Friendly reminder

334 Upvotes

Hi all,

So it looks like every uni subreddit has been a bit weird recently (the top post on r/usyd right now is something related to femboys).

This is just a PSA to keep things UNSW-related. There was a meme on the front page a day or two ago that was literally just clash of clans, that sort of stuff we're going to remove from now on. Check out the subreddit rules on the wiki for more info.

Also, a reminder that discriminatory/ derogatory posts are never allowed. Same goes for harassment/those creepy posts from people looking to hook up that have popped up recently. Anyone posting this kind of content will be banned without warning. Please report these kinds of posts if you see them so we can remove them as soon as possible.

Enjoy flexi-week,

the r/UNSW mod team

Societies I built a site that puts every UNSW event in one place (and course reviews too)

115 Upvotes

2nd year at UniMelb here. Info about uni is scattered everywhere, so every time I had to dig through a bunch of different sites, and Rate My Professors barely covers Australia. unsw.talkwalll.com(also an app TalkWall)

It’s collected 1,100+ events and 50,000+ reviews so far, rated course/professor on usefulness, difficulty and whether people would take it again. You can also filter events by your major or interests, so you only see the ones that matter to you.

It’s free, with no ads, and I made auto translate so international students can be part of the community as well.

Accomodation UNSW commuting, anyone commute from redfern?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, starting at unsw next year and I found a place near redfern, it's like a 20-30 minute commute by bus to the uni. Anyone do a commute like that? Is it worth looking for more options closer to uni or no? If anyone has any advice or experience that would be awesome, Thank you very much!

UNSW murders

I just watched this on YouTube. There was apparently a double murder of two UNSW students in 2003. To this day, nobody has been convicted for this crime. Has anyone heard of this? My older sister remembers this being on the news but I think I was too young to understand then. Do you guys know of any other serious crimes that involved UNSW students?

Comp3411 discussion

8 Upvotes

Anyone who done comp3411 discussion know how it is like. I did all my own code myself but for the love of me the starter code is so long and i get the main idea but i dont know specifically how it works.

Are they pedantic about that stuff or do i just got to learn how 300 + lines of code work even though i didn't write them?

Also any idea how long the session is, and if they mark your whole assignment while you are next to them in discussion.

ANU OR UNSW FOR COMPUTING/CS ?

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

I'm currently deciding between ANU and UNSW for my undergraduate studies, and my parents want me to choose one of these two universities.

I'm planning to study Cybersecurity or Information Systems. If I choose ANU, the major would be BComp (I will apply for honours in the future), and for UNSW it would be AACS.

I've been researching both universities, but I'm still struggling to decide. ANU appeals to me because of its campus, environment, and overall atmosphere, while UNSW seems to offer better internship opportunities.

Thanks for helping me !

LOST AT UNSW — AUD $300 REWARD

I may have left my DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro in Mathews Theatre B (K-D23-203) on 6 Oct, 11am–2pm. It had a handheld pole and original protective frame, no bag.

It contains precious videos of me and my girlfriend. I mainly want the videos back: $300 for returning the memory card or a complete copy of the original videos.

Please don’t delete or format anything.

Found it or know where it was handed in? Please DM me. Please share!
