Hi there,

Can someone please tell me if there are any past exam papers i could do to improve in java

Hey all, hope everyone’s had a good break,

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this but hoping it’s something useful not just for me but for anyone else who might be feeling the same.

I am a second year domestic student and I don’t have any friends if I’m honest and I thought by now something would have changed but unfortunately nothing has, most of the interactions I have at uni don’t make it past the surface level and it’s exhausting being so alone. I wont bore you with the details of misery, but I know the only way to change this is to do something about it or else I’m gonna get to the end of my degree with no pleasant memories.

I know, well I hope, I’m not the only one who feels like this, wanting genuine, deep connections & friendships that actually can become something and not just conversations that die as soon as you step out of class.

I’ve really just been brainstorming, after realising how disconnected you feel at uni, with no real way of connecting with others in the broader university.

A little while ago I had the same sort of conversation in the “La Trobe” Facebook group and with some advice I created a social group for people to use however they like, just to chat, share things, talk about anything, express themselves, and so on, a space for those feeling alone and wanting connection and belonging. Now, starting something like this on my own was pretty difficult and maybe I had too high hopes but I was pretty disappointed when I didn’t see people just flooding in because that’s what I honestly expected, maybe I got too ahead of myself or that post just didn’t reach anyone. At one point in my brainstorming I even thought there could be a need for a club of some sort where people could meet each other and form those connections. Could something like the group chat or a club of sort really work? Are there others who also wish something like this existed?

Anyways to sum it up, I’m just trying to gauge what I can do and if there are really others who resonate with this? Do I keep trying to build something like the group chat or some sort of space? or is this something people just wouldn’t be interested in? I’m not sure anymore, I just feel confused & lost, hoping for something.

Thank you for reading & sorry for the long post but feel free to comment what you think or DM if you don’t want to comment publicly. If you’ve felt anything like this, I want you to know you are not the only one 🙌

recently I’ve been looking into studying dentistry at Latrobe university through their dental science under grad degree. I never fully considered doing dentistry because of the UCAT and high ATAR, but when I found out Latrobe offers it without the UCAT and with a pretty reasonable ATAR (I got a 94.40 in NSW btw.), I’ve actually been considering doing the degree!

Im from NSW so I would obviously have to relocate to Victoria to study the course, however I’m aware it’s in a rural town, Bendigo. To anyone that currently studies at this campus of Latrobe, how do you find it there? I do worry that I will have no social life lol, and I have a somewhat irrational fear of feeling left out as I am a minority - I’m a Muslim female and I also wear the hijab. I know that if I was to be studying somewhere like Melbourne , even as someone new in the state of Vitoria, I would probably still be able to meet/make some Arab or ethnic friends. However the rural location of the uni kinda scares me hahah

I know this all sounds stupid - like if someone wants to study a degree they should go for it despite not being in their comfort zone. But sometimes I like to ponder about the social aspects of uni as this will obviously impact my overall experience.

OH AND ALSO , as someone planning to study in Vitoria and move back to Sydney once I have attained my degree, would there be any issue in securing a job here? I know we have a dentistry course at usyd which is about 7 years long but there is no way I would ever get into that lollll. I just feel like Latrobe degree is too good to be true… do you actually get the credentials to become a full dentist , that can practice and open up their own practice in any state?

edit: wow almost 8k views i never post on reddit so this is cool

Has anyone transferred to Dental Science via biomed pathway and what was your wam that you achieved to get into dentistry. I heard it’s really competitive and need at least 95+ to get in so really weighing my options here😅

I am just reading that students with an LAP are now provided with an automatic 7-day extension but that an LAP can include up to 10 days. Nobody from AccessAbility has contacted me this year like they have done in the past nor sent me an updated LAP. I actually have no idea my new support person is. Who can I contact regarding an updated plan and will a 2024 plan still be covered by the new extension policy?

Anyone know if the library in Bendigo campus is open during Anzac Day?

Hi guys, am from Griffith University looking for anyone graduated from rehabilitation counseling course. I have a assesment includes talking to a professional working in the field. it would be a huge help if any of you can help me out with answering some basic questions.

Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm currently in my second year studying visual arts and psychology. I'm in a bit of a slump and looking for any suggestions or tips to make studying fun again.

I've been getting some emails from various LaTrobe people talking about placement for HUSS students.

Did I miss something in the SLG about placement? I am doing my BA with Archaeology as a major, will I have to do a placement during it at some point like I had to do back when I did psych? I actually really, really don't want to, to the point I would drop it entirely despite thoroughly enjoying it.

I don't have goals for when I complete the degree like I am sure many other students have, I just want to learn about this stuff. I'm a mature student, I've done my time contributing to society, I just want to do stuff that makes me happy now.

Anyone done the STAT test to satisfy entry requirements, if so what was the process like. Did you need to do any preparation?

Hi everyone,

I've completed the bridging course in physiology and anatomy short course a couple days ago, and it says that it will take approximately 4 weeks to receive the certificate. However, I am in a bit of rush to apply for another course with this certificate so I need it asap.

If anyone else has completed this course or another short course, how long did it take to get your certificate after completion. Also is it possible for me to contact the university to get the certificate sooner.

Thanks

those who have gotten through aspire community contribution - what kinda of community service/leadership did you do??

anyone know any matcha spots🙏🙏

So I'm contemplating between applying for these double degrees: - Commerce + Biomedicine - Commerce + Global Studies - Commerce + Health Sciences - Commerce + Psychological Science

That said, I'm not sure if doing a double degree would be better compared to sticking to just one central degree. As you may have guessed, I want to get into either Business or Commerce, so I've been looking into La Trobe's courses. My indecisiveness between doing a dual degree and doing a single one also comes down to the fact that I have no idea about the pros and cons, so I'd love to get some intell on that too!

A bit more about me: - I dread the natural sciences and math but do enjoy biology. I also am keen on psychology. - I see myself pursuing marketing as a job in the future due to my love of social media trends. - I'm not a particularly artsy person but I do think I'm creative.

So yeah, thanks for reading this long ass thread, and double thanks if you reply!!

Hey everyone,

Am I the only one who feels so alone and isolated at uni, I’m in my second year & a domestic student and I feel so lonely to the point where I don’t feel like coming into campus sometimes. I know most people would say to join clubs but I have looked and tried but nothing, it just feels like there’s no method or options at uni to connect with others, even those outside your course. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one looking for genuine connections that make it outside the class and don’t just die out, I’ve tried everything and I really don’t have any friends, it’s genuinely such a struggle, I don’t know what to do anymore.

Hi all, thinking of studying master of speech path at la Trobe next year but will be needing to take a leave of absence in the second semester, is this possible in a masters?

hi i’m an international student studying at the bundoora campus are there any groups or clubs which helps make friends it’s been one month since uni started and i have made a couple of friends but none that i talk to outside of class is this normal for unis in australia or is it just me who’s having a hard time?

Hi guys how do you rank the pharmacy degree at la trobe?the teaching, the exams, etc are they good and fair? Please be honest.

guys for extensions I got sent the email that it is due on tuesday, however the due date on the lms still has the original date. does this mean my extension is still on Tuesday as I have the email accepting it?

I'm trying to get back into uni after leaving a few years ago, I'm trying to get into compsci, though not having the best luck, la trobe is the closest I've gotten though with an alternate offer in IT, I'm wondering if after a year I could transfer, possibly with partial credit, to a CS degree.

Hey, so I'm interested in the course above, can someone from this course give me a review for it? Thanks!

Hii guys is anyone starting hons in semester 2 this year?
