Anyone at University of Sydney? (help!!!)

I'm transferring to university of sydney to continue my major in spanish language and italian language electives.

I'm really scared coz I'm worried that I will find it hard to make friends. I'm shy. Also I will be moving out of my parents house for the first time and will (hopefully) be living in the women's college.

Anyone at the university of sydney and/or live at the women's college at university of sydney?

Any advice???

Hey efj, lucky you!! My sister goes to USYD and trust me, making friends there isn't hard at all.....

 

[Cicciolina]

Yep I'm at Usyd!
If you're living in college, trust me, you'll have absolutely NO problem making friennds Also remember there are so many people in the same boat as you and if you just talk to the person next to you in tutes or lectures, you're bound to make friends!

I will be living away from my parents for the first time! Really scared! I will be staying at the Women's College, do you know anything about it? Are the girls nice there?

Orientation Week at University of Sydney or a New University for others.

Okay, I have a question as I am REALLY shy to begin with, but I feel absolutely uncomfortable durning orientation. I already had one at my current university but I was (still am) living at home. And now I am transferring on going to live in a women's residence college at university of sydney away from my supportive family...

The thing is, I'm not just nervous about socialising with new guys, I'm also nervous on what other girls will think of me.

Also if anyone has information about university of sydney orientation and living in one of those residential colleges, do I have to go to all the events at orientation? I'm not the party type and really really nervous about socialising!!!!

Whats AU like for Fashion design?

I know Fashion capitials consist of New york, London, Milan, Paris...but what is Australia like? I've always thought it was a beautiful country and when I become successful I would love to work there!!

What do you guys think?!

 

[iluvaar]

^^Australia, i think, is a good place for fashion, but in my own opinion, the Aus. fashion industry can be sometimes, unoriginal and even ppl who work in the fashion industry (i.e. designers, journalists, etc.) agree that magazines and designers themselves emulate things that come straight from America or somewhere else overseas and then tag it their 'own' concepts. So, I don't know... I guess it's abt how you see fashion itself and how you intepret it.
I hope that helps you

RMIT in melb is a gd place as well...

TAFE in Sydney- designers such as Lisa Ho, Akira Isagawa, Alex Perry and Nikki Zimmerman have graduated from there. I think all the fashion courses are now based in Ultimo campus though... go here for more info

I did the fashion business course at FBI, biggest waste of time ever re.education wise, but myself and two of my friends all got jobs in fashion PR through doing work expience at our time there.
I am now doing the Diploma of Textiles, clothing and footwear at TAFE and its awesome.

 

[JoeG]

hello everyone
I am looking to apply for the fashion course at UTS, any suggestions? Thanks Joe

 

[rarasuperstar]

make sure you can draw or if you can't go and do the workshop they have before you go for the interviews. They run through how to put your portfolio together and i think some drawing techniques

 

[JoeG]

Thank you so much rarasuperstar for your response, I can draw ok, so you just have to show them some of your work in the past is that right? What sort of questions do they ask in the interview and is the course at Tafe better?!

Joe
