She won't be able to do the 7-level units =( - they're postgrad stuff!

The first two are probably part of Arts, so she can do them. Don't quote me though =D

change that to a =), taxation law is apparently REALLY painful to study

[brendan]

lol yeah in my ideal society, tax would be so simple you wouldn't need a lawyer.

Seconded.

I daresay taxation is just as bad as IT when it comes to jargon and acronyms. GST, BAS, FBT, CGT...the list goes on.

hey, I was considering applying for a law degree next year, after year 12. I no that I will get the marks required but im not sure if law is right for me. I did legal studies and good real good marks for that and enjoyed it. Could you please give me some feedback on what you think of your uni course, institution, the workload and the amount of contact hours and days that you have to attend uni. Im not sure what uni I would go to, I was thinking Deakin Melbourne (Burwood). If there are any deakin students could you please tell me about the Uni and what it is like. Thanks for commenting back, if u do.
