welcome. i will join the same time too.

I did do accounts before but it was only for my O levels so I hope that'll help in some way or another haha How's the schools atmosphere?

Oh sztan, what course did you apply for?

school atmosphere in what sense?

pharmacy. school atmosphere...no civil war so far..

any 1 here goin for student exchange??

School atmosphere in a sense of how's the students there and all? And, I heard that the orientations are quite bad..is that true?

I might consider going for student exchange in my second year

yeah... going. but haven't received my offer letter yet. you attended the briefing the other day?

i'm doing pharmacy btw.

u going next sem? can't see you liao then.

yea me too, i attended the briefing...and still waiting for the offer letter =(..

im doin biz and commerce

eh baoz...how much u scored to qualify for that exchange program?

hm. my average around 73. basically not a matter of getting top 5 or top 10 in class. it's a matter of who is applying. if all the smart one apply, then difficult to get. lucky for me, not many interested to go to Aus so I can get it.

hmmm. why not interested? i heard the pharm campus is a bit ulu though.

well.. there are various reasons why people are not interest. the atmosphere in sunway is nice. i personally don't want to go if not for my parents.

pharm campus is ulu? you're kidding me. the pharm campus in Australia is right in Melbourne city. Compared to all the other Monash campuses, it's the place with most facilities already.

eh? that WG told me its at ulu place. =S claufield is it? hmmm. u will be going for one semester right? 6 months?

ahh... looks like you need to do some background reading on our pharmacy program.

the campus is at Parkville.

and yeah going for 1 semester/6 months.

oh parkville. ><

i see i see...but there are some electives offered there which are not offered here right? and vice versa. for the 3rd year programme one. so parkville is in the middle of melbourne la?

Under the new syllabus the electives are the same for both sides. Last I checked, both campuses are offering the same electives except for ONE elective which only Sunway has and another elective which only Parkville offers. Either way, the semester where I exchange to Parkville is NOT the semester where I will be doing my electives. So makes no difference as I will have to do my electives in Sunway.

Yes, Parkville is in Melbourne CBD. Right across Melbourne Uni.

was refering to this: for 3rd year 2nd sem one.

PAC3542 Leadership*
PAC3552 Community engagement**
PSC3032 Current aspects of pharmaceutical biology*
PSC3112 Drug discovery and development*

* Parkville campus only.

** Sunway campus only.

ohhhh...so nearby a...interesting... so can you choose which sem to apply for?

PSC units are of the old syllabus which no longer applies to our batch onwards. All our units are quoted as 'PAC'..

Elective can only be done in 3rd yr 2nd sem or summer semester.. Depending on the unit itself.. So we can't choose actually.

What do you mean by 'which sem to apply for'..? U mean the exchange? Only 2nd yr 2nd sem OR 3rd yr 1st sem. Definitely people will apply for the former cos they're eager to go and it's in winter
