Tips for a University Degree Wannabe (UDW)

UDW: definition - a person who is convinced they want to go to University but are not sure where or exactly what they want to study!  Also suffers from ATAR anxiety.

• Choose a degree that allows some flexibility in selecting a sequence of units that is right for you
• Make sure the program offers opportunities for practical work experience (sometimes called Industry Based Learning)
• Do not base your decision solely on what your friends are doing
• LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!  Make sure travel time from your residence to the campus is within what you are willing and able to do on a day to- day basis
• Do not just pick courses based on ATAR alone
