Who went to UoM open day today?

[Mao]

The general impression of prestige, i think...
Though many people I know from UoM are cool and relaxed, some are over-zealous when it comes to a discussion about which uni is better or worse. *cough cough you know who you are*

I was turned away from UoM at the first KLD event [lol, exactly to the opposite of its purpose]. They kept on reinforcing that KLD is somehow "elite", and being in UoM with this great prestige signifies this elitism. [i was going to say something after this but now it completely escapes me how that something even made sense...]

I thought the day was pretty good in general.
Except they totally screwed up the Dip in Music talk and just when it got to me in the free sausage sizzle they ran out of bread lol.

I'm curious as to where people live, from my observations inner city people like melbourne better and people who live further out like monash. I found monash a lot more friendly and less stuck up which is one of the reasons why I am here (the other is of course, it is 3x closer)

Personally, despite coming from "inner regional Australia" ie a little town near Geelong, I found the atmosphere quite friendly. However most of my friends didn't even bother going to the open day and seem quite content with Deakin (the local uni). I find Melb. Uni has a more fast paced, gobal vibe which appeals to me.

What's a gobal vibe?

[AppleXY]

an internationally recognised degree.

[costargh]

Wow I've never heard of that

[humph]

I went.
I loved the freebies - drinks, sausages, 4 chupa-chups, popcorn....

I also decided to randomly visit the colleges, despite living really close to the uni. I'm in love with Newman College - it's so like Hogwarts! Sigh.

And I've also somewhat decided what I wanted to do at uni.... feminist here I come.

One of my friends from Skevs goes to Newman (Pete Shearman). Apparently it's the UMelb equivalent of Johns at ANU - the jock college. But yeah, UMelb colleges are all rather pretty.

Didn't go yesterday, although I wanted to, have 6 SACs this week :/
Oh well, I've been to the campus many times, and already have answers to all my questions about the BComm

Hehe, my most memorable moments were choking on a Krispy Kreme doughnut (); filling out about 5 education surveys for those really cool highlighters; waiting in line for 20 minutes, only to realise all of the sausages were gone; vitamin water and stress balls! Yay, open day was fun (except for the choking ...).

Heh, he went to the same catholic school as me (St. Kevin's) and got 47 in Texts & Traditions in yr11. So I guess he just took advantage of that...

the only example I can think of is someone who isn't at UoM yet!
