MHS kids come support us at the Maths Olympiad :P Gotta beat MacRob!!

Who's the team? If JPK is there, we can't lose, he's uber-beast
OMG can't believe I forgot about JPK when I was building the team! Team is: JW, MH, HG, ST (yr11 version of JPK) and me lol

:o Well there are still some very good mathematicians there, we should win. Although, JPK :(

Good luck though :)

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

I'm going! Probably to check out actuary and maybe biomed :)

Is train/tram recommended? I've heard that parking is hard to find (I'm not an early bird...)

If you want to drive, the Eastern Precinct Car Park is the cheapest: 5 bucks for the whole day (access is from Cardigan Street near Elgin Street). There is always parking available there. Uni square car parking is 7 bucks, but you might not find a park there (although I'm not sure how it is on weekends).

I think it was better than Monash's tbh, the info was WAY easier to find and there were more melb uni ppl there to help. BUT they need more room in biomed, i was too crammed in one corner :(

It had to be held in a theatre in the med building and the Sunderland is the biggest one there. The 10am session was practically empty compared to the 1pm session

Much better than RMIT in my opinion, friendly people all over the place. The robotics room with cars made by Lego was awesome.
EDIT: Tsfx people being there and trying to hand out brochures, so annoying...
