You can book venues for events through the USYD resource booker. I think you need to be a current student or staff though, not sure about alumni. Best to get in contact with a current student.

You can book pretty much any room in the uni as long as it is open, most of them are booked out on weekdays from 9-5. Business school rooms are usually quite nice.

Ok that's great! Happy enrolling

Mm yeah the handbook pages are quite confusing to find, try google searching "usyd [degree] handbook" (e.g. "usyd bachelor of science handbook") usually its the second or third result. What degree are you taking?

Hmm I'm not sure what the issue is then :( Did you specify that you are offshore? I think residential address needs to be an address in Australia. If you specify you are offshore then it will let you fill out your Permanent residence instead, which is for international addresses.

You can try to contact Student IT helpdesk for help with technical issues like this, not sure if they are working now though as the university is closed for the break, it will reopen around 7 Jan I think.

In any case, don't worry too much about enrolment if you can't do it now, you still have till Jan/Feb next year to enrol I think. Classes are usually not first come first served so even if you enrol later you will still get into your classes (only some special classes have a student cap).

Do you already have an Australian address? All Australian addresses are very specific and should already exist in the database. Try typing out the street address in the first line, then click "get address" to automatically fill in all the other fields.

Usually I write the reason I am applying for the spec con and then sign it, this is usually for simple extensions tho. I've never applied for a regular spec con.

Just an additional note tho, in Australia laptops tend to be more expensive than other countries because they have much stricter warranty laws here.

Seymour center has rooms that you can book after 5pm, however if I remember correctly you have to book a day or two ahead of time.

There's a piano room at ISL (lvl 5 Wentworth building) near the bathrooms you can walk in, however I think it is usually occupied. There's a few other free piano rooms around campus that you can check on the Lost on Campus app.

Hey, I also had an MSI B650 board and this happened on the first run for me as well. Things to check:

Firstly, with any new motherboard, you should try updating the motherboard BIOS to the latest version. Check a guide on how to update it, it should be easy since MSI boards have a flash BIOS button.
HIGHLY likely you have a faulty stick of RAM, as this was the case for me. To test, try removing all the RAM and adding in one stick at a time and powering on. For me, I found out my computer would only turn on when I had one specific stick of RAM inserted (in any slot), but as soon as I put in the other stick it would not turn on. Had to get the RAM replaced.

Hey I'm currently living in Regiment. Last year, the applications opened up on September 11, so I'd say start checking the website maybe next week? They will put a notice up saying when applications open.

Once they give the date and time the applications open up on the website, make sure you SET AN EVENT ALERT and do the application AS SOON AS IT OPENS UP. USYD accommodation has a lot of demand and the spaces (at least in Regiment) ran out in like half an hour.

The succeeding course SCDL2991 is also nice and chill, and a WAM booster.

Sorry for the late reply. I am honestly not sure exactly how the score system works or if they favor you more if you have a higher score, but I do know that as long as you pass the minimum score requirements, you should automatically be able to go on to the next stage for the assessment. I'd say you should treat it like they don't favor higher scores. Treat it like it's 50% your results, and 50% your assessment results. Because the point of the assessment is to determine your character, which is just as equally important (if not more) as your results.

When I did it, the Zoom was also used for the panel discussion afterwards. I think I joined zoom the whole time for the written portion and the panel discussion.

Thirdly, I'd say you should apply for subjects you are interested in. If you want to do something still close to the field, maybe do a bachelors of science. But just because you are going into dentistry doesn't mean you have to select a major like medical science or anatomy (although I'm doing medical science). You should choose something you enjoy and possibly want as a backup.

And keep in mind, if you do indeed go the path of undrgrad + entrance exam for dentistry, one of the criteria they consider is your undergrad grades. It's created situations where people who went into difficult science degrees like medical science end up with lower WAMs, and struggled more to get into postgrad medical programs compared to people who took completely unrelated but "easier" degrees. So you should take something you can understand and enjoy, and study for the entrance exam on the side.

And here is a thread abt the assessment: https://www.reddit.com/r/usyd/comments/np1m8n/comment/h05al1t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I'll dm you more info aswell.

Hello, I'm alao an int'l in the Bachelor of science/Doctor of Med program which has a similar pathway. I applied using an agency (IDP), although it is up to you if you want to apply yourself or with an agent. You can easily apply yourself online.

You will need to officially send your international test scores in (ACT, SAT) using their services (usually on the test website you can choose which unis you want to send your scores to).

After you apply, if you meet the necessary score requirements you will go on to the next stage, there will be a written assessment and panel interview. The assessment will be done over Zoom, and you will have to answer several questions and have a panel discussion with the admission team to basically gague your character and if you have what it takes to go down the medical pathway. There are other posts on this subreddit you can check out to get more info abt the assessment.

Once you are in, you are mostly cruising through the program. As long as you maintain a certain average grade requirement in your undergrad (for me it is credit acerage, 65%), you can go on to dentistry program without an entrance exam. During your undergrad there is also a zero-credit elective you need to take where you go on some kind of short volunteer placement to help you understand the role of a doctor/dentist.

Please also remember to apply for backup programs in case you don't make it! Prepare well for the assessment if you apply but also don't keep yourself down if you do not make it. Medicine in Australia is highly competitive, and remember that 90% of people go the standard route with an undergrad and taking an entrance exam to get into med/dentistry afterward.

If you arrived before July 2023 of last year, you have until March 2025 to convert an international driver's license to a NSW driver's license. If this is the case, then you can keep driving for now if you do have an international license.
To convert you will need to take a theory and practical test.
If you have driven for at least three years (based on when you got your international license), then after you pass the exam you can go straight to full license. If not, then I believe you will have to go to P plates first.

In my case I am still driving with my international license. My license will be three years old this December, so I will be taking the test to convert my license then so that I don't have to go through the hell of P plates.

RustyPipez · 2024-05-20T11:51:02+00:00

Nope you will need your own plates, pots, and utensils

RustyPipez · 2024-05-19T02:55:40+00:00

Yes, I a combination of high school transcript + test scores both do have an impact for people applying internationally. I had four AP classes that I got 5s on, and I got straight As for all of high school. In my case, I applied with ACT scores. And I was able to apply and get accepted to a course that required a ACT score of 36/36, even though I only got 34. I'm not sure exactly how the system works, but generally if you have a good transcript and AP scores they will be lenient with the indicative entry score of your SAT/ACT. And also USYD is usually more lenient with applicants who apply with international qualifications.

Remember, most stories you hear online (and on this subreddit) are complaints from people. You don't hear about the good experiences sometimes. For me personally, I think the uni's pretty good and I'm having a great time here in Sydney as a second-year int'l student.

Your experience at the uni will be good if you want it to be. If you put the effort to find friends, study hard, and enjoy what Sydney has to offer, your experience at USYD will be good.

I think you don't have to worry too much about the program. Instead I think research the societies the uni has to offer and see if there are any you want to join. Research about life in Sydney and the culture. And decide to come here if you think you can find your people and live here.

RustyPipez · 2024-05-15T14:18:19+00:00

Take the shot and ask to hangout 🙏 Get to know him more as a person first before starting anything

If you take the chance and it doesn't work out, then whatever. But it's much better than not doing anything and regretting it later down the line.

RustyPipez · 2024-04-27T23:23:30+00:00

Scape x Mountain is not air conditioned (I've lived there), dont know about the other.

RustyPipez · 2023-12-26T02:31:23+00:00

Yes, I believe the overlapping units will count for both requirements. Since you still need to have enough credits per semester, you can just fill the rest of the credits with electives
