Just want to check with you.

Is it true that once a student is required to sit for a supplementary exam, he will be asked to sit for supplementary exams in subsequent years irrespective how he does in the year end exams? And the max marks for a supplementary is restricted to 50 marks?

supplementary exams are only offered for units that you have failed.. and yes for the marks part.. there's only pass and fail grades.

You mean if you sit for supp in year 1 for accounting, you have to sit for supp in year 2 and 3 for accounting? Once in, until you graduate!

Accomodation needed for a 3 months period from end of Jan 2015 to end April 2015 near Monash Peninsula campus.

Any recommendations will be much appreciated.

hey guys,

a friend of mine just got offer from monash. wondering he should stay in sunway monash residence or sun-U residence.

can any of you give some reviews on this..

isit possible for a friend like me to crash at his room for a night or two if i visit him?

Both are ok. But Monash residence is more expensive as it is a person to a room. Sun U has other options. And Sun U also generally segregates the males from the females.

No outsiders are allowed.

Now that's a bummer. sad.gif
U did great fighting for ur rights. Hopefully that housekeeper is nicer now.
Okay will pass the info to my friend.

Another thing though, so the lease contract is per year? Meaning during holidays which is a total of few months in a year, we also pay full rent?  hmm.gif

And erm is air con needed? If we r staying like 10 plus or 20 stores high.. Sorry have to ask this as we r not locals.

All students will move out at the end of the academic year or else you will have to pay for it. This is the same in other countries like UK and Oz. You will be given another room when the new academic year begins.

The air con is fixed to the room and a certain number of usage hours will be allocated. Excess will have to be paid.

You can opt for one without air cond in Sun U Residence but I dont think you can have a room to yourself there. Its a sharing basis.

Melbourne named world’s most liveable city for fifth consecutive year

Melbourne narrowly beat Vienna to be named the world’s most liveable city for the fifth year in a row.

MARVELLOUS Melbourne has been named the world’s most liveable city for the fifth year in a row.

The world’s five most liveable cities named by The Economist were Melbourne, Vienna, Vancouver, Toronto, Adelaide and Calgary.

Melbourne received a near perfect score of 97.5 out of 100.

The scores of the five major Australian cities remained unchanged from 2014 with Melbourne first, Adelaide fifth, Sydney seventh, Perth eighth, and Brisbane 18th.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT MELBOURNE? TELL US BELOW
Premier Daniel Andrews said the survey results are proof Melbourne really does have the best of everything.

“This is an achievement all Victorians can be proud of,” Mr Andrews said.

“Perfect scores in healthcare, education and infrastructure, culture and environment and sport are proof there’s no place like Victoria.”

Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said winning the title five years in a row against tough competition was a great achievement.

“They are all wonderful cities but Melbourne is number one,” Cr Doyle said.

“In a very competitive tourism and education market, this becomes a very important sale point for Melbourne.”

Cr Doyle said Melbourne needed to build better infrastructure in the future to protect its prized livability status.

“Fifteen years ago Rod Eddington told us we would need an underground railway line, an east-west link, and to duplicate the West Gate,” Cr Doyle said.

“Those needs remain today.”

Committee for Melbourne CEO Kate Roffey said great cities did not happen by chance.

“There are always questions about rankings, and in particular how and what they measure, but there is no doubt the EIU ranking is the one cities around the world look to as the best marker of prosperity and livability, and to come out on top again is a significant achievement”, Ms Roffey said.

Jon Copestake, editor of the survey, warned that the terror attack in Sydney could potentially affect Australian cities rankings in future.

Acts of terror and civil unrest saw more than a fifth of cities surveyed experience declines in livability over the past year.

Melbourne’s low crime rate was a factor in the city’s high ranking.

Australia’s higher terror alert level following the Sydney siege could affect future scores.

“The hostage siege in Sydney late last year has put Australia on a high terror alert which could affect future scores,” he said.

The report says the best scoring cities tend to be mid-sized cities in wealthier countries with a relatively low population density.

Global business centres such as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo were victims of their own success with overstretched infrastructure and higher crime rates.

Melbourne’s low murder rate was key in the city retaining top spot.

“Although crime rates are perceived as rising in Australia, the state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located, recorded just 82 homicide offences in 2013/14, a decrease of 11.8 per cent from the previous year,” the report says.

The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Ranking rated 140 cities in the areas of stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

The survey gives an overall rating of 0-100, where one is intolerable and 100 is ideal.

Damascus in Syria was the lowest scoring city in the survey with a score of 29.3.

Hi, anyone going for the application day this Saturday?

Just like to ask if Monash students still can use the facilities from Sunway university?

I doubt so since they r no longer related.
