Im currently in highschool and I was recently offered a studio at Kensington USYD. Tjeyre so fancy and nice… However, it is so incredibly expensive ($780 ish a week with early bird discount) and I don’t know if it’s worth it. Is that normal? That’s like $32k a year! Firstly, it’s a bit of a distance from the campus, and I understand that there is good transport and a free shuttle but I was hoping I’d get into Abercrombie or Regiment, something closer and cheaper. Why is it so expensive!? A different university is actually my first choice but the accomodation applications haven’t even come out for that school yet, so I’m not sure if Id be able to secure another place to live next year. Apparently all the accomodation in camperdown/darlington is completely FULL. What should I do? I could accept the offer but USYD isn’t my first choice and it’s a lot of money. Should I consider an outside accomodation provider? I really do want to live in a studio.

Edit: I’m also really confused as to why I didn’t receive an offer for my choices in Camperdown/Darlington. I literally applied within the first 20 minutes. Are they reserving accomodation for other students or was everyone else just faster?

Hi! We are Team GaeUn, currently researching college students’ sleep patterns and morning wake-up experiences.

Have you ever gone to bed early or gotten enough sleep, but still woken up thinking:

“Why don’t I feel refreshed?”

We are conducting a short survey to better understand how often college students experience unrefreshing mornings, how they currently deal with them, and to use these insights to develop a service that helps people wake up feeling more refreshed.

- Eligibility: Undergraduate and graduate students

- Time required: About 5 minutes

- Topics: Sleep habits, how refreshed you feel in the morning, and the methods you currently use to improve your sleep or wake-up experience

- Purpose: Customer validation and development of a service designed to help users have more refreshing mornings

- Survey period: 15–27, October 2026

We would really appreciate it if you could answer based on your actual experiences 🙌

Hey guys, I’m seeking advice on what you would do in my situation
I’m at the end of my first years of my degree. I do an arts degree and I enjoy my first major, but I just discontinued failed my second major which I only started this semester btw).
Overall I haven’t had an amazing time at University. I moved from a rural community to Sydney (domestic student), and although I’ve since made some great friends and I’m involved in a society, I just wake up miserable most days.
University seemed important to me as I’m the first in my family to go and I felt like I was ‘too smart’ to let my brains go to waste.
However, at the end of Highschool I was looking into other options in case I didn’t get into university/changed my mind. One of those options was the defence force.
The benefits and pay are good, and honestly, what are the chances of it making my life worse than it is now? I already have a few ideas of what jobs I’d go for, and I spoke to some recruiters last year so I have a good idea what the process is like.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do? I honestly feel so stuck, so if anyone has any advice or ideas, or even other options that I’m not thinking about, please lmk!

I want to complain about a unit co-ordinator (and the only lecturer/tutor in the course) — teaches a unit in the Law school.

Never properly prepared for classes, never goes through the actual content, just sits at the front and yaps about his own personal opinions for the 4 hours. Never listens to people's questions or answers them properly, and doesn't really even know the law that well (dodges basic questions students have).

Midsem assignment due 5.5 weeks ago but hasn't got it back to us yet. It's one class with 30 people...

Not really sure who to complain to. Dean? Complaints? Cheers

Hello,

I am an international student who will be attending university of sydney's masters of radiography program 2027.

I just have several questions regarding inherent requiremnets for the program, I appreciate anybody who can answer some of my questions.

1. I have not arrived in Australia yet, once I do, do I just sign up for a cpr program to get a certificate from the red cross before the program starts?

2. For national police checks, do I bring a criminal record from my current country ? (I have no criminal record)

3. I haven't received any details regarding the FMH Verification Sonia, who or what email can I ask questions regarding this process?

4. Im extremely excited to start the program in February, are there any other international students who would like to keep in touch to help each other out getting adjusted to the program requirements etc?

Its my first time going to Australia, just excited and anxious about how it will be.

Thank you for your time, as well as any responses.

Best of luck to other students attending the radiography program !

Hey everyone!

We're process of officially bringing the USYD Writing Society back to campus, and we’re building up our founding member list!

Whether you write fiction, poetry, screenplays, or casual essays or you just want a low-pressure, quiet space to sit with a coffee and draft alongside other creative people this society is for you. We’re planning regular writing sprints, prompt nights, casual feedback circles, coffee runs, and hopefully publishing a student zine down the track!

Looking for a Treasurer: Our core executive team is almost completely locked in, but we have one last core role available for a Treasurer! If you have a background or interest in Finance, Commerce, or basic budgeting, we’d love to have you on the team. It’s a super manageable commitment (~1-2 hours a week) and a great leadership title to add to your resume for 2027.

Want to join as a member or apply for Treasurer?

Hi, i'm currently in year 12 and have received early entry into bachelor of biomed. My end goal is Bachelors of Oral health but I know it is very competitive. I don't believe i'll get a high enough atar to get into Bachelors of Oral health first try (as i'm an average student) and was wondering if I did biomed would I be able to transfer after a semester/year? or would i need to complete the whole 3 year course. OR if that is all a waste and i should look into other ways to transfer into it. I only have 3 unis as options (UON, USYD and Charles strut) but Charles strut is so far from me I wouldn't prefer going there. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Hi everyone, I was in Fisher library today and think I lost an earring with a green gem in it that has great sentimental value. If anyone has seen it please let me know really hoping I find it!
