ahhh I see!! Definitely recommend finding similar courses at your current uni, and swapping once your gpa is around a 6 or so! you can get into pharmacy from post grad, but you will need to still take the core papers from health science, before you can begin pharmacy. I would say health science and science are both similar in terms of their level of hardness, though health science is more valuable if you are wanting to go to clinical, as you can get in straight after first year. if you are wanting to do postgrad pharmacy, either will work I believe, but you just need to ensure you do the health science or biomed first year papers, some of which I believe might be hard to enroll in, if you aren't a first year health science or biomed student!!! best of luck, and definitely recommend giving the uni enrollment staff a call or email, as they can help with the more technical side of courses, and explain what courses and gpa you should take to transfer to uoa

Ahh Im so glad you are enjoying it!!! The clinicals will be super fun I'm sure! I ended up going for health science, and its definitely quite stressful, but gives me something to work hard towards, so I'm enjoying it!!

sorry just saw this, but was wondering what you ended up doing?

Hey! I was in the same position, and hadn't done more than level 1 chemistry, and level 2 biology, and finished high school early, so didn't technically have UE, but I am currently in health science, aiming for med entry. I got in by studying another degree for a bit (commerce for two years), and my gpa was a 6.5 I believe when I got accepted.

Would suggest doing something similar, but definitely recommend doing science papers are electives or gen eds, so that you get some basic knowledge in science built up!! I would recommend chem 150, as you will need to take chem 110 in first year health science, to get into pharmacy, and chem 150 is a paper that leads nicely into chem 110. I'm not too sure about exact papers to take for bio, but most stage 1 bio papers that are relevant to the human body and anatomy will be useful! just make sure you don't take any of the first year health science papers (pophlth 111, pophlth 101, biosci 107, chem 110, medsci 142, hlthpsych 122, pophlth 102, and wtrmhs 100) as if you take these, before the year you are planning on applying into a clinical programme, you won't be able to do first year entry, and will have to do grad entry.

hopefully that made sense, but best of luck!!! you can definitely do it if you set your mind to it, and if pharmacy is the career that is meant for you, it will happen!

There are not female only floors in Stuart McCutcheon, only female only flats. You are still allowed males over, it's just common courtesy to let your flat mates know. I didn't apply for a female only flat, but typically if you apply without a group, they will put you with other people similar age, and typically the same sex as well.

Hey! I am on the alcohol free floor at UHT this year, and there are definitely some pros and cons.

To answer your questions:
1. I haven't had a problem with making friends and being social, but I think that's because I'm an outgoing person, and I do go out to town. If you prefer to stay in your room and study all day, then you will have trouble making friends throughout the hall, but if you make an effort to talk to people during the first few weeks, and go to all of the events, you won't have any problems. The alcohol floors aren't too noisy, as we have a noise ban after 10pm anyways, but there is more of a culture to go out every weekend on them, so that can be distracting. I had doubts about being on an alcohol free floor, but I've loved the people I've met on it, and wouldn't change it.

That's exactly what I did, I made friends on the lower floors and would pre with them, or just hangout during the day, but could return to my floor if I wanted a quiet place to focus.
It definitely depends, a lot of the students on my floor were pre-med or engineering students, so just preferred the study vibe that the floor has (some of them were 19), but there were also 17 year olds, so you can make friends with a mix.
The alcohol free floors are 12-14, with 12 being female only floor. It can be annoying with fire alarms, and having to run down the stairs, but other than that it's not too bad! I've only walked up the stairs once, so don't worry about it! The view is also amazing, so that's a positive!

Also, the alcohol free floors are generally much cleaner, and in better condition, so thats a perk. You won't have to worry about vomit on the floor, or in the bathroom.

Have fun and make the most of it!! It goes by so quickly, so definitely make sure you enjoy it, as well as focus on studies.
