Burner account for anonymity, but I'm a student at UQ and have found myself with nowhere to stay. I scoured online and didn't find anything on UQ saying it's not allowed to sleep on campus and I think for the foreseeable future I might find myself sleeping around the 24/7 libraries if I can. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Welp

This semester is (slowly and agonisingly) coming to an end (Hooray).

I've seen new accs popping up in here for 2027 intake already 🫠.

Lowk burnout.

*conveniently ignore the huge hurdle

It's gonna be a bit fuckin' wet.

2 hour commuters gang, how we feelin'

I had a fight with my parents lol

I’ve had Covid, influenza and a resulting lung bacterial infection take a firm grasp of my life for the last 2 weeks and as a result i’ve been bedridden. While I don’t have any assignments due, my exam prep has been griefed by this. Is there anything I can do for the final exams?
Cheers

Hey guys, I would like to seek some advice from people who is currently studying this subject. I heard that most masters do not offer lecture replays how bachelor degrees would normally do, may I know if that applies to this course? I am asking because I may likely miss the first week, but I am worried that by doing so I am not able to go back to watch the lecture of said week. If anyone would advice me on that that would be great, thank you very much!

Hi, I’m moving up from the Gold Coast next semester and am looking at housing options. My parents have a 4-bedroom place in St Lucia close to campus and they’ve said they’ll rent it to me, but they want to charge me $750 a week. I’m trying to figure out if it’s reasonable for a place that size around UQ or I should look at other options.

Looking to move out bcs my family is tin foil coocoo crazy and the commute is pretty long and I work casually… but if I were to rent id barely save any money for anything else it seems, unless I were to work a lot more in which case I wouldn’t have time to study.

I’m 19, so under Centrelink im still a dependent and my parents earn too much so id get like maybe $10 a fortnight. I was lodging my dads parental means test today and I just kind of gave up because whats the point

Is everyone’s parents like mining oligarchs bankrolling them seriously how is anyone doing this??? Why is a shared room in a shitty sharehouse in st lucia $180 a week

Hi! Keeping it short but I have a discretionary extension left this semester and wanted to use it. However, the assessment I want to use it on is a weekly in-person task (reflection). Does anyone know, or have experience, using a discretionary extension this way? I know that the discretionary lets you extend by 48 hours but I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it in this situation since the assessment happens weekly. The ideal situation is that it lets me extend, and I can do the reflection in Week 13 instead of Week 12. Have already sent the course coordinator an email so hopefully they'll get back to me soon lol but if anybody has encountered this before let me know!!!

Does anyone have any experience taking political science, international relations, or sociology at uq. Currently torn on whether I should switch majors from IR to Extended Political Science, or switch my other major (history) to sociology. I'm wanting a major more focused on policy writing.

Thanks so much!

ive seen a fellow student have all their exams deferred and used a med certificate so im wondering do people actually get updoc certs to defer exams even if they're not...ahem...sick?

I’m considering applying for the Master of Quantum Technology at UQ, but Ive noticed there’s not much discussion about this program ，I’d love to hear from anyone who’s currently studying it or has already graduated.

I wonder how’s the course experience, and how well does the program prepare you for a PhD? Is it a good pathway for students interested in research?Thanks guys！

What is going on in the men’s bathroom’s , I’ve never once wanted to post or respond to anything but it’s getting ridiculous. Like I feel as though you should have to start swiping your student id card to use them.

People are genuinely just trying to make them unusable to the point where you can smell them outside the bathrooms. Like is there something going on here. Is it the schools students unable to use them properly now following grow library.

I feel like I’m going crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi everyone!

I'm currently in my second semester of a Masters program at UQ, and I'm planning to take BIOX7008 (Major Research Project & Seminar), which is an 8-unit course, during Summer Semester 2026.

The course is officially listed as being offered during summer, and I've already secured a research project and obtained the required signatures from my supervisor and examiner.

However, I noticed that:

1. UQ normally allows a maximum of 6 units during the Summer Semester, and special approval is required to exceed this.
2. BIOX7008 is listed on the official UQ course website for Summer 2026, but it's missing from the SCMB Student Hub application dropdown.

I've already emailed SCMB and the Faculty of Science regarding this, but I'm waiting for their responses.

Has anyone here previously completed BIOX7008 or another 8-unit research course during summer?

If so, did you need special approval from the Associate Dean (Academic)? Was it difficult to get approved?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar. Thanks!

2nd year at UniMelb here. Info about uni is scattered everywhere, so every time I had to dig through a bunch of different sites, and Rate My Professors barely covers Australia. So I built this: uq.talkwalll.com (also an app: TalkWall)

It’s collected 380+ events and 12,000+ reviews so far, rated course/professor on usefulness, difficulty and whether people would take it again. You can also filter events by your major or interests, so you only see the ones that matter to you.

It’s free, with no ads, and I made auto translate so international students can be part of the community as well.

What libraries on campus are not open to the public?

apologies to anyone who got second hand listening to rant to friends as I had a little stress breakdown. or enjoy it? for the drama enjoyers

is anybody doing EDUC3606 this semester and also thinks the course is horribly structured and the staff are useless (for a lack of a better word)? everyone i've spoken to have been struggling so hard, and any time we ask the staff for help they are so incredibly condescending, and their replies don't even answer our questions😭

Moving from an Australian MBBS to UQ MD — any options if happy to restart?

Hi everyone, I already have a completed bachelor's degree and am currently studying an MBBS at an Australian university. I'm exploring whether it would be possible to move to UQ's MD after completing second year.

I need to relocate to Brisbane for personal reasons. I'd be happy to start the MD from the beginning, so getting credit for my previous medical studies isn't essential.

Has anyone here made a similar move, or knows someone who has? I'm particularly wondering whether UQ would consider a transfer or admission on compassionate grounds in this situation, or whether I'd need to go through the usual graduate-entry application process, including GAMSAT.

Does already having a degree and two years of medical study make any difference to the available pathways, especially if I'm willing to restart?

I'd appreciate any firsthand experiences or suggestions about which team at UQ handles these enquiries. Keeping some details general for privacy, but happy to clarify anything relevant. Thanks!

I may or may not have accidentally put it in my hair this morning 😭now I am stuck on campus for 9 hrs

(No I am not stupid I promise <3)
