I made a free map of Sydney meals that are $15 or less, and there are 85 around campus, Newtown and Glebe so far. A few:

- Chips and feta wrap, $10.20, Carslaw Kitchen

- Fried chicken wrap, $9.50, Clem's Chicken Shop

- Pork roll, $10, Newtown Pork Roll

- Beef burger, $10, Hideout

- Handmade noodles with pork mince and bean sauce, $11.80, Dumpling Time

Each one has the full price, any catch, and whether it's open now. No ads, no sign-up to look: www.brokemap.com.au

There are definitely cheap spots around uni I haven't found. If you know one, add it (I check them before they go up), or flag a price that's changed.

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

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?

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 !

hi, i’ve had special considerations approved for a couple of classes where i was absent due to medical reasons. i was recently told by my unit coordinator for this class they don’t accept special considerations approvals for class absences and that i would need to take an alternative test because of it, which determines whether i absent fail the unit or not. i don’t know what criteria i need to achieve to ‘pass’ this because the test is very short, but i’m really anxious about it

i understand that no matter what i need to take this test not to fail, im not fighting against that. but i was wondering why special consideration isn’t a valid reason to miss a class? i’ve never had a unit coord tell me they don’t mark down my approved absences for classes and it makes me concerned about other students who might be in a similar situation — at this point, getting spec con and having it approved makes no difference. is this a thing in other units? is it worth talking to someone else higher up about it?

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?

how to convert my WAM to GPA for CA and US grad schools?

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!

Im a Little confused because it says on the website that I can apply with my sat score but does this mean I don’t need to submit my grades? My grades aren’t the strongest so I would prefer to submit my sat score. Also can I only submit sat score for the residential colleges aswell?
Thank you!

hello!
