Welcome to Monash University!
I am not a jaffy but I will be doing 1st year units (ENG1020,FIT1029) this year, next year and into 5th year (maybe 4th) regardless.

Thanks yay monash :)
Well I'll be studying a double major in psych and ancient history in an arts degree :)
Got any tips for first years? :)

Look forward to seeing you guys with your cute diaries out flipped onto the campus map page and looking hopelessly lost :)

I'm only part time, so this will be my second first year. ;D If anyone is doing Ancient Cultures, I might see you there!

What badass majors.
Biggest tip is dont drop the ball. A lot of people are used to being forced to hand things in on time (or even at all) in highschool. In uni, no one makes you. You can hand it in late if you like with penalties, same work for less marks. I've done this a fair few times and regretted it every time. Plenty of people dont even hand in an assignment sometimes. So, just keep your discipline up.
Skipping lectures is ok long as you listen to them relatively soon after. Plenty of people skip lectures and only listen to all 30 the week before the exam or something.
Dont buy food from meeting point unless you want a new species of virus or bacteria named after you (especially the pasta).

are all lectures recorded and able to watch at home or only some of them? if this is the case will we be told whether the lecture is recorded or not?

Almost all lectures are recorded. The student union (MSA) ran a campaign last year and the year before to convince most of the lecturers to do it, as far as i know though, it's still up to their discretion.
The vast majority are recorded (almost all the recorded ones have video of the lecturers screen/projector output too).
If one is recorded, its almost certain all the rest will be too (barring technical failure, etc).
A provisional list should be here before uni starts - http://mulo.monash.edu.au/
If they were recorded last year, fair bet they will be for this year though. So, you can look at last years list.
-
Ah, finally I don't feel like a Jaffy anymore. But I'll see Jaffys doing MTH1020 and MTH1030 this year.
-
Got into ATS2143 so no 1st year jap unit
-
So excited! Can't wait to get hopelessly lost like I did on open day last year. Kudos to the biomed students who informed me that I was on the entirely wrong side of campus :P
-
I'm gonna sound like a JAFFY, but where the hell is South 1 lecture theater? Have a commerce unit there
-
I think it's the one right in front of the left side of the bus loop
-
incoming :) hope to see you guys around :)
-

JaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaFYYYYYY
It's behind the law building, or the first building across the loop from the bus loop.
Probably one of the few nice looking lecture theatres
-
lol how long will it take to get used to the clayton campus? its too big :/

it's big in land area, but you'll utilise like 20% of that land at max
-
I reckon around 2 weeks, max 3 weeks

haha 2-3 weeks of looking a bit lost >.< im so nervous already
-
Oh you'll be fine
I remember being lost on my first day of Uni (after having a cancelled train - so I was terribly late)
Ran into Kazdawg from the forums who pointed out the way ^-^
Have a mooch around on this site or get the app, it can be quite useful: http://lostoncampus.com.au/monash/clayton

Haha thanks that's really useful :) I have the app but the website is better haha :)
-
Haha I am going to be SO lost for like the whole year
Damn...should have done geography....might be a bit better with navigation :P
-
We'll most likely be looking at a meet at Monash during O-Week for everyone to meet eachother.
It's a great way to get to know an initial batch of people as well :)
-
You'll be lost for 2-3 weeks max. The positions of things dont usually change week to week. Once you know where everything is it's generally OK.
It seems like a big place at first and it is but buildings tend to kind of cluster. A lot of the science/biomed buildings are next to eachother in a certain area of the uni, same with a fair few arts buildings, etc.
Dont be afraid to use your map for the first couple weeks or ask people where shit is, almost always they're willing to help.

