over the summer and was wondering if anyone on here has done one before? I've done some research on the UNSW website, but would love to hear from people who have done it before as I don't know anyone who has/nor can I find any mention of it on this subreddit. Or if you've done a non-law self-organised internship, I would appreciate your perspective too. Thank you :)

Ok, it's over 1st day back not good

48 Upvotes

Ok subject breakfast is back in unsw. first day didnt go so well.

i got out of the lightrail at anzac parade and first thing that i witness is a 6'6 chad walk past me with 2 girls around his arms. No biggie, subject breakfast experiecnes that all the time. But one thing stood out, it was that he was wearing a usyd hoodie, I thought to myself. Impossible! usyders dont get girls! i asked one of his goons how hes done that and they explained that unsw girls like bad boys that go usyd. it made me really question my enrolment at the number one uni.

so that was a strange experience, then i crossed the road to the mighty entrance of unsw and immediately was barged into by a girl not looking straight. unfortunately my bag was open and my laptop fell out and cracked, i thought this situation could be salvaged since she was beautiful and we could have those movie like scenes but instead she just blurted out "EWW" and thats when i noticed my bottle of orange juice broke and spilt everywhere making it look like i pissed everywhere.

i had to scurry away from the crowd whilst the girl was saying how i assaulted her to the people around her

i took refuge in law library where i then sat down to drink the remainder of the juice and throw out any evidence, but when i sat down i was confronted by 3 big dudes explaining that i just took their spot. I said ill go away but then they noticed i had some orange juice on my pants which looked liked piss and once again i had to run out of the building

i was then late to my lab and just ended up not going. Hows your first day back gang
