This school is making ludicrous amounts of money from its huge numbers of international students, and they have the nerve to call their alumni asking for donations. Feigning interests in what they are currently doing as a form of back entry to ask for money is low.
UNSW has a unique focus on the scientific, technological and professional disciplines. It offers an extensive range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs. A perfect place for student to boost up their career. And Infrastructure Is Quiet Good .. The faculties Are Very Intelligent ???? to provide Good Education to us...........
The buildings seem fine.
$18 Parking for 4 hours!!! (
Of course how can Uni students afford cars while in Uni!
Modern university that has been undergoing some sort of construction or renovation of it's facilities non-stop over the past 30 years.
No cars allowed to drive through campus anymore (actually, not since around 20 years) - only a couple of entry points and cars must be parked in the car park facilities located nearest to these entrances. Visitors used to the convenience of driving inside Asian and North American university campuses might find this a bit off-putting, though the campus isn't that large.
Short-term parking is exorbitantly expensive, so either purchase an annual pass or park in one of the side streets nearby - however, some streets only allow 1 hour parking on weekdays so students and staff may want to consider parking further away or catching a bus to campus.
Whether you are a student, staff or visitor, expect to do a lot of walking. The walk up the steep hill to the upper campus is a killer, but you'll get fit doing so! You'll need to be fit to manage the walk between the upper and lower campuses in the 10-minute breaks allocated between classes.
Food on campus is way overpriced though students get a 10% discount. All food outlets close very early though (like rarely will anything be open after about 3pm) and almost nothing is open on weekends (though this may have changed since). However, since there are a ton of restaurants along nearby Anzac Parade, there is too much competition for on campus food outlets to be open longer than lunch time.
Teaching style is pretty much rote style and based on memorization, which is the teaching style the majority cohort of students, who are mostly from China, India and South-East Asia are used to. Subjects are heavily exam based, especially in math and sciences/engineering. Many subjects take 70% of the grade from final exams, so if you flunk your finals, you'll fail your course. This is the polar opposite of American universities, where final exams only contribute perhaps 20% of your final grade. Extra credit is unheard of here and the professors/lecturers are harsh.
In many ways you don't feel like you are in Australia, but rather in Hong Kong or Singapore, when you are a student here.
Nice location and very ambient for learning