To commencing Engineering Students, please do find the group "Monash University Engineering 2013" on Facebook :)
-
For all new commerce students in 2013, on O week there's this thing called Student Ambassadors that help you on the day.
They also set up a peer mentor kind of thing (starting this year, if i'm not wrong), to help new first years cope with first year uni.
So yeah, if you think you have problems (academic, etc etc), seek one of these ambassadors.
I'm a Student Ambassador for the Bus Eco faculty this year, so yeah, if you have any commerce related problems, just ask us (or some of the older guys on campus).
-
What is this thing on tomorrow. Been googling it for ages and I still can't find it :l Friend says it's an open day....?
-
Enrollment?
You get your ID card a few freebies etc

Oh, mine says 30th of Jan. I guess it's different depends on what course you're doing

Yep, that's true :)
-
Not sure what's tomorrow but I have an information session on Tuesday where they advise you on which units to enroll in and also an enrollment day on the 29th
-
For those already studying at Monash, did the info sessions help with unit enrolments ? Or did you have to figure it out yourself?

Double Degrees are welcomed too.
Please only join if you are starting from 2013 or still doing a 1st year unit in 2013

For science, we got an idea of what requirements we need to meet (nothing you cant find in the handbook) and members of each department (chemistry, physics, astronomy, biology, etc) gave little pitches about their areas and why we should do their subjects.
Nothing all that great or important honestly. If you got nothing else on that day and can be bothered, certainly can't hurt going. I know it seems important now but in hindsight its not something i'd blow off anything important for.
Likewise, the science faculty (same with arts, commerce, etc) has an office, with a desk staffed with people 9-5 whose sole job it is to inform you about courses, requirements, if you're progressing in the right way, etc. You can always pop down and ask them or email them.

I was oversea during the info session and got my sister to go in place of me. When she got back from the info sesh, I got told off over the phone for over 30 mins because Monash wasted half of her day telling students everything that can be found on the internet.
Also, the enrollment session is a waste of time if you've already enrolled on WES and know how the units and stuff works.

Guessing thats the Rotunda, its a big round building, and then lecture thearte R4, so just keep walking around the circular walkway inside till you find R4.
EDIT: arrows from the bus loop

You should be able to forward them all to your live account
Cog wheel -> Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP
-

Thanks pi, is there also a way to make it appear in windows live so that i can send and receive from the actual account and not a forwarded account?
When i try to add the account to mail it has blank space in server adress (incoming server information) and server address (outgoing server information). Do you know what i need to fill in here?

Monash email uses Gmail right?
Maybe search up 'How to add a Gmail acc to WLM'
-
I just have it as seperate on my Android Phone. Too lazy :P

I tried that
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=1668960&rd=2
keeps giving me the error 'login already in process' 'credentials cannot be verified - check username and password are correct'
I've tried everything i can think of but no luck
-
after playing around for ages, it turns out the 'username' we have to put in to sync mail accounts is not abcd1 but [email protected]
If anyone was trying to sync with no success to windows live mail or apple mail that should fix it on all devices (after this follow the instructions on the link above)
However before that you do need to go to google mail settings in a browser -> forwarding / IMAP -> enable IMAP
On another note does anyone know if there are lockers in monash especially for storing clothes for sport/gym/riding and how much it costs and such
-
There are lockers you can get, unfortunately I don't know any of the details.
-

Hahaha don't worry I was already so awks I didn't notice anyone else being awks :P
I went to it but was not impressed because there is no room for the subjects I wanna teach and no one could give me information on how to actually get those [after 6 months of asking and calling different departments and people] so i changed courses :)

you can just link it to your gmail if you have one :)

-
Same :D

The only lockers I know of are in the basement level of the Menzies building. There is no charge, it is on a first come, first served basis and you will need to bring a lock yourself for it. They need to be cleared out before the end of each semester.

Is the free parking at Clayton full on most weekdays? Also, would i be able to get another student diary from somewhere during o-week? (left mine on the train coming home from enrolment day lol)

Wait, they gave out student diaries on enrolment day?
Goddammit.

They should have a heap at O-Week, especially if you go to the place where you had your ID photos taken.
