Hate to intrude, seeing as I'm not from Monash. (One of the very few people, and I mean very few. T_T)

Hi all! Nice to see quiet a few Monash people here =].

I'm Winnee, Nineteen in July. studying first year Architecture at Caulfield. (the opening night exhibition for the course is tomorrow, any caulfielders seen the cardboard things in the gallery lol?)

Monash; love; the art & design facilities. and UZU Sushi hate; the 8am theory lectures -__- and one hour train ride to uni.

@oracle./emma. you do both Chinese and Korean? lucky you. I wanted to do a language as well but that means taking longer to finish my degree lol. Still considering it though.

PM if there's a meet up =].

Well with my Journalism course comes 2 electives, so I decided to do two languages LOL!

I think I might be getting less electives next year ...

But yeh, doing languages is fun!

Korean is awesome.

But the pace is getting faster and faster.

It's hard to laze back >.<

Yeah, i know a couple of people who are already planning to transfer from the Interior Architecture course into Architecture next year lol.

It's only been one semester, and its pretty much been foundation/introductory subjects.. such as Intro to Arch. Theory, Drawing, Foundation Studio and Workshop. I'm looking forward to next semester, when we start some proper units...

During mid-semester they invited practising architects, art professors from Melb. uni, etc. who were on the various panels and gave critiques and asked question after our presentions for a project. That was plain scary. Is it the same for Interior?

Not much to say about the course so far.. 16 contact hours, the tutors/lecturers all wear black, alot of model building, at times quite stressful. but its been unlike anything i've ever done before so its been a good learning experience and quite fun.

Have you visited our exhibition?

the Caramello hot chocolate at Mama Dukes sounds gooodd, must try next time, and UZU definately needs a bigger place lol. And, i find the bookshop prices quite okay for art things (in comparison to Eckersleys and Melbourne's Artist's Supplies), not sure about the text books though, we dont need to buy any but the amount of model making and art supplies we buy kinda adds up to buying textbooks. Is RMIT really that cheaper?

^I would love to do Korean.. and i wanted to continue Chinese from high school. Might try to see if i can do a language next year.

Despite that, I spend more time in the Clayton campus because I'm doing Chinese and Korean there, and languages have 4 contact hours rather than my 3 contact hours for Journalism.

Oh man the essays we have to write are nuts!

We have basically an essay due a week.

That's minus the other work we have to do, like presentations and keeping up with daily news T-T

[Guest olivialiu6]

Olivia, 20

3rd year Arts/Education (Secondary) at Clayton

Arts major: Chinese, minor: Linguistics and Korean

What I like about Monash: korean class <3, clubs that i've joined: mcac, student life, ccf

What I dislike about Monash: bit between menzies and matheson library that gets sooooo windy. hate having to walk through there on a windy day.

textbooks are so expensive

i'm currently on exchange in korea though. but i really miss going to monash lol (although i was getting sick of it before coming to korea)

i'm definitely up for a clayton meet up or something but i wont be back till semester two :x hope to meet some of u guys~

lol can someone tell me what the campus centre is like nowww. (photo(s)...?) before i left aus i know they were renovating the fob dining area and part around the shop and info desk.

lOstie: i'm a part of the cantonese christian fellowship too! i was the secretary last year. i actually am this year too but because i'm on exchange i can't really fulfill my duties. who did u meet there? maybe i'll get to see u when i get back to melb.

[Guest captivation]

^ Omo hello Olivia! Which Korean uni are you at? Yonsei?

I'm thinking of going on exchange perhaps semester 2 next year

[Guest AsOne]

[yuki_kt]

1.) Whats your name?

Kerry

2.) What you are studying and what campus your from?

Initially did a bachelor of science at clayton and completed with with a major in Genetics and minor in Chinese (you can do that if you start planning smartly in second year)

Now: bachelor of business, marketing major

3.) What year your currently in?

I'm on my final semester, just one very long 4 hour strategic marketing exam left and two marketing internship assignments to hand in by this friday

4.) How old you are?

Started at 18 years old - you can calculate the rest

5.) What do you like about Monash? OR complain about Monash

Seeing I've lived quite a bit of my life on both campus they are both very different

Clayton - food is bad & ridiculously expensive, the building are spaced too far apart from transport and other buildings (it's like 2km track from the engineering side down to menzies for class in the early morning for those who take s the 742 bus), another thing about Menzies is that it sways when the wind gets really bad (ultra scary at level 11), the Menzies room are forever too cold, too hot or no air to breath. The only good thing there? the Den to hang out with friends, well resourced libraries, the nice and big lawn to sit in the sun and the friendly students there.

Caulfield - parking is c**p, you get fined for just about anything and everything for parking there, even if you paided for it (they fined me for parking in a permit zone, that wasn't a permit zone the year before & didn't have any signage to say it was permit zone int he muilti-level carparking), a minority of the students there are a bit rude and a bit obnoxious (breathing smoke into your face in no smoking zones, walking straight into you with full force without saying sorry and a serious staring problem). Good bits - the lecturers and some tutors are generally a bit more friendlier to students (or maybe cause they think we are slow), the lecture threatres, computer labs and tutorial rooms are a lot lot lot better, the air conditioning and heating actually works, a lot of different food choices and the public transport convenience. Oh last but not least Mama Dukes coffee and breakfast!! mmm... hot pancakes

Oh another thing, for the students studying Chinese I highly recommend the Study Aboard program for Chinese in Shanghai. It's the most unbelieveable experience that you'll ever have!!!

Also good luck for exams coming up soon!!
