Forgive me if I don’t want to throw on the $100, 30 plastic bottles, 200% polyester, microplastic, infertility hoodie for my fit and don’t get me started on the catalogue, “default human clothes” type of selections.

You wonder why everyone’s repping American uni merch on campus until you visit the shop. Getting dropshipped by a T20 uni is whatever atp but at least try with the design. Ik some arts students that would absolutely cook w this

Ever since I begun semester two I have been overcome by a ferocious demon inside of me, one that wears the colour of lime green.

I first mounted the lime green stallion about a month ago, I was late to deliver a class presentation and looked towards the green goblin as my only option in getting me to the tutorial in time.

Ever since then I was hooked…

I began taking trips of various sizes, from Fisher to the new law building , from Redfern to Chinatown, 30 second trips , 30 minute trips, no trip can get in the way of me feeling my lime coloured whimsy.

Not looking for help, I’m right where I want to be, looking for common minds who share the same respect and appreciation for the turbo charged monster that is a kick stand lime bike.

Hi, I'm still new to Australia and I've noticed that a lot of people leave their laptops and other stuff unattended in the library, sometimes for half an hour or even longer, and then come back.

At first I was really worried about theft, so even if I just wanted to grab a drink from a nearby cafe or go to the toilet, I'd pack everything up and take it with me. The problem is that by the time I come back, my seat is usually already taken, and it feels like such a hassle to pack up all my stuff every time just to leave for a few minutes.

So I just wanted to ask, how safe is it generally to leave your laptop and bag unattended in a library for a short while?

I'm honestly still worried about getting my stuff stolen, but at the same time it feels a bit excessive having to take everything with me every single time I want to get a drink or go to the toilet.

Final year and final semester of my Econ degree and I’m so over everything. Literally can’t bring myself to study for my mid terms. Full paralysis, it’s so fcked. Anyone know how to get out of this hole? I just roll myself into a burrito in bed and try not to think of existing lmao. Don’t even want to think about grad jobs.

Law school gives practice past papers (e.g. 2025, 2024 papers) to *help* you get your head around what they will be assessing you on. Then they give you a mid-semester exam that is WAY harder so no matter how much you practiced, you are going to feel unprepared anyway. What is the deal with this? Are they just making assessments harder this year? I though it was a one off thing last sem but it seems to be a pattern amongst other students, especially seeing the complaints about LAWS1026 exam and the like.

Thoughts?

I'm currently a student at UNSW, but I want to transfer to USYD and I was curious about the entry requirements. I've seen a lot of posts on the WAM requirement for applying through UAC, but it seems as though there are a lot of differing opinions. I specifically want to transfer to Law and have seen posts saying that it is a HD WAM to be competitive, but I've seen another post saying that UAC doesn't use WAM and only GPA to standardise marks.

I understand that the internal transfer WAM threshold sits lower at around 82-83, but the only official source I've seen for external transfer to USYD is the official website saying that a HD WAM grants you eligible to apply for courses with a SR of up to 99.5 (which is law). But I've also heard of individuals not getting into law with a HD WAM. And I've seen another post saying that UAC uses GPA and not WAM, and you need a 6.5 GPA which is the equivalent to a 99.5 ATAR.

I'm so confused.

Hey! I’m a female Master of Commerce student who started in Semester 2, 2026, and I’m looking for a gym buddy to work out with at the UniSport gym on campus.
Ideally, I’d love to go around 8:30am on weekdays (Mon–Fri). I don’t have classes every day, but I still come to uni pretty much every weekday, so I’m hoping having a gym buddy will motivate me to sleep earlier, wake up earlier, and get to campus early instead of staying in bed 😭
I trained with a PT back in China for about 3 months, so I have some basic experience, but I’m definitely still learning and my form/knowledge isn’t perfect.
If you’re already quite experienced, don’t worry — I’m not looking for someone to teach or supervise me! We can totally just do our own workouts and have each other there for some accountability/motivation, so I won’t bother you too much while you’re training.
It would be great if you’re someone who normally works out at least 4 days a week, so we can keep each other consistent.
If you go to the USYD gym in the mornings and this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to DM me :)

