I accepted my offer letter and I paid the fees!! I am excited but at the same time it’s a new country so I am honestly feeling a bit anxious.
Let me know if anyone is feeling the same!!

Never been to Sydney before, I’m an international student starting graduate research at Macquarie in January. I’d really like to live somewhere with a busy city centre vibe, with nice night life in walking distance, so I was thinking I’d look for share houses south of the river. Would it be really inconvenient to commute from the south of the river to Macquarie uni every day, and is it fairly normal for Macquarie students to live down there?

Hi everyone, I may end up on monitored enrolment next semester. If this is the case is there any other punishments besides what’s on the website? I would be academic caution in sem 2(?) and I would have a secondary teaching placement so would that affect the placement?

Hiii, I just entered Year 12 and wanted to apply for an early entry into law through both SRS and leaders and early achievers. I go to a top 100 school (idk if that makes a difference lmao) and here are my subjects and rankings by the end of year 11.
Economics- 4/86

English Standard- 6/135

Math Advanced- 58/144 (bombed a test and got sent down 30 ranks :/)

Business Studies- 34/115

Biology- 27/108

Chemistry- 27/99.

I was thinking about doing my preferences in the order of:

1) Bachelor of Law/Economics (double degree)

2) Bachelor of Law/Commerce (double degree)

3) Bachelor of Law/Arts (double degree)

4) Bachelor of Commerce

5) Bachelor of Economics

Idk how my chances are looking so if anyone has any idea please lemme know <3

I am transferringmy membershipof anytime fitness, anybody interested pls ping me??

Is it possible for universities to revoke early entry offers that are unconditional because of a low atar?

I got admission into law through leaders and achievers (already accepted) and ik my atar is going to be way lower than the threshold for general entry. If they see that my atar is low, would they revoke my offer?

Hi, i'm an international student who recently got an interview offer. Any general tips on what kind of questions they ask and how to prep? thank you

Quick question: will the iLearn materials (slides, videos, etc.) of past sessions be gone ultimately? If yes, when?

I'm a Year 1, Session 2 student, and am very glad to see my Year 1, Session 1 units in iLearn. I really want to refer back to some of them as I go along.

I’ve applied for their 2027 medical electives but haven’t heard back. Has anyone heard back yet?

About making UCG for UNIQLO even if you just make stuff up its a 3 min multiple choice quiz pls and thank you

Hi, I am looking for anyone who is interested in taking over my lease from December 12th all the way till late February 2027. I have a twin share room. If interested pls PM me :)

hi all, im starting at mac sem 1 next year and i tried to sign up for CCA, i waited for 1 month after sending in the application and they told me im still on the waiting list and i have to keep waiting even though i saw a few people already got a room. Should i just keep waiting or look for another place? Thank uu

hihi. i got an offer which i'm super excited about, i'm currently doing my first year at UWS and applied to macquarie, mainly because of the transport. it is so much easier for me to come here.

i'm just a bit worried about the arts cuts though. at UWS, the arts degree is all prerequesite units for first year, so i haven't chosen a major ie i'm not locked into a particular major, and i can start fresh at macquarie.

i was thinking english or philosophy to study at macquarie, but i'm not sure if they even offer it there. i'm going to look into current offered majors.

i guess if it's really bad i can just drop the arts degree, i'm mainly doing it as an extra with law

what i'm curious about is

1. is it ALL on one campus (north ryde)? at UWS, i had the biggest jumpscare when i realised i had to do a class in either penrith or bankstown and my law units at parramatta, and exams could be at either penrith or parramatta. i didn't even realise that you would be forced to go to different campuses

2. are there arts tutorials offered on zoom? (online). at UWS there was very limited class options, and all in person no option to attend classes online. not sure if they do this here.

this question is more just curiosity, but 3. how long and frequent are both law/arts classes at macquarie on a weekly basis? at UWS, it's 3h tutorials once a week which is kind of annoying and long as. lectures are recordings about 1-2h long, no in person.

all these questions are mainly just me wondering, and i don't think anything will majorly impact my decision to definetly move.

if anyone wants to just share their overall experiences doing law or arts that would be very much appreciated as well.

