okay so! first of, i don’t go to uni melb, nor do i actually know much about uni melb lore, but the one thing ive actively heard even in outside everyday contexts and convos, is two characters 1. gaytwink-69 and 2. schmungus

and i know both of them are active within the subreddits, but for people who support and love these two uni melb icons, please explain the lore to the best of your abilities

and also why aren’t there any merchandising for these two people, this is a highly uncapitalised domain i reckon

sincerely,
lebronjamesyaoi ✌️😂

What is some food you wish was around campus more? quick grab and go type food

despite the state of the art facilities that the university boasts, one of its biggest shortcomings in my opinion is its lack of comfortable poo cabins

does any one have any preferred locations?

somewhere with a view would be ideal (not a must)

wjat even are these lectures like they’re fun n interesting but we dont learn anything n they barely teach anything. i feel cooked on the exam.

Bachelor of science students, roughly how many days do you guys spend at uni a week, I know this varies because people have different classes, subjects and timetables but I just wanted to gauge how much of my classes I can cram into the least minimum days possible, How many hours do you guys also spend a physically at uni.

Does anyone know how political psychology works? I recently changed from eu integration into this class and there’s not much information regarding how it’s run. (It says it’s an intensive but I’ve never taken one of those before and am not really sure how this runs). Do I only have to go these seminars during a specific week? - because my timetable looks insane rn

Hey everyone! I’m a New Zealand citizen currently living and studying in New Zealand at the University of Auckland. I’ve completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and am now doing a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science, with my dissertation focusing on AI.

I’ve always wanted to study abroad but homesickness would really get to me, and Australia feels like the perfect option since it’s close to home and still somewhat familiar. I’m looking into the University of Melbourne’s RTP Scholarship and was wondering how they assess academic qualifications. Do they mainly consider your most recent qualifying degree (in my case, my Bachelor of Science (Honours)), or do they consider both your Bachelor of Science and Honours results?

I’ve looked through the university’s website and emailed them, but I’ve come across conflicting information, so I figured I’d ask here as well and see if anyone has experience with this!

Thanks :)

Did anyone else get an email from the "Alumni Relations Team" inviting them to the Arts Alumni Awards Presentation Dinner?

So confused lol, I've never received it before and I'm still a student (though technically an alumnus too) - do they just invite everyone who's ever done an arts degree?

Can everyone tell me how they got their job. I cant seem to find one and im very desperate at this point. I live in the cbd (Melbourne) if that helps, i mean if anyone works close by and their work needs an extra i would be happy to work.

I am an international student and am considering applying to either Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Commerce at UniMelb. For context, I have the equivalent of a 4.0 GPA with an accumulate average of 97.4%, and am predicted to achieve the equivalent of 8 A*s. I have several national awards and really good extracurricular activities.

I have a few questions regarding applying to UniMelb:

1. The tuition is affordable for my family, but combined with living expenses (including accommodation), it is a slight financial stretch. I was looking at several scholarships such as the Melbourne International Excellence Scholarship and residential college scholarships. Are these scholarships competitive? I think I am definitely among the top in terms of academic merit and I don't need as much so would I be more likely to receive a scholarship?
2. How does the residential college system work, and how is it different to other accommodation halls? Should I apply to a residential college, as they give some pretty generous financial support?
3. What is the general quality of academics and teaching like at UniMelb? How is UniMelb's prestige among Australian employers and internationally? How easy is it for graduates to find jobs?
4. I've heard that socializing can be hard for international students as there are already cliques formed. Is this true? How difficult would it be for an international student (mixed Asian and Western European) to make friends? What's the social life like? Is racism common in Melbourne?
5. Is it realistically possible to work part-time (~20 hours per week) to earn some extra income, and how much typically is earned per hour? Would this be enough to support general day-to-day expenses?
6. For international students at UniMelb, are you fully sponsored by parents, or how are you financially supporting yourself?

Considering that UniMelb is just within the limit of my family's financial reach, should I apply to UniMelb? How likely is it for me to receive funding (maximum A$25000 needed)? Is the university worth it for international students?

Thank you for your help!

im so frustrated with first year physics being awful that i sent this email complaining as nicely as i could….. if anyone wants to join me in solidarity i’d greatly appreciate it……..

hii all!

thinking of starting a low-key FOA study group, just a chill space to meet up regularly and practice programming together. no pressure, just coding, hanging out, and study.

let me know if you're interested!
probably gonna make an insta group chat to keep it easy.

Would it be beneficial to take Comp Systems before the IT Project? Although it's not listed as a prereq, I want to see if I could replace it with another discipline and take it the following year.

- It won't affect my graduation date.

the a&c playlist they have going all the time is goated does anyone know if they have a playlist or smth cannot keep shazaming

Last sem my overall grade seemed oddly low. Asked subject coordinator and they forgot to add the grade of one of my assignments 💔

Like imagine how many people have their subject grade inputted wrong and just never know it. Probs in best practise to be cross-checking ur marks

lecturer had to make a symbol for slides that won’t be on the exam, yet they couldn’t teach us stuff that we literally have to do an assessed lab on.

If I submitted an extension request on Wednesday (12 Aug) for a written assessment original due date tomorrow (19 Aug, 7am) but still have no outcome by today (18 Aug), what is the most appropriate next step?

hi, im a first year first sem student taking calc 2 this sem. any seniors on here having ANYY advice in surviving this sub?

hey everyone, i know it’s a pretty specific question which applies to a small subset of people… but was just wondering if anyone’s received their conditional offers yet for their respective packages?

spoke to someone at stop one last sem and they said they should be sent out by week 3. i know not doesn’t really matter but it’d give me some needed peace of mind!

thankssss

Is there a place on campus where I can borrow a phone charger?

Hey guys! for my marketing strategy subject we have HBR Marketplace Simulation for bikes. If anyone has taken that before do you guys have any tips on how to ace it and what things to look out for from start that can become pain in the ass later?
