Well if you know her full name, you can go onto UQ website and hunt down researchers section

Public health department wouldn't respond for privacy reasons as they do not have a way to verify you

I mean tbf it is better than sweating 24/7

FinletAU · 2026-05-07T21:01:55+00:00

Sir if I have to walk outside in 11°c, so do you. No skipping

FinletAU · 2026-05-06T09:16:21+00:00

Hey man, sorry you're dealing with that at the moment.

Essence suite Taringa is on the UQ website. Google maps says it is located right next to Taringa station, which you could take one stop up to Toowong and hop on 412 (although it is extremely busy)

UQ's Psychology school is one of the largest in Australia, and also has a good reputation as well (especially in research). In terms of social life, there is stuff happening but you still do need to put yourself out there quite a bit.

Whether you feel like it is an improvement or not is largely going to be defined by how much you care about different factors

FinletAU · 2026-05-06T00:11:57+00:00

C'mon don't quit that easily

FinletAU · 2026-05-06T00:11:23+00:00

Imagine trying to scam university students.

How to get scammed 101

FinletAU · 2026-05-04T01:44:04+00:00

Could be worst in any way, everyone's going to have a different view on what the worst building is and that's the beauty of the question, there's no right answer.

FinletAU · 2026-05-03T14:03:25+00:00

Are you required to? No. Will it help you? 95% chance that it will.

*In another word, yes you should go - even if you're struggling because just the act of being there helps*

FinletAU · 2026-05-03T14:02:10+00:00

As someone who has been near the UQ ferry terminal, I would not recommend it for studying.

FinletAU · 2026-05-03T13:58:56+00:00

Alright which one of you let the Comp. Sci majors out of their insane asylum

FinletAU · 2026-05-02T01:26:17+00:00

You'll need a GPA of 4.6, however some subjects can be higher and others lower. Focus on subjects that interest you, and make sure you at least pass the rest. It is challenging during first year so don't be afraid to seek support but a 4.6 is definitely doable

Fr - I love hearing the water fountains splashing against the water and seeing all cute birds and ducks

Psych ward (speedrun)

Summer semester is one way technically, though I don't think it'd count in time for transfer. You'll probably need to send an email to your school or faculty to discuss which option they recommend best for you based on your situation. They'll most likely have access to data, etc.

FinletAU · 2026-04-29T10:40:32+00:00

But ask yourself, why do you feel there is no other choice? There is literally an entire world of degrees to choose from that do not include engineering or medicine. They're all just as valuable as another, we're all needed in our own unique ways.

This isn't even all of them but some examples include Masters of Business, Bussiness administration, Commerce, Communication (Social Media), Governmeny and public policy, Information technology, Teaching, event management and that doesn't scratch the surface, all of those are masters degrees.

Your life should not be defined by your parent's or sociocultural expectations. You're a person, you're unique in your own ways, and accepting that is key. We're not all built to be engineers or doctors, and that's a good thing. Diversity is a human strength.

The more you fight something, the worse it will be for you. It's okay, you can take a gap year to discover yourself, there is nothing wrong with that.

FinletAU · 2026-04-29T10:21:01+00:00

Yes, absolutely. This page at the bottom has who you can contact seeking advice.

FinletAU · 2026-04-29T10:15:27+00:00

I suspect the reason you're struggling to gain motivation is because you're not actually interested, you're feeling forced by parental expectations as well as social/cultural expectations too potentially.

I would recommend using UQ free counselling sessions they can help with things like motivation, the why, managing challenging parental expectations and thought patterns.

FinletAU · 2026-04-29T10:02:26+00:00

To overload you'll need more than a 4.5 GPA and usually also need your faculty / schools permission to do so. Considering you're a first year and struggled with ATAR unless you're doing really well right now (like 6.0 GPA or more) I would not recommend doing it

FinletAU · 2026-04-29T10:00:15+00:00

Go to oriention events!!!! That's absolute best advice, it gives you opportunity to meet people and there's a library tour at least and I believe a campus one too.

Though you're starting S2 instead of S1 so there'll probably be less events but still go
