Hi there Chocolatepistchio! (Side note: I like your username!)
First year uni Bachelor of Science usually covers areas such as chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, geography/ geology/ earth sciences and psychology in broad strokes, usually beginning from the basics, rushing through the high school content and adding more detail and new content in some areas. Depending on which uni you are doing the degree and what areas you wish to study/ must study, the subjects and content you study may differ. (At some unis, you’ll have some choice as to what you study, but will have to abide by specific guidelines. Some may also ask you to pick your major from the very beginning, but many unis are now steering towards a more general first year and so won’t make you pick a major until you start your second year of uni.)
As for what is studied in a biodiversity unit (we call subjects “units” at uni), it’s usually similar to ecology or zoology classes. These sorts of units dive into the wide variety of organisms there are on this planet, ranging from discussing ecosystems to specific species, and sometimes delves into the interactions between organisms and the environment.

Don't know if this is the right place to go for this, but here goes.
Nursing, not double degree, at a Uni in Victoria. Which is the best? What's it like in general? Please, I tried looking up individual unis and it left me in the dark. Thank you for your assistance.

Hey :)
I think this is the right place! All nursing degrees running in Victoria at the moment are accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia which means that they all teach pretty much the same thing, just with different teachers delivering the content. So, it doesn't really matter too much what uni you go to. (see here for more info about accreditation. Each uni's webpage of their nursing degree should say it is accredited too). I'd go with the Nursing program that a) is close to home and/or b) a uni / campus that you would like to be at.
It might not be helpful to base your decision entirely on the opinions of others. That being said, past and current nursing students can be an invaluable source of advice as to how a uni runs a course. I know nursing students from ACU, Deakin, RMIT, La Trobe and Monash and all of them love their course.
However, as I said above, some people might think a certain uni's Bachelor of Nursing is great, but someone else might think otherwise. For example, I know someone who started off doing Nursing at La Trobe and transferred to RMIT Nursing. I know another person who is at La Trobe for Nursing and plans to stay there until she graduates.
If you find that you don't end up making the right uni (or even degree choice), you can always transfer to another uni / course.
Hope this helps :)

My week is actually going to be pretty chill haha- it currently consists of me doing the last few passages and a transfection of my practice cells before I actually can get started on my actual project and get data LOL. I also should restart my intro to my thesis after Word decided to hate me the other day and crash without saving :(
It's weird seeing the undergrads in the library at Monash Parkville, even though it be exam time haha
