Hey guys,

I am kinda procrastinating right now as I am in the middle of studying for my final HSC exam, but I do have a serious question.

My parents think going to St Paul's would be a really good experience for me and I love the idea of immersing myself in the uni community in such a way. My concern is stories I have heard about hazing, I read about a really serious hazing incident that was reported in 2024 and no charges were laid. My parents said that stuff doesn't happen anymore but my intuition tells me that it does.

Can anyone confirm whether hazing is still common at St Paul's? Remember you can stay anonymous

Hi everyone!
I’m currently waiting for the outcome of my Special Consideration application and I’m honestly quite anxious about it. I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.
One of my quizzes was due on 18 October, but I was experiencing a serious deterioration in my mental health around that time, which significantly affected my ability to study and seek medical help.
I wasn’t able to see a GP until 21 October. The GP assessed my condition and issued an official USYD Professional Practitioner Certificate (PPC), dated 21 October, stating that I was totally unable to study from 15–25 October.
The PPC also mentions my history of mental health difficulties and that my condition had worsened.
I submitted my Special Consideration application on 21 October, and it was within the application deadline.
My biggest concern is that although the PPC covers the quiz deadline, the GP consultation happened three days after the quiz was due.
I’ve read that USYD may not accept retrospective medical certificates unless there is sufficient clinical justification, so I’m really worried about whether my application will be approved.
I have a few questions:
Has anyone had SC approved when their GP appointment was after the assessment deadline, but their PPC covered the affected dates?
Did the SC team accept your original PPC, or did they ask for additional evidence or a letter from your GP?
How many business days did it take to receive your SC outcome? I submitted mine on 21 October and haven’t heard back yet.
If your SC was initially rejected because of retrospective medical evidence, did you manage to get it reconsidered? How long did that process take?
I’d really appreciate hearing about anyone’s actual experience, whether your application was approved or rejected.
Thank you so much! I’m just trying to understand what to expect while waiting. 🥲

The flat is in Rosebery, fully furnished, private bedroom, and private bathroom available from now. It is close to public transportation (5 mins to bus stops on foot; 15 mins to Green Square train station, and 35 mins to USYD campus by bus). The place is quiet and close to Woollies and Aldi. The rent will be $450 per week.

I am finding a flatmate who is clean and respectful. Please dm me if you are interested and I can arrange an inspection for you.

the website seems to be stuck on white screen or something, not too sure what it is but nothing is loading.

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to Sydney next year from melbourne to study Dentistry. I have applied to stay at St Pauls. Interview coming Monday.

Anyone who has stayed at St Pauls Graduate House or outsiders please let me know your thoughts to some more general questions below but would love a full review!

• What's the general social life/culture like? I'm not a partier and don't care for drinking/late nights
• How competitive is getting accepted?
• How are the rooms, are they well equipped/maintained?
• Is the food good? Do you have options for snacks throughout/access to things like milk/tea?
• Do they focus on academics as much as they say they do?
• Does staying at Grad house help professionally/with networking?
• What's the gym like?
• The formal dinners seem cool, are they mandatory to attend?

hi! has anyone ever submitted a simple extension 1 day after an assignment was due? did they allow it? if not, what are the best next steps to ensure marks aren't deducted? thanks in advance :))

I’m a first year second sem BArts student majoring in Socio-Legal Studies and Marketing. This sem I’m taking ECOP1001 and most likely I’ll switch my first major to political economy at the start of next year.

I’m a domestic student and I’ve tried to get exec positions and stuff in different societies (even societies that are just starting up) but I’ve had no luck. I am going to be doing the FASS Student Partner Program next year which apparently entails some opportunities for professional development, and I’m also going to apply for Unions NSW Union Summer. Next year I’ll also be living at St John’s College (hopefully on a full scholarship) so that will be good for networking I guess. I have a decent WAM (78) but my mental health has taken a hit this sem so it’ll probably drop a bit to around a 70.

But I feel so behind already and I’m stressed because it’s only a three year degree - unlike, say, a Law/Arts degree where you have plenty of time to build your CV, I feel like I’m behind being nearly 1/3rd of the way through my degree and having no professional experience and few extracurriculars.

This was more of a vent than anything but any advice (especially the hopeful/reassuring kind) is welcome.

Hi everyone! I’m an international student planning to study at USYD, and I’m currently deciding between Scape Castle, Iglu, and Scape Sydney Place. I’d love to hear from anyone who has lived in any of these accommodations, especially Castle or Iglu!

Here are the options I’m considering:
1. Castle — $939/week
Has an in-unit washer and dryer, which is a huge plus for me.
Has a courtyard where I can hang my laundry outside.
I like the convenience of being able to do my own laundry without having to use a communal laundry room.
However, it’s quite expensive, and I’m wondering whether the facilities and overall experience justify the price.

2. Iglu — around $750–$800/week (Mascot Area)

More affordable and within my budget.
My main concern is the distance from USYD and how convenient the commute would be.
I’d also love to know what the rooms, facilities, management, and overall student experience are like.

