Why Audio Lectures are (in theory) a Great Idea
I can still remember the shock of discovering that Facebook wasn’t blocked from the computers at uni. Then I remembered: this isn’t high school any more. No more teachers hovering, making sure you’re doing your work. Responsible uni students would understand the computers are there for assignments, not for Facebook. I don’t know any one [...]
The Pros and Cons of Renting
The obvious alternative to living with your parents is living by yourself, however paying the full rent bill hurts – a lot. For a one bedroom place near Melbourne University you’ll be coughing up around $330 per week. This is laughable for any full time student. To get the figure some where in the uni [...]
Lectures: Waste of Time or Rite of Passage?
All throughout high school the prospect of attending university was always exciting; one thing that really appealed to me personally was attending lectures. Thinking about sitting in those cool little chairs with the flip up tables with a notepad and a pen. Lectures always seemed exciting to me as I’d seen lecture halls on television [...]
How to Make the Most Out of University Societies
University social life is always like game the old “be in it to win it”. So the more proactive you are with your own social life the better off you will be. Clubs are the 911 of all University social life. Clubs can be the start of great friendships, you can learn new skills, understand more [...]

If taking a gap year is not for you – then you can always take time off during university by deferring, or use the fairly long 3 month break. University is quite flexible allowing you to defer if necessary for 6 months or 12 months. Taking time off university (especially if you did not take [...]
The E-Reader Dilemma
There is nothing better than folding back the cover of a novel for the first time, breathing in the smell of fresh pages and ink. Nothing worse than forcing open the pages of a textbook knowing the information inside needs to, somehow, be transported into your brain (preferably before the exam). Books are more than [...]
Act Your Age! The Glory of Mature-Age Students
Unlike high school, your years of study at university will situate you into a world where your peers may very well two or three times your own age (or younger than your own children, depending on who has stumbled across this article). In fact, research has found that, since the 1980s, universities have experienced a [...]
How to procrastinate like a pro!
This may seem like a funny title, coming from a website designed to help you cope with uni life, however, this is also a pragmatic site, and recognises that didactic advice will go in one ear and out the other. Everyone puts things off, no matter how saintly. Uni students, however, have the unique mix [...]
Need a Nudge? Reach out and avoid depression
University is hard—it’s a fact of life. Like anything, it will have its ups and downs, and like anyone, you may find that the downs become too much to bear on your own. The beautiful thing is that you don’t need to deal with it on your own. When life is hard, reach out and [...]
