Kinda confused on what to major in... I'm 100% sure of accounting and I wish I could only do accounting but we gotta have two majors. Thinking about doing marketing as my other one but majoring in accounting and marketing makes no sense together compared to say accounting and finance. I also don't want to do 80 units of electives cause I don't want that added stress of having to pick courses every semester. Picking already scheduled courses is overwhelming enough.

I came across this post on the UON Hate Letters FB Group. What do you guys think it could be? From what I can see, apparently it’s meant to let people report where parking’s busy, where they’ve been fined and when inspectors are around.

I guess once there’s enough data, it could show which areas and times are more risky for parking.

Could be pretty handy around Callaghan.

Im required to get 70% gpa in foundation, and 65% or above in the English for Academic Purposes and Introduction to Academic Communication courses.

is getting these grades are hard??. or it absolutely possible?.

And is there a high rate of falling in pharmacy program or is it possible to pass??

On behalf of my psychology honours thesis!

I'm starting CRIM1020, but looking at the material it seems weird. The lecture recordings provided on Canvas are dated 2023 and feature a completely different person to the one running the course.

For Context I am a year 12 student who wants to do bachelor of engineering (flexible entry). I don't take physics, ext 1 or engineering studies. I only take maths advanced. Do I need to take a bridging course and if so what bridging course do I need

Just wondering what your preference is in lectures to use? Note that I am old school and I print the lecture slides and take my notes direct on the slides.

EDIT - I am not asking for preferences on note taking I am asking for preferences on browsing websites and journals during a lecture.

My preferred note taking method is by hand and this is not my original question.

I'm an honours student running a study comparing two creative activities.

It's fully online, takes about 1–2 hours in one sitting whenever suits you.

Open to students at any Australian university, age 18-29.

I got a (group) email from my teacher a little while ago letting us know we have a lectorial every Monday 9-11 however it isn’t on my schedule on myUni, is this a mistake by the teacher (possibly sent to the wrong class) or is it just not on schedules?
Below is a transcript of the start of the email

“As announced previously, every Monday from 9-10 am we will have a lectorial. This session is designed to take you through the main concepts and work through an example. I encourage you to attend live, but if you can't, the session will be recorded so you can watch it later. You can access the lectorials by clicking the Zoom button on the left-hand side, as shown in the image below”

Edit: turns out I am just absolutely dumb and it’s on zoom and her use of “live” confused me

Hello, what can I do if all the times available for a workshop are full I’ve joined both the lectures but can’t joint the workshops. Do I just have to drop the unit?

Hi all, I'm Nick and I'm building a budgeting app for young Australians and I'd rather find out what people actually need than keep guessing.

Short survey around 3 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm trying to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, please say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. Feedback on the survey itself is welcome too.

There's an optional email field at the end. If you fill it in you go into a draw for 1 of 3 $50 vouchers. I will shoot you an email if you have won and you can pick which voucher you want i.e Coles/Myer/JB Hi-Fi, winner picks. Closes 20/08/26, drawn 21/08/26,

As of writing this post there's only like 8 people that have done the survey so you are not competing with that many people.

the course outline says one of my courses this semester is a lectorial. Does this mean the lectures will be like hybrid with the tutorial?

I'm kinda bummed if that's the case bc I find it much better to be able to pause and rewind an online lecture when I need to and properly take everything in.

if anyone has any tips on how to get the most out of this (if it is what I think it is) I would really appreciate the advice!

Hi everyone,

I’m an incoming student starting the Master of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Newcastle in Semester 2, 2026, with the Computational Intelligence specialisation.

I wanted to ask current or past students: how is the program overall? How difficult are the courses?

Is anyone else joining this program in Semester 2, 2026? Would be good to connect and hear honest advice before classes start.

Thanks.

I haven't explored this fully, but I found out through a friend's partner (another student, not official uni communication by any means) that there's free* medical services available to students.

I'm booked in for some psychology appointments in order to try to get some diagnoses and understand the way my brain works. Have been told by uni staff that it won't cost me a thing.

You can find out more about GP and related services here:
https://www.newcastle.edu.au/current-students/uni-life/campus/campus-amenities/medical-centres/newcastle-appointments

You can find out about therapy, counselling, psychology etc here: https://www.newcastle.edu.au/current-students/support/personal/counselling/study-and-wellbeing-resources

*Free as far as I know. Some might just be very, very cheap.

Hey looking at potentially going to UoN but I’d have to get accom as I am interstate and while I have a general idea of residencies and colleges at my local unis, I find it really difficult to find info online about colleges because you don’t get the same proper look at the facilities or the actual student perspectives so I was wondering if any UoN students living in accommodation could tell me a bit about it (quality, social aspects, costs).

More looking at like I guess the general vibes of the different accoms because that is a big draw for my local colleges (e.g. the party college with a major stem focus or like the more strict and more humanities colleges). This is what is hardest to gauge without actively visiting (which I hopefully will do eoy anyway).

Anyways, thank you if you can help!

Does anyone know when I will be added to my courses on canvas. Last year I was added to all of them by now but with only 5 days to go I feel like maybe something is wrong? I’m enrolled in all of my selected ones and two are online?

Anyone have any clue when offers start releasing? The website doesn’t mention when, unless it does and I just can’t find it 👀

Hi all, international student from Singapore here! Did my UCAT ANZ last year and this is my result. Did GCE A Lvls with a score of H2 AAA and H1 ABC. Also did SAT and scored 1400. Does anyone know my chances for UON Medicine?

morning all, my lectures this semester are at NuSpace.

Wondering what the best options for parking are or am I best off using public transport eg train from Cardiff

Hey everyone, I'll be a student on my first year this upcoming semester 2 at the NUspace Is welcome week (O week) optional or compulsory? And does NUspace campus do O week as well? Or is it just callaghan? Thanks in advance.