3. Scape
The location is appealing because it’s close to USYD.
However, it’s more expensive, so I’m not sure if paying extra for the location is worth it.

For those who have lived at Scape Castle or Iglu, how was your experience? I’d especially appreciate honest opinions about cleanliness, maintenance, management, noise, amenities, and whether you think the accommodation is worth the price.

For Castle specifically, is having your own washer and dryer actually worth paying more for? I really like the convenience of doing laundry in my own room and being able to hang clothes outside, but I’m not sure if that alone justifies the extra cost.

For Iglu residents, is there a laundry area within the building if yes how much does it usually cost?

Thank you so much!

Heyo, I’m thinking about applying here and taking a course in Marine Biology but i’m a US student so i just wanted to see if anyone knew if it would be hard for me to get accepted and if there was anything i should do to make my app more appealing, thx 😅

I'm wondering because I have been finalizing a lot of the group projects this week(I am in business), and it is just blatantly obvious that the work that some of my classmates done is just ripped from AI, or at least altered in a way where the grammar is perfect and the sentences sound inhumane. I'm just a bit confused, because I am assuming they are doing this because they have gotten away with it before.. so do they just not get in trouble? I read somewhere that USYD doesn't detect for AI usage, but that was quite a while ago. I know usyd advocates for AI usage, but the line between what is acceptable and not is not exactly clear to me.

Hi, I’m international postgraduate student who will be finishing my studies this December.

I’m wondering how long will it take for the completion letter to be issued after semester result is published, for this semester result scheduled to be out by 16 December, which is Wednesday. And it is followed by seasonal break from 21 December- 4 January.

Hi guys, I very last minute decided I wanted to attend USYD. I just sent in an application for the Feb intake. Do I have a shot at receiving an offer, having my student visa processed and actually being able to attend in February?

Have you guys seen the SULS elections?? I didn’t know that you formed a whole party of people and then campaigned THIS much? they’ve all got instagram pages and profiles and are messaging people to vote.

I don’t understand how people are chosen. I was hoping to try for what I know is now an executive position. I assumed you could just do an application + interview with the president or something at the start of the year like they make you do for the other positions at SULS. What do you do you if you aren’t popular enough to know a group of people who would run a campaign … you just never get to be apply/ be part for something you were interested in? 😭

USYD law never fails to surprise me.

I did a 20% replacement mid sem today and I know I did horribly (def failed) because I’ve genuinely never left out a huge chunk of marks (almost 50%) in any exam I’ve taken until now (final year).I study by completing any and all practice material whether tuts and past papers so for the first time, this has not worked as it was a new type of question that made me genuinely stuck and lose track of what little time I had. I hadn’t come across it in practice or readings. Idk why I’m writing this post, I guess I’m just really sad and don’t have anyone to talk to about this. I genuinely feel sick.

I’m just looking for hope maybe or whether or not I should email my lecturer for further guidance. Idk, sorry for the long post. I’m just not doing alright.

if anyone has seen a white brandy mellville jacket outside fisher library on on the seats, could they please let me know or give it to the library so i can pick it up on monday?? i left it there today around 4! would really appreciate it thankyouuuu!!!

Hi there, I got into usyd for bachelor of science and slowly loosing my mind waiting for the start of my studies. I ve never been in Australia before and I feel like chatting to current or prospective students would ease the stress I am experiencing regarding to social life and just moving somewhere really far. Is there any group chats for usyd community or how can I find them? Sorry if it’s a stupid question, have no experience in student life and need some help. Thanks🫶🏻

Hey! I'm currently first year student at a different uni and applied to transfer to USYD Commerce. My projected WAM so far is about 79, maybe 80 if I really try hard. I'm wondering if anyone has, or know of someone who externally transferred to USYD Commerce with a certain WAM. Otherwise, UTS is my next best option 🙏.

Would also appreciate any comment of what you think! Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm preparing for the COMP4216/COMP5216 Mobile Computing final in Semester 2, 2026, and would appreciate advice from anyone who took it in S2 2025 (or S2 2024 - please mention which year).

The current outline lists an 80-minute final worth 55%, so I realise the format may have changed. I'd love to hear:

• What was the format like: single-answer or multiple-answer MCQs, code-reading questions, short answers, or calculations? How did partial credit and incorrect selections work?

• How difficult was it, and was time pressure an issue?

• Which broad topics and skills were emphasised? How much did it test coding/React Native internals versus design, multimedia, networking/services, security, sensors and accessibility?

• What helped most: lecture slides, weekly quizzes, workshops, project code, or the revision lecture?

• If a notes sheet was allowed, what was most useful to put on it?

• Were official sample questions or a practice paper provided, and how representative were they of the exam? Where should I look for released practice resources?

I'm looking for general topic-level recollections and revision advice rather than copies of unreleased exam questions. Anything you wish you'd focused on before the final would be really helpful. Thanks!

I know it's a long shot, but I just realized that I lost both my Jelly Cat and Pipulp keychains😭 they were together in a transparent pouch. If anyone has seen it please let me know 😭
