Likewise - it was glorious.

What are you on about?

Edit: Right, nevermind. There were a few classes on Saturdays. Not subjects I ever took, but some friends of mine did here and there.

I've had exams on Saturdays and Sundays before though

You said no classes on Saturday and Sunday which led me to believe that some people had classes on Saturday and Sunday which leads me to believe that Australia sucks. To the thread!

I've already posted in it

what are you doing theresa?

I've narrowed my uni down to 3 courses, but don't really want to do one of them because it's in a pretty shit rough city, another is down on the south coast miles from anyone i know and the 3rd is near most of my mates and pretty much what i want to do, i think.

You're off to Uni? Nice! Why have you not posted anything about that?

course it's an ambition not anything certain yet. They need to accept me first lol.


I'm aiming at starting in 2010 or 2011 at the latest.


Ecotourism in Napier Uni, Edinburgh.

Oceans & Climate in Liverpool

Oceanography/Marine Science at Plymouth.

the ecotourism one is awesome though, you get to spend 12 months in either tobago, fiji, south africa & do monthly visits to portugal.

Personally, I would recommend eco-tourism. Because the oceans are gonna be pretty fucked from pollution in 10 years time!

Edit: Yeah, cool, South Africa? Nice!

dude, don't do the climate thing. fuck climate. just do regular oceanography

Do ecotourism - sustainable tourism initiatives in the developing world are the next big thing.

this is what i call a non-degree; it's like going to uni to be a naturopath or some bs like that. if you're going to go to uni, do an actual profession.

these sound better, just make sure they are actually a "bachelor of science (majoring in xyz)" and not some random qualification that the university made up, such as "bachelor of teh oceans mang".

if you have a solid grounding in science, your qualifications will be seen as a superset of that ecotourism crap and will give you far more options for work. a similar example would be if you wanted to go into computer networking. a "bachelor of IT" is not a profession, it's a dud degree that all the retards who weren't good at mathematics do. a "bachelor of engineering (majoring in telecommunications)" is the degree you would want. makes sense?

Another pro tip: once you have settled in, try taking some courses as an external student. If you have self-discipline, you will realise going to uni is a complete waste of time and you are better off studying at home.

I haven't been to uni since first semester, except when I had exams or mandatory attendance. I have a distinction average GPA, thus far. My grades actually went up when I started enrolling off-campus.

Originally posted by Lebezniatnikov That was actually always my ideal schedule. It makes for a painful day, but I enjoyed having the free time the rest of the week. That, and it made keeping track of due dates a lot easier.

No way, man. Not me. Two or three upper-level finance classes per day were more than enough for me. I liked my classes spread out over four days.

It's a rapidly growing field too - I know a lot more students in my grad program that started taking tourism management courses in conjunction with sustainable development stuff in order to be marketable. There's money to be made as environmental awareness is catching on more quickly in parts of the global south than here. I would see if the program offers coursework in the human development side as well; tourism programs that can be ecologically sound and indigenous-friendly will be major sustainable win in the next decade.

And... most of it is happening in places that fashion themselves as some version of paradise.
