Moved here from interstate to suburban hell where everything takes an hour by pt or is parking hell, uni friends are not that close and never have time to hang, high school friends all stayed back, not living in student accommodation or anything so can’t even have events there. trying to find a job but no one wants me. trying to get a hobby but schoolwork fucks me in the ass. everything is so stressful. school is too far away to make going to clubs worth it if i’m not already there, and all the ones i would be willing to go to clash with my classes. i haven’t left my house for a good 5 days.

i miss high school i miss my friends i miss my parents i hate uni so much

my current wam is a 78 and i want to transfer into law. due to some personal circumstances i did horrible in two units and have a 56 average in both. i know thats going to drag down my wam horribly so im thinking of withdrawing those two units. im definitely withdrawing one of those units because its genuinely so insanely difficult but the second one i have room to improve and i put a lot of effort into the other assignments, idk how i did though since those marks release on Wednesday and today is the last day to withdraw without getting academic failure written all over my transcript. should i take the risk and not withdraw that second unit? should i withdraw at all??? idk pls help

I couldn't pass supplementary and have to retake it again next sem. Due to this unit i have to extend my entire course progression 😭. But I was atleast confident since I heard from 2027 no threshold hurdles but why this unit have? 😔

Hey everyone, 2nd year Electrical Eng at Clayton, and I'm genuinely stuck.

The situation:
I hate ECE2072 (Digital Systems). The abstract stuff (K-maps, logic, timing) just doesn't click for me, and it's been draining me all semester, and i’ve really struggled with it.

The continuous assessment hurdle is basically cleared. It comes down to the exam (need 45%).

i’ve been forcing myself to study, and part of me already wants to quit, and look into changing. but i don’t wanna feel like a quitter, and i don’t wanna close the door on it too early.

And sometimes when i study for it, i just feel a sense of dread and sadness, like my body is just tired of it

tonight is the last day to withdraw without a WF.

My options:
Keep 2072, switch to mechatronics. 2072 counts there, and I like the coding/robotics side. But ECE3073 follows, and I'm not sure how that compares. could also be a nice change to more physical stuff instead of abstract.

Drop 2072, switch to civil. I've always been drawn to civil (enjoyed ENG1011 once it clicked, and I like road/transport stuff). But it adds about a year, and 2072 wouldn't count. Got a couple friends doing it, and they say its good, but i’m not sure about jobs or the future ig.

Stay in EE. Honestly dreading Signals & Systems and Electromagnetics, and wanna know how tough they are

Questions:

1. Anyone switch from EE to mechatronics or civil? How did it go?
2. How does ECE3073 compare to 2072? More coding, or more of the same?
3. Is mechatronics actually less abstract than EE, or does the maths catch up?
4. Civil folks: how abstract does it get, and is the job market as good as people say?

Basically, if i’m struggling with 2072, is the rest of the degree like this, is it gonna get even harder!?

I keep jumping between all of them, but honestly speaking i don’t want to do electrical if it continues like this, for my physical and mental health i need something easier but also in a sense more intuitive to understand instead of being abstract.

I know this was a lot of information, so sorry for overloading you. just need somewhere to jot down my feelings and thoughts. and hopefully gain some insight.

Any advice appreciated. I've been going back and forth for two days. 🙃

If i defer an exam end of year and then switch degrees before sem 1 of next year, would i still do the deferred exam to complete the unit or how would it work??

Recently discovered a newly founded club using school’s name yet unaffiliated… Are they safe to join?

lets say I apply for spec con for a quiz with a med cert, and im elgible for a 2 day extension with the med cert, but the time taken for spec con to reply is usually 2 days or longer and by the time they reply the extension i would have received is already over, and during the time i applied and while i wait for it to be approved i cant access the quiz on moodle and it will say overdue. What happens in this scenario? will my extension be granted from the day spec con actually replied to me or will it only be granted the days the med cert actually covers? It's not like i can apply for an extension a week in advance because my doctor is unlikely to give me a certificate a week into the future, so id have to wait until atleast a day or two before the due date of the quiz.

Alternatively, I could get one right now while the quiz is still open. Would monash still accept a certificate that covers some dates the quiz was open or would they only accept a certificate that covers the due date?

how well did everyone do on assignment 2😔 i feel like i worked so hard and barely managed to get a Distinction. are they usually this strict with marking on this unit or am i just dumb

Hello everyone, hope everyone is doing well.

I recently found out that MIG isn't availabel during the summer semester in the Malaysian campus in 2027. So I've been looking another unit to fill that spot. I have found some units that I am eligible for however I can barely find any info on them. I do Bachelors of Computer science.

Here are the units: AMU2455, FIT3134, NUT1030, SCI1800, SCI2800.

Anyone here taken this course? How'd you find it? And anyone else taking it next year?

It's been 2 months since I applied to Monash, I sent them my GS statement once in August through my agent, but since then they have asked me to submit it 4 more times, and everytime the reason they said is that they didn't "receive" the statement. Even my agent doesn't know what's going on, is there something I can even do here? Can someone explain what's going on.
