Sorry for another post again lol, was just wondering from anyone with knowledge of either or both halls (or if anyone went to one of them) what hall you think is overall better? cost wise I calculated the fees on the website and the difference (factoring in entry fees) if I am correct is around $400, so I was wondering for any info on either of them (and which one is harder to get into?)
Thanks :)
Hi,
I submitted my application for halls a few days after it opened and wasn't fully aware of the fact that you had to be strategic about what halls you chose (kinda dumb ik lol but I think I got overexcited about applying) in regards to first choice and competitiveness etc, then later realised I choose 3 competitive/smaller pool ones. I read on the site that you can change your top 3 by emailing the accommodation office by September, so I am thinking of doing this for my third option. My first pick is selwyn, and my second is Knox (again, ik this is (from what I have heard) a first choice hall, but I don't want to change it as my second option because I really like it and hope that if I do not get into selwyn, I hopefully have a better chance in getting into knox than if I never put it down at all yk). My third I didn't too too much research into so I was not aware it was competitive (....carrington. im embarrassed to write this haha, I swear I had no idea it was hard to get into), so I was wondering if anyone may have suggestions for a safe but still good third choice option. obviously this will probably be one of the bigger halls (so if anyone is from any of the bigger ones any anecdotes and advice would be greatly appreciated) but Im not too sure about unicol.... might be too big for me haha.
thanks
Hi!!
A few days ago I applied to study environmental management next year and I was thinking about adding an additional major (can you do that once your application has been accepted?), but I didn’t know what exactly so I just submitted it as a single major. I’ve been thinking about a double major more but I’m still not quite sure what to put in terms of what would work well with it. Also wondering what might be good for minors
I’m more interested in the environmental consultant/officer/advisor etc kind of route as opposed to more technical things or purely conservation stuff (obviously I know I probably won’t get the kind of job I want right away, but I’m pretty sure I’m more interested in that side of things so I’m wanting to tailor my study to this). I know GIS is a rlly good one and I am thinking of doing that as a minor, but not too knowledgeable about the other related subjects such as environment and society, ecology, and sustainable business
Thanks :)
Hi!!
A few days ago I applied to study environmental science next year and I was thinking about adding an additional major (can you do that once your application has been accepted?), but I didn’t know what exactly so I just submitted it as a single major. I’ve been thinking about a double major more but I’m still not quite sure what to put in terms of what would work well with environmental science.
I’m more interested in the environmental consultant/officer/advisor/planning etc kind of route as opposed to more technical things or purely conservation stuff (obviously I know I probably won’t get the kind of job I want right away, but I’m pretty sure I’m more interested in that side of things so I’m wanting to tailor my study to this). I read on the vic site that GIS is available as a minor (is this still true? it wasn’t underlined like the rest) and if it is I’m planning to do that as a minor, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what could be a good second major. I was thinking maybe data science, but tbh it’s probably a bit too much to handle for me given how mathy it is. I know environmental science has maths too obviously, but likely not to the same extent and env sci is interesting to me so I feel like I can handle the less fun stuff.
I’m still not 100% set on doing a second major, I’ve just been thinking about it. I know things like policy (btw no I don’t really think I want to be a environmental lawyer) might be good for what I’m planning on doing, and i was considering Information Systems, but would that be unnecessary if did GIS? The majors I’ve considered are data sci (potentially as a minor?), information systems, and public policy. Others I kind of looked at but was unsure of was sustainability and ethics in business, geology (same feeling with data science, scared it would be a bit full on as a second major), commercial law, and ecology and biodiversity. Not that sure on these ones. I was wanting to do something to do with resource management/environmental planning or management but I don’t think vic has this.
Sorry for all these words haha, I’m just unsure what would be best, and being the first in my family to go to uni the jargon and all the diff majors are a bit confusing, so I thought it may be helpful to ask here. Thanks
