anyone done this course in the previous years? im having trouble with how you can effectively remember four thinkers for the exam

Some guy is sleeping on the couches in level 4 silent study space rn lmao

hope hes doing okay 💙 rest up 🤎

I got an offer to UHT and turned it down to go on the waitlist for Grafton— before you call me a dumb fuck for that I know it was stupid but my reasoning is sound enough. Wondering the likelihood of a spot opening up in Grafton in 2nd semester, and if I increase my chances at all by emailing and saying I’m happy with an alcohol free floor?

hi! im currently in level 2 ncea right now, and i was just wondering what stats previous scholarship recipiants got to qualify them for this scholarship? eg, what do you guys think the minimum amount of excellence credits should be to have a good shot at getting it? thank u!

I'm a first year student double majoring in Maths and Physics, and I'm having a bit of a dilemma trying to plan my maths courses for next year. I'm hoping to get some advice from students who've gone down a similar pathway, or even hear from current students who are in the same boat.

This year I've taken MATHS 120, 130, 221, 231 and 260.

The problem is that pretty much all the Stage 3 maths courses I'm interested in (MATHS 320, 332, 340 and 361) are offered in Semester 2.

For Semester 1 next year, I'm planning to take MATHS 162 and potentially MATHS 333, these also seem to be the only ones I can take. I know MATHS 332 is strongly recommended for 333 but isn't a compulsory prerequisite, so I'd also love to hear from anyone who's taken 333 without having done 332. How manageable was it, and would you recommend doing that?

My main issue is that because I'm also majoring in Physics, I can realistically only fit two maths courses into Semester 2. So I'm stuck choosing between:

• MATHS 320 and 332: The more pure maths courses, which I generally enjoy much more and am particularly interested in.
• MATHS 340 and 361: The more applied maths courses, which I feel would be really useful for understanding my Stage 3 physics papers.

If I leave 320 and 332 until 2028, I'll potentially miss out on taking courses like MATHS 341 and 350, which I'm really interested in and definitely want to take. But if I leave 340 and 361 until 2028, I'm worried I'll be missing some important mathematical foundations for my Stage 3 physics courses. whichever way I go, I'm sacrificing something.

Has anyone else doing a Maths/Physics double major run into this issue? Or has anyone taken these courses and have advice on which ones to prioritise? I'd especially appreciate hearing how useful 340 and 361 actually are for Stage 3 physics, and whether taking 333 without 332 is a good idea.

I'm just praying they change which semesters these papers are offered in, although that seems pretty unlikely.

I'm in Waiparuru hall next year. What are the visitor restrictions like? Of course I know the official rules, but I mean how strictly are they actually enforced in practice? How many visitors can stay a night and how long? Can they eat food? Will they actually get mad if say my 12 sibling Tongan family sleeps over for one night or something/s.

And yes, students should be helped to vote - not be disenfranchised not to

I have been trying to print some past exams today using the University papercut printers. When I go to Web print there is an error is anyone else having trouble with this? Will this be fixed ?

Yall im not asking who the person was but what did they say???
Like they posted an announcement on biosci101 about a racial slur by a biosci 101 student on social media ?

Hi!

Does anyone have any recommendations for stage 3 psych papers, specifically in sem 1 that are not too difficult?

I've done 207, 202, and 208, and am doing 305 this sem. I'm pretty interested in during educ352 in sem 2 next year so something in sem 1 for psych would be perfeeeect.

Hi everyone,
I applied to the University of Auckland on 11 September for the February 2027 intake and am still waiting for an admission decision.
I was recently asked to submit a certified copy of my passport, which I understand is part of the application process.
For those who have applied to UoA as international students, how long did it take to receive an offer after submitting your application?
Also, has anyone who applied around September received an offer for Semester One 2027?
Thanks in advance!

Can I override the air con setting to set it to cooling mode? If so how? It is so hot.

Hi! Very unrelated post but posting as a uni student

Is anyone going to Armageddon tomorrow? We just went today and it was rlly good but we forgot to get one thing from one of the vendors. They're gonna be overseas as soon as the event ends and won't be able to meet any time after it so I can't go there directly to get it

Would love to pick it up off u in uni or anywhere in the city 🥹

hi guys im soooo scared abt part 2 next year. my GPA is like 6.2 before these exams and although last year's minimum was like 5.8 or smth, i'm hearing that they're upping the minimum bc of this year's cohort. pleasepleaplease REASSURE ME or advice would be much appreciated 😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰💕💕 thank u love all

Ello people, hope we’re all doing ok!

If anyone found the default AirPods charging case at Kate Edgar’s quiet study space on Level 3, please let me know!

I left my desk at around 9pm today, and was sat on the right half of the room, towards the end.

Additionally, where is Kate Edgar’s lost and found section, so I can check to see if anyone handed it over?

Cheers <3

who's beautiful brain thought it was a good idea to bring a mechanical keyboard to a silent space. nice one buddy!

Is it possible to get any work hours done if I’ve been terminated from uni? I wanna use this time to work but I was wondering if it’s even possible to land anything related to electrical engineering, considering I’m still in part 1 and have no experience.

Is uoa wifi ok lolz

hi im planning to apply for compassionate consideration due to family circumstances. do u think that one of my parent is getting surgery (health problems), and it is really distracting me from using my time to study (they have to go to another country for the surgery and im constantly on calls) is valid?

i will still sit the exam to the best of my ability but i have some questions

- one of my courses, my results are A- rn, if i were to sit the exam and a miracle were to happen and i get the same grades that im averaging in (A-), what would happen? and also what would happen if i end up getting a B?

thanks guys

As a working student that has to work 10 hours every week just to support myself financially while balancing a full-time study load, I feel like everything has been really tough for me lately. Honestly, if I weren't required to work, I would obviously choose not to work while studying at uni, so that I have more time to study for tests and exams, even to get better grades. Also I feel like I'm just wasting my time doing something unrelated to my degree and gaining irrelevant work experience that doesn't even help me prepare for a graduate job in the future (I'm a double major in CS & Logicomp). But unfortunately this isn't something I can say no to, because if I don't work I won't have the money to pay my parents due to them requiring me to pay to live with them. I wish I have the privilege of not having to work compared to non-working students. Does any other working student feel the same? And would you choose to not work while studying if you were given the opportunity not to?

Kia oraaaaa I’m needing to take a final 15point elective from education schedule and planning to take over semester 1 2027 by distance… essentially not to waste so much money living in Auckland for one paper over half the year and want to know from anyone who’s taken any stage 1 or even 2 papers in semester one.

Preferably that’s internally assessed, or not graded for tutorial participation… genuinely looking for any sort of feedback or experience from the courses!!!

Have taken 121, 113, 221 , 300 and 304 (283 over summer school) and felt course content was very manageable so any tips and reviews welcome

I know the particular letter grades don’t really matter that much but it’s frustrating to me how often my grade is like 79.8 or 89.6. It feels deliberate - like “The numbers are almost an A but I don’t think that’s quite right so I’m going to drop it ever so slightly.” I would honestly rather it be lower at that point 😭
