I've got into a team for unigames / uni sport nationals and I'm kinda wondering what it's like. I've heard that it gets pretty rowdy but I'm confused how that happens if people are playing sport all day.

Are there events at night time? Do people go out at night and just meet other students? Or are people just getting rowdy within their uni accommodation?

I'm so intrigued, just wanting to know what I'm in for.

Hello!

Just looking to get some info about undergrad tutorials that would work for somebody working 9-5 full time. I partially completed about two-thirds of my course a few years ago, but a family tragedy forced me to set it aside while I moved back home for a while, and after I came back to Melbourne I applied to a few jobs while I waited for the semester to resume and ended up getting a job in the exact field I wanted to work in after my degree anyway - So I just kept taking leave of absences and deferring it for about two years now because I figured getting a job like this was the exact reason I was studying anyway, so it makes no sense to drop working to study.

I'm still working in that field and have no intention of quitting but I have always had every intention of finishing my degree, but I am now getting to the point where if I dont start completing some units I will likely hit the 8 year limit. Do any students in the B-Arts have any insight on how many subjects offer tutorials after ~5:30 to 6pm? Or possibly even at 8am? I work in the CBD so doing a tutorial around those times is feasible.

My major was going to be Politics and Media/Comms, but at this point in the interest of optimizing I'm probably going to cut the Media/Comms major.

There used to be that rohyl.lookahead website which would have been perfect for finding this out but that seems to be down and I cant find a replacement

I've still got a couple of breadth points to hit so if you're in another faculty or doing a different major it'd be neat to know

As well I was looking to find out if anybody had applied to get an extension of that 8 year limit before? The university has been fully supportive of the issues in my family that have impacted my studies, and I figured other students receiving significant special consideration may have looked into this before.

I run the anti-okta account and I just want to clarify some things. It is a joke account that posts hyperbolic statements for comedic value.

For the past few weeks, I've been bantering with some pro-Okta ragebait accounts. They post ridiculous content about how passionately they love Okta Verify and how I'm being paid by other verification apps. Therefore I saw the pro-Okta Reddit post and thought "this is another meme post, I'll think of some funny response", so I joked about mass-reporting it to get it banned.

Obviously the Reddit post violated no rules, and it's wrong to target individuals based on their opinions. I do not intend to promote cyberbullying of any kind, and I apologise for the all the harm done. Given the account's large following, I'll ensure to post more responsibly in the future.

Uni is a stressful experience, and I'm just trying to do some silly stuff to brighten people up a bit. However, I have received angry comments from people demanding me to protest about more serious issues like veganism, weapons ties, etc. Even though they tell me to protest about this or that, I have not seen them protest themselves. Each time I have protested, the south lawn has been empty.

Lastly, I'm not a 'spoilt rich kid' with 'ruling class parents' (as if they're brutal dictators or something). I'm just a regular guy that's a bit stressed from my coursework.

Hey all. I'm really asking this for all Melbourne universities, but this subreddit seems to have the biggest userbase, so I figured I'd ask it here.

I graduated from a bachelor of arts without honours at Unimelb in 2020 - I took five years off for life reasons I won't get into. I majored in philosophy, and was looking to scuttle across into an English Masters by Research -> PhD pathway. I definitely got the grades in undergrad for an easy entry, so I'm covered there, and am friendly with a lot of local academics, so I know the supervisors I'd speak to - however, Masters by Research degrees all seem to require an honours project or other research experience as a prerequisite, and after five years away, I believe I'd have to start a new Bachelor degree to do honours. Are there any pathways to entry besides this, or am I screwed?

If it helps, I've published several book reviews in major literary magazines and have had fiction and poetry published elsewhere.

Hey everyone,

I’m in my first semester doing a Bachelor of Arts at UniMelb, majoring in Economics. I’m planning to apply for an internal transfer to Commerce — ideally for Semester 2 or next year.

Right now I’m taking 4 subjects:

• ECON10004
• ECON10005
• AHIS10001
• JAPN10001

To be honest, both econ subjects are going really well — they’re not too difficult, and I feel confident I can get good marks. But Japanese is kind of killing me. It takes up way more time than I expected, and I’m worried it’s gonna tank my WAM.

