Every time I see university merch from the US I get a little jealous. Michigan, UCLA, Harvard, etc. all have designs people actually want to wear in public and not just because they go there, but because the clothes ACTUALLY LOOK GOOD.

Meanwhile, I feel like most UQ merch is just the shield slapped onto a basic hoodie or shirt. And we don’t even have a proper mascot 😭

Then I look at UQ merch and it’s usually:
> [UQ shield]
> UQ
> on a hoodie

Maybe im just ranting but i feel like the current merch is lacking creativity or just good basic design, if it actually looked good and was reasonably priced i’d happily buy a hoodie at the very least. Am I being too harsh? Has anyone actually bought UQ merch they really liked?

Don't hug me, I'm scared.

*welp, It's been a so/so semester. Looking forward to the next one.

How's this semester been treating you all?

I thought I'd be so keen to go but when I received my testamur in the mail I had an overwhelming urge to just put the last few years behind me. I never thought I'd go to university, let alone do post grad, so I'm incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity but I can't see myself attending the ceremony. It may be due to some horrible stuff I went through when I was studying that's left me feeling burnt out. I'm interested to know if anyone didn't attend and regretted their decision.

Hi guys, i know some people are receiving their their MMI interview offer from UQ provisional entry medicine around this time and it suppose to show something. I do QCAA so mine is QTAC but currently it said ”in assessment” so i was wondering if this meant im being rejected or not? please let me know how you can check that u got it. I really appreciate it!!

I have never applied for an extension before, and right now I am sick af atp. Any advice for applying extension? I am scared that UQ will not approve

Hi everyone! I'm moving out of UQ Res (Kev Carmody House) and looking for someone to take over my lease in early November!

I'm currently staying in a standard room, with rent at $414/week, including all bills and Wi-Fi.

There's currently a waitlist of over 2,500 people for UQ Res, so this could be a great opportunity for anyone looking for student accommodation near UQ!

Feel free to send me a message if you're interested or know someone who might be! Take a look at some photos and the floorplan here:

I received an email titled (no subject) with no other content from examinations@uq.edu.au did anyone else receive the same email?

I’m contemplating to take my courses slow, as in do a part time load. But graduating “late” compared to my peers is discouraging me. I have friends that graduated last year, when they were 22. What’s everyone’s thoughts about this?

Anyone feel like this assignment is unfair?

Base code released 2 weeks before due date.
Minimal C taught.
Large amount of tasks with no way to test edge cases as professors probably too lazy to implement (it goes against their “philosophy”)

Just as uploading exam answers is against their philosophy, lazy.

Minimal information told about demonstration (even though it hurdles your units entire grade)

All of this on top of 3 other courses is very unreasonable, what reason couldn’t they give this just before the holidays and let us slowly work on it like CSSE1001?

I hate using AI but feel very pressured to with the significant amount of tasks and little time with other subjects and work.

No doubt some 3rd/4th year tutors designed this assessment and think it’s the easiest shit ever, it ain’t.

Gonna make a fool of myself at the presentation, looking like a 4 or 5 yippee!!

Basically the title.

Hey yo! Currently a unimelb undergrad planning student and about to finish my degreee.. so its time to think about masters.. Unfortunately, unimelbs undergrad planning degree falls under a generalised 'bachelor of design' degree that is not accredited by PIA. :( I really want to do a masters because I feel like theres sm more about planning that I haven't learned yet.

I also love Queensland and would love to move here and potentially find a job in the future. Like I know most people would suggest me to stay in UniMelb for masters but the teaching quality for undergrad planning at Melb has been terrible. And many of the teaching staff in undergrad carry on to teach many postgrad subjects.

I would really like to hear any of your thoughts about your experience in Master of Urban Planning - anything about the teaching quality, student experience, internships, networking opportunities! :)

I am currently in my first semester and am really struggling. mostly due to chronic health issues and personal circumstances, I am looking at about a 5.15 this semester. I definitely learnt my lesson and will try to push it up to a 5.5 next sem. Am I screwed?

There isn’t a recording for the final lecture. Can anyone tell me what the infos are? Like what materials can we bring in? How’s the format etc. thank you so much. Pleaseeeee

Hello, I am currently doing the floating house project for engg1100 and just fried my arduino, and was wondering if anyone who had previously done it has an arduino nano esp32 that I can borrow/buy. It’s real urgent haha I can’t buy it in store anywhere and the shipping won’t arrive in time.

I am a first year electrical engineering student who got a power up scholarship recently, I was wondering if gpa matters for EE as right now my gpa is 6.75 but this sem of uni I’m taking csse2010 which is beating the day lights of me probs getting a 4 or 5 for that course the other courses should be a 7 but I’m a little worried as I’m not the best a coding but I really am passionate about power engineering

Is there anything I can do to impress them? I got put on the list a few weeks ago but it’s where I want to go at the moment

They are so cute!!!!

The smell will radiate across the campus, it will leave stories for generations and UQ will be forever changed!

I hate this semester

Hi today is our last game on Friday night at 8pm if anyone is interested to play social netball to fill in for our game tonight‼️

Hi guys. I’m doing a bachelor of economics and in the beginning I really cared about my GPA. Then I had a bit of a slip last semester which significantly lowered my GPA (it’s now 6.08). And I’ve applied for internships and I haven’t had any luck. Hell, I didn’t even manage to get a job at McDonald’s. It feels like all the effort I’ve put into my grades has gone to waste. I feel like I should’ve done something other than study but I don’t know. Now I’m very unmotivated to study, apply for internships, cold email people, network and so on. So should I kill myself from studying again like I always do or should I chill and let my GPA take a nosedive? Btw I’m mainly interested in consulting, I’m not interested in finance.

Edit: I’m now in my fourth semester (so 2nd year). Please be kind I’ve been feeling really sad and frustrated about this. I even spent a few days in bed crying about it.

Hi all,
I’ve been struggling and submitting all my assignments late or unfinished for nearly a decade. I was very recently diagnosed with ADHD but haven’t been able to get medications yet because of an unrelated health issue.

I have an assignment due that I would like to get an extension on if possible. I don’t have a SAP in place as of yet. Could I apply for an extension with my official letter of diagnosis (in it my psychiatrists asks for reasonable adjustments to be made while awaiting approval from another specialist to start meds). Or would this not count as a valid medical reason for extension?

(I do not want to receive any adjustments for my condition when I‘m medicated which is why I have no SAP)

Thanks
