um maybe English/Politics/History subjects, i've been trying to use the handbook but i'd like a students opinion

What degree are you planning to do? If it's arts, you'll have to do the uni breadth ones and they're generally not that one dimensional

I'm planning on a commerce degree if everything goes to plan

Creative Writing (the Ideas and Practice one) is a very enjoyable first year subject, after that it gets a bit more intense/difficult/painful. Doesn't need much effort.

Classical Mythology looks good but it has a take home exam so only pick that if you're willing to put in the effort.

Politics as a breadth is apparently easy to do well in, I haven't done it myself

thanks, this goes off topic a bit but does the availability of a subject change from year to year, like if its only offered semester 1 in 2011 does it stay the same in 2012?

Generally they stay the same but changes can occur. Don't count on it though. That said, do bear in mind that you're not obligated to do 3 core/1 breadth subject per semester. You can do 2/2 if there's a particular subject you want and then do 4/0 next semester to make up for it

Yep.  Or you can do 1 breadth throughout the whole year and do one in summer to make up for it.  Or you can do what I'm doing now and do one in summer despite doing 2 breadth last year.  Why?  So I can be ahead.

Has anyone done any management subjects? How did you find those?

Music Psychology is my fave breadth subject.

Easy to get good marks in

Russ what do you mean by, and I remember from some other post aswell, you sometimes refer to some breadth by there names ie wine tasting, music psych and then 'one uni breadth', is there some difference, or you have no idea what im talking about?

[Russ]

Uni breadth are subjects that were created with the sole purpose of being multidisciplinary subjects available to everyone as breadth (ie for the melbourne model)