So I’m stuck deciding:

• Should I drop Japanese now and just focus on doing really well in the other three?
• Or should I stick with all four to show I can handle a full load, even if it means a slightly lower WAM?

I know WAM is super important for the transfer, but will taking only 3 subjects in one semester hurt my chances? Has anyone gone through this process or been in a similar situation?

Would love to hear any advice or thoughts — thanks in advance.

im talking about the Introductory Microeconomics MST like bro ik that there were some inconvenience and mistakes but asking for THE WHOLE COHORT to redo it is insane. like each of us have different schedules like I think I have 3 assignments + another mid-term test coming and I work too so I have already sorted my schedule out (pretty sure a lot of other people are same) and tbh Im just glad that I got the MST done so I can move on doing other stuffs. IF THE SCHOOL GONNA ACTUALLY CONSIDERING THIS IMMA PROTEST FR

Does anyone know what the bio psych and dev psych exams are like? i’ve been falling behind on content and just kinda stressed about the exam content and not being able to catch up in time.

it would also be helpful to know if the exam was closer to the start/end of exam period as well? just because my family is planning a trip and i don’t want the dates to interfere.

If you ate/cook something with a strong smell, please use deodorant after. Went to lecture today and there’s just an overwhelming and penetrating smell of onion and garlic. It’s so distracting😭

Hi! I'm accepting my offer and am an incoming undergraduate for bcom in the end of july, for accoms which is better? Little Hall or Lisa Bellear House? I'm also most likely going to select the twin studio option for both sooo please help a future undergrad out! Thanks :]

I don't care about your opinion on okta. Bullying people online is dumb as hell.

hi i'm currently taking rmhi, and i'm a little nervous about the exam. has anyone taken it before? what was the exam like?

First year student here, and I’ve noticed that biology seems to be handled a lot worse than my other subjects? For reference, I’m also doing chemistry and psychology this year, and I’ve found the two of them to be organised a lot better, like for those subjects we’re given the slides and we also have actual lectures to teach us content instead of just videos we have to watch. I was just wondering if all of biology at Melbourne is taught like this?

Hello, I’m an international student interested in applying to the University of Melbourne and looking into scholarship opportunities. I’ve read that some scholarships offer automatic consideration, but I’m not sure about the process. Do I need to enroll first before being considered, or does the scholarship evaluation happen during the admission process?

Would appreciate any insights. Thank You!

yes. you did not read that wrong; that happened at yesterday's microecon mst. all students are allocated to sit the test at 4 different venues, but apparently one of the venues has extra writing time than the other 3. is this situation normal?? there were question threads posted on Ed discussion regarding that, and they simply got ignored by the staff.

praying for a kind soul here to tell me (us) that this situation isn't happening the first time, or worse if this is a unique and peculiar situation, what can be done😭😭

WAM booster, or not so much?

Mental health has been worse than ever before, getting a lot more physically self destructive too, and assignments on top of assignments have really pushed me to my breaking point. I know my case isn't unique and I know its my fault for being so weak and unable to complete my assignments on time, but I was wondering if there was any potential for an extension 2 days after an assignment was due.

I lack any medical reports diagnosing me of anything, which is why I'm not expecting much to be frank. But if anyone knows of anything I could do just to get a little bit more time, (was considering emailing my co-ordinator but don't think it'd do much), that would help so much. Thanks for reading this and I hope you get through your day just fine.

At work I got called a cat lady, Mumies Boy, said I stole money from the UoM and said all I do is spend time with my cat. It has been a year now and after taking a year of my own leave what should I do next? I lost my sprite and will need to give up my home and my cat.

they’re at the umsu office if they’re yours

hi guys,

how many of you would actually come eat if there was an Indian restaurant in the uni?

Hi I was just wondering if anyone is in the same situation. Turns out my exchange location does not offer inter macro courses in the September 2025 term. I was thinking of under loading, but then unimelb doesn't even offer inter macro in semester 1. Should I drop my exchange ? I fear I have no other option </3
