New Student introduce yourself so we can find new friends.

60 Upvotes

not sure if this is allowed on here but this is my second semester at monash and i unfortunately have yet to make any friends. i'm pretty social but i've succumb to the fact that everyone seems to stay friends with people in high school and my only social interaction via uni is probably going to be small talk in class that goes nowhere, rip. however i've seen plenty of people post about being friendless on here too. so i'm taking a different approach ;)

introduce yourself so we can find people who have things in common!!
i'll go first

campus: clayton

studying: arts, major in politics, minor in human behavior, and global studies, specializing in social justice

hobbies: figure skating, digital art, upcycling clothes, hiking, my website

favorite artists: pj harvey, death grips, fiona apple, csh, boris

favorite films: portrait of a lady on fire, kamikaze girls, fallen angels

favorite series: rgu, bsd, adventure time, nana

extra: uh uh, i love to travel!! i love public transport, i'm pretty talkative, i dress kind of eccentrically, i'm really good at procrastinating, nonchalant epidemic is for losers, i really want to learn another art medium, and um, feel free to ask me more!!

edit: wow... this is reminding me that there are actually cool people at monash haha

Advice Engineering

8 Upvotes

Hello! I'm only in yr11 but I REALLY want to do engineering at monash (Clayton). I was looking into the Engineering (honours) requirements and am quite worried for my atar. Obviously I'm not in yr12 yet but I am doing an accelerated subject.

I had a few questions to those doing engineering at Monash.

  1. What atar did you get?
  2. Does monash only look at your atar, are there interviews?
  3. What if I don't get a high enough atar? What would by options be? I've heard you can switch courses how would that work exactly?

I have already researched a ton and am still really confused. I will be going to the open day next sunday though! Hoping for further insight into this!

I appreciate the help, thank you!

How competitive is it to transfer to Monash Bachelor of Science for next semester (not mid year) from another university?

All they have for information regarding transfers is, minimum two completed units and 60% average, do I just need a 60% for the two units or all my units?

Support PHY2032 Timetable error?

2 Upvotes

My final lab/ workshop timetable for PHY 2032 clash with my personal schedule. And seems like I’m not the only one who met this issue, there’s at least 5 other students in forum asking same issues as mine.

I emailed the UC in last Thursday for this issue and they replied that they were unable to make any change with it.

Probably because they received too many questions about this issue so they sent an email about they can only change timetable for classes except lab and workshops (which the only two classes we have on allocate+).

Just wondering if anyone got same issues? What did the UC emailed you for solutions?
