UNSW, in every other conceivable way, is amazing. But getting here is an absolute bitch. I'm in a 100 metre line for the bus to Central as we speak

Buses in general are awful in Sydney with all of the construction and traffic around..... would not recommend.

The light rail won't be finished for a while....

Ohh I see!! Are trains ever usually delayed? I'm from the northern beaches so trains are foreign to me  ;D but it's correct there's no parking at UTS for students right?

Also what is the policy for attendance in lectures/tutorials etc? I know ICMS at manly have a certain attendance rate needed for lectures whereas at my boyfriend's uni they only need attendance for pracs

You can miss two tutorials per subject per semester and still be eligible to pass. If you need more time off than that you need to speak to the subject coordinator. There's no minimum attendance for Communications lectures. Occasionally they might take a roll, but you'll be given warning in advance if it's compulsory. So the only compulsory thing is two hours of a tutorial per subject (so six compulsory contact hours) per week.

I've been on a few delayed trains this year, mostly due to fatalities or injuries, so definitely not an everyday occasion. They're usually prompt. By the time I get off the train I can be at UTS within 6 minutes if I'm walking fast. Lots and lots of people in my classes are from the Northern beaches. No allocated student parking, correct, but you can use the Broadway shopping centre parking, Powerhouse Museum Parking, and Paddy's Market parking. All, I believe, have daily discounts for students. But I never ever drive into Uni, I only ever catch the train, so I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs of that :)
