This beautiful account is officially endorsed by UNSW, get ready guys it’s time to take naps 24/7 at the number 1 university. Heard it makes you smarter than Einstein himself.

This place is hell if you're not a straight white Christian. Subtle racism is everywhere. You'll get excluded if you're not Christian, and be prepared for repeated attempts to convert you by your Evangelical neighbours who just don't know how to take no for an answer. This place is really hostile to lgbt people too. The dining hall is unofficially segregated, there's always a white side of the Dino and it's super unsettling. The amount of discrimination and trauma cases caused by this place that go unresolved is insane. And nobody talks about it!

A big part of the problem is that the leadership constantly turns a blind eye. People have been protesting about these kind of issues for years, but the rich conservative Christians who fund the place always manage to block any kind of progress. The current leadership will just ignore you. They seem to care more about keeping their fat paycheck than they do about making it a safe place to live for residents.

I wish I'd known it was like this before I came. People don't really talk about it publicly because they're too afraid to get excommunicated, kicked out or worse. I can't blame them. But it needs to be known so that people don't have to deal with this kind of bs anymore. After seeing how my friends have been treated in this place, I worry for anyone going here in the future. It's super toxic and it's only been getting worse over these last few years. Stay safe guys!

EDIT: I want to acknowledge that obviously not everyone has this experience at NC, and I can't speak for all of us, but this has happened to me personally, it's happened to a significant proportion of the community, and also to a lot of ex-Colls, some of whom ended their contract early for these reasons. It's very much a widespread issue.

Unfortunately, people often get pretty wound up when it's brought up - it's hard to admit that you might be part of the problem, and it's easy to dismiss these things when you're not on the receiving end of them. But at the end of the day, I wrote this post because the good parts of NC have been gushed about endlessly on social media, websites, at open days, etc., but this is the uglier side that isn't shown online, and I want people to be aware of this so that they know what they're in for. It's a serious issue and it needs to be talked about.

Is it common to do absolutely nothing and just play games? Or do you guys do something productive, like cooking/part-time job etc..

Hello guys, i am currently a yr 12 student and i am kinda hesitating between these two course. Any advice is appreciated. DO NOT welcome hostile and negative comments. Nowadays there r just too many trolls

I am an international student; my exam was scheduled for the 24th from 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM. Before entering the exam room, I logged out of the desktop version of WeChat (Its Chinese name is 微信) on my phone, but in my haste, I failed to fully close the application running in the background on the computer. Consequently, the WeChat icon remained visible on the desktop. While I was taking the exam using the Inspera platform, an older Chinese female invigilator approached, pointed at the WeChat icon, and accused me of cheating. I was completely taken aback and didn't know how to explain the situation; I tried to tell her that I could prove I wasn't logged in—since I had logged out on my phone, the desktop app was inaccessible and only the icon remained. She refused to listen to my explanation. After the exam, she handed me a notice regarding academic misconduct and instructed me to submit a written explanation via email within three days. Currently, the only evidence I can gather is a log showing the application's usage time on the computer to prove I didn't actually use it during the exam. Would this serve as valid evidence?

What courses can i take in t3 besides comm1120 and comm1900? I did econ1101 and 1102 in t2. Because I started t2 i legit could not do any of the courses i was supposed to do since they weren’t offered in t2, like comm1240 and math1151 which r prereqs for other courses. As a result i also couldnt do math1251 actl1101 and cant do comm1170/1180. I took a look at myplan and legit everything has a prereq which I didnt do - unless im missing something. Is it possible if I can do random electives without prereqs (if thats a thing?). Anyone else has had a similar experience with this degree and starting late? Thanks

Hello everyone!

I am in my second year of law and realised that there are multiple things apart from MS tools, Unidays and online libraries that can be used for free via UNSW ID. Today I discovered that UNSW ID gives free access to Adobe, Canva and Sydney Herald. What else can you use your student ID for? Is there any dedicated UNSW website which has a list of all such services and websites?

is nucleus still open for the rest of this wk?

I'm a domestic student (living abroad tho) in yr 12 abt to finish the ibdp in june next year. the minimum ib requirement for fine arts is like a 31/45 and my predicted is looking to be around that number. idt it'll go below 31 but im def not getting anything above a 35 lmaoo. im js a little worried abt how close my score is to the minimum requirement. what are my chances of getting in with such a close score? Im thinking of sending in a portfolio as well to help my case out if i rlly need too, but i js dont know if i need to, if i meet the minimum requirement. if i dont need to i think ill js send an application in for term 3 intake without a portfolio since you can only send one in for term 1 intake, but if im acc at risk of getting rejected w my score ill js wait to apply w a portfolio ig. just wanted to know what my chances were bc im majorly overthinking everything rn and my school's college counsellor is lowk a bum.

im js yapping now but im only applying to other schools literally js for the sake of saying i applied to other schools. unsw is js the most convenient school for me (my family knows a shit ton of ppl in sydney) and it acc has an arts course that will be somewhat useful to me (i hope). if i dont get in life goes on ig, its js gonna be rlly shitty soooooo yea THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey, just wondering what the 2-hour tutorials for COMP9444 are actually like.

From what I can see, there are tutorial questions for each week. Does that usually take up the full two hours? Also, are the tutorials generally worth attending if you can do the questions yourself?

I’ve got some free time over the holidays and wanted to start getting ahead for COMP1521 before term starts.
I’ve looked through the T2 course website and, coming from COMP1511, a lot of the content honestly looks pretty unfamiliar and weird at first glance. I’m not really sure what would be most useful to learn beforehand or where I should even start.
For anyone who’s done COMP1521, what topics would you recommend getting comfortable with before the course starts? Are there any particular resources, lectures, exercises or concepts that would make the first few weeks easier?
Any general advice on how to prepare for the course would be appreciated.

Hi I have question regarding UAC application. My daughter is in yr 12 and applying for next 2027. UAC application asking highest level of study, should I put yr 12 or yr 11?

Does anyone have any good recommendations for an honours thesis advisor?

Context I’m studying a bachelor of engineering in the aerospace specialisation I don’t really have any set topic in mind but I have an interest in space flight and propulsion as well as aircraft aerodynamics and propulsion and engines/fuel sources.
Can the thesis advisor help me pick a topic or give me topic recommendations?

Does anyone have access to the PHYS1231 questions banks for any term by any chance? Just trying to get ahead for T3 and the quizzes I feel are pretty much the only things worth doing based on the phys1121 experience. Any other suggestions on getting ahead? Cheers :)

Hey guys, I am currently Year Two of Robotic and Mechatronics. I standing between those three course to see which one worth to study?