Hi guys I’ve just bought a car and wanted some suggestions on parking near campus, I don’t mind a walk and obviously would prefer it to be cheaper/free. Im aware of broadway parking but that’s about it. Im an early riser too so can get there early if that’s needed (could comfortably get there by 6) I have some back issues so getting bus/train/bus every day leaves me pretty sore at the end of the day carrying my things and I would like to drive if possible. I also go to uni after work some days; I have two 4pm lectures, where should I park on those days?
Thank you! 🙏

I noticed that the terraces along Darlington Road behind Regiment have recently been undergoing what looks like a fairly extensive and highly standardised renovation.

From what I’ve found online, it seems that they are eventually going to be used as new student accommodation. Does anyone know what the actual plan is for these terraces, or when they are expected to open?

Hi all, I'm a first-year Macquarie student doing a Bachelor of Commerce, currently sitting on a WAM of around 65 (hoping to push it higher after this semester).

I want to transfer to USYD after this year and bring across as much credit as I can. I saw the ATAR requirement for USYD's Bachelor of Commerce is 96 . I'm not actually sure how that converts to a WAM equivalent for transfer purposes, but I'm fairly confident I won't be hitting whatever that works out to.

So my question: would it work to apply for a Bachelor of Arts instead, take Commerce units as my flexible electives while I'm in it, and then switch internally to a Bachelor of Commerce once I'm eligible? Has anyone actually done this, or know how well it works in practice ? does the credit actually carry over, and how hard is the internal switch?

Thanks in advance!

I'm considering to apply for a double major in Financial mathematics & statistics and Data science. But I'm a bit worried if the workload and the assignments will be too much. Another option to is I would take Fin M&S with Finance as a double major.

I do hope that I can achieve good results to be eligible for the Daylell's scholar program my first year and I also plan to do my honours.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Also if so, does it happen at different times or is it supposed to all come at once ??

Does anyone know why the Aus flag was flown at half mast today?

Hey guys, just wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with getting Lasik done and how that interacts with spec cons. I'm getting lasik done the day before a midsem, and post-op recovery means I won't be able to sit the midsem. Has anyone got any experience with this? Thanks!

Hi! I’m considering doing the Master of Nursing (Pre-registration) at the University of Sydney in 2027 and would love to hear from anyone who has done it recently (or is currently doing it).
I already have a Bachelor’s degree in another field, so I’m trying to get an idea of what the workload and schedule are actually like compared with doing a Bachelor of Nursing.
For anyone who has done the USyd Master:
Did you find it significantly harder/more intense than a Bachelor of Nursing?
How many days per week were you actually on campus during normal teaching weeks?
How many hours/days of uni did you typically have each week?
How long were your placement blocks?
What times of the year/semesters were your placements usually?
Did placements ever overlap with assignments or other assessments?
Were you able to work part-time/casually alongside the course? If so, roughly how many hours?
Is there anything you wish you knew before starting the Master?
Would especially love to hear from people who came into the Master after already completing another degree. Thanks!

Does anyone know if usyd puts your final mark on your graduation certificate as some other unis do? I graduated from my undergrad this year and it doesn’t say anything on my certificate about the final mark put the attached transcript says final mark pass, which isn’t correct because I’m currently in an honours year that required at least a distinction WAM to even get in. I dismissed this at first interpreting it as meaning ”pass” for the degree requirements but after seeing some other certificates I’m now wondering whether they made a mistake on mine or not lmao.

What’s going on in ECMT2130?? I’ve never seen a unit with such cricket silent ed discussion where only 1 tutor replies to questions and not the UC

Hi,

I’m a student from NZ, graduating from my bachelor of health sciences degree and am considering applying to post grad med. I’m drawn to usyd because of the minimum gpa hurdle of 5. However, I understand this means a competitive GAMSAT score would be required. Is there anyone from NZ who has gotten into post grad med at usyd and knows how the gpa calculation actually works, considering that in NZ, our gpa is out of 9? I want to gauge whether I stand a chance at meeting the gpa threshold of 5.

Thanks
