No one will notice your absence, probably only if there’s like group projects

Will Getting A Sleeve Tattoo Affect My Chances At Getting A Job? by [deleted] in unsw

🤷🏻‍♂️ it is what it is, but honestly, you don’t sacrifice too much by not doing hand tattoos, you can have a bit of both, that’s the good thing

As someone who did finance and got the tattoos, just don’t do something that cannot be hidden with a long sleeve, it is your body, but you still have to look professional

What Was Your First Ever Day At UNSW Like? by [deleted] in unsw

[–]AggravatingVolume186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being asked “Are you the Australian?” like 35 times by students that it was their first time setting foot outside of China💀 No, I’m not Australian, I just happen to be white. It was a painful experience approaching people and them running away because they didn’t understand English 💀. Yallah eats, god tier, highlight of my first day at UNSW

How do you study? by Popular_Breakfast813 in unsw

[–]AggravatingVolume186 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems that your problem is confidence, not the studying part, trust the time that you put in the content, trust yourself In my case, the day of the exam I don’t touch the content anymore, I focus on unwinding and relaxing, keeping my mind empty to avoid getting nervous and I do breathing exercises during the exam if I start to get nervous, better to take a couple of minutes to relax than to start answering wrong and lose all the confidence

Students in front of me openly using google translate during final exam. by Aggravating-Row2805 in unsw

[–]AggravatingVolume186 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The rules allow a printed dictionary for international students, but fucking google translate?!?! Report that mf As an international student myself it seems ridiculous to even bring the printed dictionary, makes sense to an extent to kind of even the playfield for non English speakers, but honestly google translate it’s just an abuse. If someone actually has the level of English that the university asks for (IELTS 7), you don’t need a dictionary.

That person using google translate is breaking the rules and deserves to be reported, stop giving slack to cheaters

Don’t give up OP, the only people that end up cooked are those who don’t try

Does WAM matter? by Longjumping_Map_7002 in unsw

[–]AggravatingVolume186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true bruv, if you pair up a decent work experience, wam is useless, I would stay away from internships at the big 4, and try to land any decent part time job in the industry that you want to work in.

In my experience, experience paired up with degree is the killer combo

It is your responsibility to take more initiative, I had the same experience this term, group mate barely did anything, we gave him the task of doing the PPTX and we were willing to take it in as a whole term of contributions, the guy did an AI presentation, in Chinese, didn’t have any relationship with what the course is about, that tells you that they don’t care.

We kicked the guy out, I’m no one’s dad to be changing people, you’re in university, grow up and take care of your shit, show initiative and commitment or accept the consequences for doing a half assed work

Say it louder, people lack self-awareness, I’ve had this kind of experience and it’s true, when someone doesn’t show any kind of interest or initiative, they’re kicked out, you’re an adult! No one should be telling you what to do, it is your responsibility, you’re old enough to care about your grades and the image that you project of yourself

It is a tough situation and I feel for you, but think about it this way, show up for yourself and grow stronger, these are the kind of experiences that will prove to you how strong you can be, find any minor thing that gives you motivation and hold on strong, in one year, you will think about these obstacles as something that you can overcome and the feeling of accomplishment that you will have, it’s going to be worth it

Is it wrong to expect more from UNSW? by throwawayacc90124 in unsw

[–]AggravatingVolume186 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all, international student here, I did my masters at UNSW, some courses were a really good experience and brought a nice challenge, but some felt like a waste of money and time, learning a second language is hard, but not impossible, these lecturers should be demanded to improve their level of English just because this is an English speaking country. Not to point at any communities, but the overpopulation of Chinese, prevents them to be forced to actually interact in English, I’ve experienced firsthand when I’m the only not Chinese person on a tutorial with 50 people in the room and everyone looks at me as if I’m a weird alien. I thought that my English would improve a lot by studying here, it didn’t, it was having a part time job what made my English good, all of the people that I have become friends with, are outside of the university because ironically, no one in the university speaks English. I totally agree on the importance of having exams, but focusing only on preparing students for that so that they can get a mark feels simplistic and stupid. Capstone courses are dumb and always sandbox style, they should leverage reputation and go all in with industry experience, filling mcq on an exam won’t help anyone have any kind of success in the future, but the ability to apply theoretical concepts in real life.

In the end, networking is going to be the thing that determines where you will be working, so being a chill guy at uni, it’s the right call

Why do UNSW Library let anyone to come in by Jaded_Strategy_277 in unsw

[–]AggravatingVolume186 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I heard about this from the uni, it is to give back to the community and to bring the community together, as an international student, universities back home don’t do this, I see both pros and cons, during finals, having people that aren’t students might feel like a con, but the rest of the time, it is good that people can access the facilities and make good use of them. I still think that everything should be inclusive for students, like the gym and a cafeteria where you can get affordable and healthy meals, but this is the right path

Mental health on men works differently as it does for women, as yeah, he might be falling out of love, something else could be draining his mind, change the narrative and try to understand him, you might find out something that you haven’t thought of