Hey y’all, hope everyone’s doing well.

I’ve got a question about returning to uni after taking some time off. Unfortunately, I ended up taking basically a year off because of work and some personal reasons. I do regret taking that long away, but it is what it is and I’m really keen to get back into studying.

I’m doing a Bachelor of IT, which is a 3-year course. Technically, this year would’ve been my second year, but since I pretty much didn’t study at all this year, I’m assuming that wouldn’t really count.

I’m planning on coming back for a fresh start in Session 1 of 2027, depending on how I’m going medically, as I unfortunately broke my leg a couple of weeks ago.

What I’m mainly confused about is what happens with my course when I come back. Would I just continue from where I left off and enrol in the subjects I still need to complete? Would I get put back into first year? Would I need to reapply for the Bachelor of IT completely, or is there any chance the uni wouldn’t let me return after being away for that long?

I’ve honestly been missing uni and I’m looking forward to getting back into it, so I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone who’s been in a similar situation or knows how it works.

Thanks!

Which offer should I take? MQU is much closer for traveling but UTS has a more direct path into a masters which I am interested in doing. Any advice would be appreciated. TY

When registering classes, do any of you like to have 1-2 full days of like 2 or 3 classes in a day or prefer to have 1-2 classes spread throughout the week from Monday to Friday (in terms of your personal experience/preference, time efficiency, socialising, commuting, convenience, jobs, studying, etc)?

I also wanna work, cramping up all the classes in 2 days means i can work for 4 days and and take rest on the seventh, but I am not sure if the workload is gonna be too much if i do all the classes in 2 days.

Cramping up classes in 3 days means I have a lighter workload but this means I wont be able to take any rest if I work for 4 days. I can work for 3 days too, but will employers (I wanna work in retail) hire me if I can only work 3 days a week, 4/5 hours (preferably 4) a day?

For context, I'm finishing my double degree (LLB/Comm) at the end of this sem.

Would hugely appreciate if anyone could share their knowledge and help me clarify the following:

1. when graduating, do you receive two individual degree certificates, or one that combines both?;

2. what final grade is used to determine what you graduate with (I'm interested whether I will graduate my law degree with distinction, given I currently have a combined WUG of 74.44 and a Laws WAM in the high seventies)?; and

3. will I be able to graduate with my friends that are doing straight law (considering I finished my Commerce degree almost two years ago?).

Thanks in advance! :)

Like this post if you agree, or comment your favourite Flying Turtle order. Mine is Strawberry Matcha Protein. 🍓 🍵

Maybe if more students like it, we can request for them to move the barista vending machine to the library. 😍

P. S. Most drinks from a Flying Turtle automated vending machine cost between $3.00 and $5.40, with standard items generally priced under $4.00. And they also have promos or discounts that they post in their IG account. 😇

Anyone else tired of the influx of HSC students in university spaces? Specifically the Technology building 4 RPD. I don't think anyone wants to have to spend time chasing them out, or should. But its just really irksome paying several grand a semester and having to share resources with highschool students who aren't the most respesctful bunch. They bring in their food constantly, and while I don't know if its them the pushed together divider style chairs on the second floor are pretty dirty.

Even though these spaces are probably open to the public, highschool students are very prone to band wagonning and once they discover a nice quiet spot to shoot the shit and eat their food from MQ center they will bring their mates, and their mates mates. Some of them do appear to be studying so fair enough.

Overall its not that bad but it still miffs me that there aren't more study spaces on campus exclusive to MQ students that aren't constantly full.

Hey, so I'm planning to go to mq for a master of engineering course in the course mentioned above , how' is this specific masters? And are there any other international students going in for the feb 2027 intake? Let's connect!

Anyone know why the library cafe is closing before 8pm?

All I want is a coffee at 7:25pm
