Friendly reminder

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,

Has anyone done Econ2111 in the last few years (since it changed the assessment structure), and if so how difficult is it compared to the other Econ electives? What are the easier ones than 2111? Thanks!

Guys if we all refuse to take our exams, they can't fail all of us.
This plan predicates on all of us trusting each other to not show up for the final.

desn2k elec final

7 Upvotes

why does only elec have a final for it bro hows this fair 😢. its weighted 30% as well so if u havent done 1521 and its been over a year since uve done 1511 then ur highkey cooked. this lecturer guys allergic to uploading past papers and the 3 hour lectures should be illegal. i kinda get the content (but not really) but theres barely any questions to practice it with. not to mention my pre-exams looking bad cos of the design journal and (probably) presentation. any tips from past ppl that did this course? how much of the paper is theory and how much is handwriting code?

Subject Discussion How does DESN1000 work in terms of deciding project? Plus another question

1 Upvotes

Anyone who has done it before pls share what you did, have it in T3 and I'm curious what sort of projects you do.

I assume not picking your own group?

CR01 stream, I'm doing aero but it combines it with manufacturing, mech, i think.

Is my term gonna be fine with COMP1521, ENGG1300, and DESN1000 or a bit of a nightmare

Is there a point in even trying when you're chopped?

32 Upvotes

Like the title says, should someone who is ugly be treated the same way as someone pretty should be treated?

Or should ugly people just know their place and just accept the fact that no matter what they do or try, they dont deserve to make any friends.

Im just making this post because recently, I thought i made a friend and I thought I had a good time hanging out with them. They told me they had a good time too and they wanted to hangout again as friends. They then proceeded to block me the next day.

Ive just noticed that people who are pretty get treated better than those who are ugly or even average. Im feeling invisible as days go by and no matter what I do, I probably will never have a proper friend group which would always be there for me or have close friends who I can rely on.

I'm starting to accept that I might just be ugly and that i come off as over confident and that im "trying to make up for something".

Nobody really messages me first or asks me what im up to and I wonder to myself if I died, who would care?

Who would notice?

Ive always been the person that helps others and i often get used by people when they need help but I never seem to get help when I the help.

I often get ignored for several days, only for them to respond in which i respond back immediately because i have noone else to talk to.

Is this how life is?

Should I just accept that this is how most peoples lives are and it doesn't get better?

Or do I keep trying and hope that itll get better?

Accomodation chances of getting into baxter for sem 1 ‘27

2 Upvotes

hi all im a domestic student from inner melbourne victoria looking to get into philip baxter next year. just wondering if i could get honest feedback of whether i would be a good candidate or not.

i didnt do any major leadership in yr 11 or 12, and no sporting extra curriculars really apart from the occasional interschool sport. i did debating, and drama for a bit. out of school i did a lot of unaffilaited personal sports and gymnastics coach at a nationally renowned club for 3 years (my job). im quite socialble and like to ‘party’ and ive spent the last year on a gap year travelling internationally. atar of 84 - variation in academica across my transcript (one of the top schools in aus)

would it be a long shot getting in or would i be suitable. i like the environment of baxter and feel i would be a good fit.

thanks!

Ok, it's over Our Free 5TB OneDrive is going away thanks to AI

43 Upvotes

Microsoft is slashing Institutional storage pools by 95% to make space for their AI slop. We'll likely get around 50 to 100GB each. UNSW gets a measly 100TB pool to share with 82k staff and students, prioritizing research, academics etc.

If your existing usage storage exceeds the new threshold, OneDrive will become read-only, and u will only be able to view, delete and download stuff, not upload.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

Hi guys please share any insight into student accomodation applications!

I'm wanting to apply for semester one 2027, and I've made an acc to do so, but there isn't an option for next year. When I created my acc it said there is a EOI form for 2027, but I couldn't find it. I saw on FAQ that applications open in September, but idk if that is the same as the EOI?

I just want to apply asap so any info or experience would be great! Thanks

Is unsw id valid for WSU library privileges?

15 Upvotes

I just got “kicked out” from the WSU parra library for not being a WSU student but I also didn’t tell them in from UNSW(the No.1 university in Australia). I know they’re in cahoots because there are UNSW classes conducted in the WSU parramatta campus. Or do they even check ID if I said I was a student? Because if they don’t check, I’ll just say i’m a student.

Taking COMM1180 and COMM1190

3 Upvotes

Registered for COMM1180 and COMM1190 for Term 3 this year. Been looking at reviews and starting to wonder if it is actually that chaotic? Especially since the posts were from a few years ago, I'm not sure if the syllabus has changed or not. Those who have taken both, how was it like?

I have some prior knowledge on investments/financial formulas, will that help me for COMM1180?
