Ouch, I thought I had an advantage going back to taking my bachelor's degree with top grades back during my diploma. I thought doing the same thing 2 years longer than my classmates would give me an edge.
Oh, and I'm going to be seeing pages and pages on their application next week. And there's a test the week after that. Things like this make me wish I went to a cheap, crappy university. Now I'm definitely not going to be kliking this semester.

Remember though, Wikipedia ALWAYS makes mathematics look far more complicated since it never presents it for learning but presents it to give as much info as possible about whatever topic you're looking at.
Lol, true. But I checked everywhere else and it's HARDER.

You should come to my uni it's really easy. If you forget a deadline, they send you an email and extend it by a week, the kindly souls. You don't even have to turn up to lectures to pass, just scribble something down about Lara Croft and demographics and you win.
My old uni was much like that (apparently its the toughest in Malaysia). The uni my mom lectures in is worse.. they're PhD students and they can't even spell properly! God, they answer multiple-choice questions with ABCD and a few get 10%. How the hell do you get 10% when it you'd get 25% by guessing?! Apparently standards are going down all over Malaysia because students who have bad grades can't get a job and that hurts the employability of graduates rating or something. My sister's uni gives you 2 chances after failing all subjects before they kick you out.
UNSW is like trying to fail students or something... after all, each international student brings in about $15000 a semester And apparently being both a research and party uni means that we should have 12-week semesters instead of 14, probably so students have more time to party at the end, lol. I so hate how half my class is smarter than me right now.

On my Uni, we only have eight exams a year, and that and the laborations and various assignments is all you really have to care about. Still it's one of the two best technical universities (could very well be considerd, at least, the coolest ) in my country, and the outlook to get a good job is good. It's a five year program. 4 to go.
Does this make any sense outside of Sweden?

Lol, my gf's uni does that. Tuition fees are like RM1000 per semester, but a single parking fine can be RM50.

when i start uni this year i'll be paying about 3100 GBP tuition fees (around 6200 US$ a year).. + accomodation fees which is about the same again so.. after 3 years at least $36000. mmmm debt.
