What sort of review you require ? In general UNSW has the highest number of International Students in Sydney maybe in Australia as well and it has an asian flavour to it, plenty of asians  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif . As been mentioned UNSW Engineering + Commerce are very well established and renowned for its quality.

There are a few lowyatians currently enrolled in UNSW I think in Engineering but not in Medicine though.  tongue.gif

Commencing in feb...hence need some tips of survival there...haha...dunno which to choose, unsw or utas to study medicine. sydney has too high a living cost man.

YES! Finally, more people here coming to UNSW. We are observing an 18% increase in international applications this coming session, one of the strongest increase ever seen.

Learn to enjoy sausages, pizzas and beer. In the first few weeks of uni, you'll be fed this a LOT. Be here early (although CNY is late this year sad.gif ), preferably a couple of weeks before orientation to settle down and familiarise yourself with the surrounding suburbs. Enrol now (you can do it online) before classes are filled up. Do not use the auto-timetabling feature, instead plan your classes well. The new, centralised timetabling system has caused quite a lot of tears on this end due to some nasty clashes. If you have an unavoidable clash, contact the lecturer and course administrators as quickly as possible because it may be difficult to resolve such issues.
During orientation and first week of uni, get to know as many people in your course as possible. Surviving uni is a lot about socialising as it is about academic achievements. Spend some time travelling (although every suburb here's almost the same) because when uni starts, you might not have the time to do so.

Hi guys,

For those who're going to UQ for this Febuary intake, why not we have a yamcha sesssion or gathering b4 going there? We will get to know each other better and not to mention, taking care of each other upon reaching there.

So far me and superlfc are in? Anyone else interested?

bank : ANZ, CBA, NAB and westpac.

better option : CBA or ANZ
for intl money transfer : HSBC or Citibank, safe cost if you have hsbc malaysia..

MOBILE: 3G, Optus, Telstra

3G...is a company that sell hp plan same as optus and telstra

Go for prepaid as you dont need plan...those plan is a rip off if you do calculation smile.gif I suggest optus ...it depend on what is your need

Of course not! Sydney > Melbourne. Yes, I know this will incite flames in here, but I just say it for the heck of it anyway. tongue.gif

I'm at UNSW Commerce too, combining it with my Engineering program. Gonna do ECON1101 this coming session.

yahlo...from what i see, ALOT choose melb over unsw...i also dunno y...which is better actually?

QUOTE(nyprinz83 @ Jan 15 2007, 07:54 PM)
Yes it is ok for you to open a streamline account and since you are an undergraduate you are not charged the monthly fee of $5. You will be provided with atm card not sure about cheque have not used one before as everything in Australia do it online  biggrin.gif . Netbank fastsaver is good as long as you have money in there you will get interest and if your normal streamline account running low you can quickly transfer it from fastsaver.
*
owh...wil i get a credit card from streamline?or netbank?cuz i need to pay for my accomodation...that interest from netbank fastsaver is good right...how to bring money over when i first go to aussieland? hmm.gif
