University Life - your perspective?


Recommended Posts

hmm well i went to a "welcome day" at melbourne uni today and i have to say its starting to sink in that i will actually be going to uni in only one month's time. i guess that means no more bludging and less skyline time lol :D

ok, so i'm less of a noob when i start uni, i'd like to hear your perspective on uni - advice, tips and tricks and all the stuff you got up to so i know what uni is all about! :)

oh and i while on the tram i saw a red r33 with sau stickers and a drive right sticker above the exhaust driving down swanston st...who was it?

Cheers,

Greg

uni is a bludge, kick your feet up n enjoy the ride... just make sure you get ur assignments and assesment tasks done and you'll be fine.

No one's there to give you a rap on the knuckles when u slack off, so keep yourself in check. Other than that get used to bumming about and bar nights full of drunken sex :)

What course are you doing?

If u r doing engineering then u can bludge 90% of the time coz the only thing that matters are middle and end of year exams which are worth 85% each.

Its sux tho coz u sleep in dont show up for lectures and only a few tutorials and then its exam time and u r farked coz u know shit!!

Lecturers dont gives a fark about u coz they get paid big $$'s and if u fail u just end up paying back more hecs when you get a job.

Enjoy

well im at Melbourne Uni mate, i finished my first year and yeh not really coz i have failed alot of subjects..Due too having fun too much, playing soccer everyday, and if the weather is nice driving down to the beach side, yeh uni is pretty fun... but can be stressing at times(couple of days left for exams), the rest its farken alright, but it is bad if ya got no friends, so u need to make friends if ya wanna enjoy it...:)

Greg, take the advice of one who has just done what you're about to embark on. I just finished my B.Com from Melbourne Uni, and you think first year's a bludge, and it is, but don't slack off too far, second year's really important because it's what's assessed for vac work and for grad recruitment too. (sorry to sound like the nagging parent, but I'd hate to see people got through the crap I've just been through with looking for work and stuff)

Just make sure you do your tute work, it's piss easy in first year, just pay attention during QM1, 1A and 1B, (it's a big ask coz it's a shit boring subject), plenty of time for skylining. And for god's sake, get laid during O-week, there's plenty of college chicks missing home and need somebody to comfort them (god I was an asshoel then! lol), but it's what it's allllll about!!!!!:) But go out to the parties and stuff, and as many balls as you can get to (really good place to pick up)

But don't slack off too much, I'm in the shit coz I slacked off and didn't get a grad spot, luckily I just started a new job today so I'm one step closer to buying my 'line ;)

Okay, there's my pearls of wisdom, just send me a PM if you want more tips on surviving your B.Com :wassup:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
