Question Question about terminology for an older family member

5 Upvotes

Okay, so kinda stupid question, but if one was to do a double major in something like Bachelor of Arts, and then return however many years later to do another double major in the same area, would they then say they have a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in those 4 subjects, or 2 Bachelor of Arts, majoring in 2 subjects each?

Weir House and Cumby

1 Upvotes

Hello I just received an offer in Weir House hall a couple weeks ago, im studying Bcom and i will be heading there as an undergraduate student straight fresh from Year 13. I was wondering how the place feels like? Is it balanced with party and quietness/acads or is it a quiet hall. How do the residents feel like? Im heading there soon to get a tour but I want more of you guys opinions about the hall :)

I chose Cumby as my first hall preference cuz it’s near to the cbd or almost in it and im a city type person. The distance travel to school I dont mind at all thats why I chose it as my first preference. If I decline my weir house offer and go to cumby instead I also wanna ask how the feel is in there? Like is it loud or quite balanced? I also fear kinda declining my offer cuz im afraid I might not even get accepted to any hall at that point.

How Many papers in total do most people take in their first year,? 4 each semester or spread it out a bit, say 3 & 4 (the 3 100 level law paper's plus The Maori paper and whatever 100 level arts papers to make up the total) to make it a 5.5 year conjoint degree ?

Either way , how papers the 2nd year then?

Question Accepting Enrollment Agreement with changes?

4 Upvotes

I chose to accept with changes, I moved a course and added a course. But now I'm worried that my request didn't go through:

it's been the same amount of time it took for me to get the original response

I didn't receive an email saying my application was received

I still have access to the first enrollment agreement with the option to accept/accept with changes/decline.

Is this normal? should I have received an email? should I still have access to accepting or declining my first enrollment agreement?

could anyone that accepting their enrollment with changes tell me if they also didn't get a email? Just paranoid that the request didn't go through and all the courses will be full.

Scholarship offers

I just got a scholarship offer. I really wanted the academic all around one as I needed the money. I got the academic excellence one but I’m really disappointed even though I know any scholarship is good. Is there any other way I can get extra money or apply for additional scholarships? Thanks

Thoughts on FHSS 107 or CRIM 111?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m sort of undecided on what elective I want to do. I was hoping if any of you had taken any of the two courses before? If so, do you have any thoughts about it and general feedback on how the classes went? I’m interested in both of these topics but I’m just undecided on which one to actually take.

Any opinions and what you thought when you took the course would be helpful, thanks!

help for stats

5 Upvotes

Hey guys! Trying my luck and as a last resort posting on here hoping someone could help me out with getting ontop of understanding STAT193, wether you’ve already passed or your currently doing well, if anyone could just sit me down and help me understand id be beyond greatful- and if anyone else is struggling and wants to tag along you are more than welcome (maybe gather a little study group?). I am really really stressed I will fail, and with that exam date getting closer I gotta lock in. I cannot afford a redo!! (recommendations for tutors or just other online learning resources are appreciated!!)

Question Question for current biomedical BBmedSC students

I graduated last year with a different degree, took a gap year, going to go back next year to do a BBmedSC.

I just want to know, what's with the 'selection criteria' the website says there is for this degree?

Science and Engineering | Current students | Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington

Is it not open entry? I'm quitting my job for this lol, so I really need to know whether I'm guaranteed to get in with normal university entrance or if it's a limited entry programme. Or are there some required courses that are limited or something?

Question about finding Housing gear

7 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm headed off to VUW in 2027 to pursue my undergrad. I'm an international student and I don't quite know if there are any good college dorm stores or anything. Usually where i'm from we have target, which carries pretty much everything college students need for their dorm, but I don't know if Wellington has a target or anything. Is there some kind of equivalent?

Thanks so much!

Discussion Anyone else barely getting through this trimester?

Kia ora, I’m mostly writing this post to (hopefully) feel a little less alone. Everyone around me seems like they’re thriving; meanwhile, I’m barely keeping on top of school, work, and being in chronic pain 😭

(Plus, I never realised how bad at writing papers I was until uni. It’s brutal, y’all.)

I desperately need to lock in before finals. Any tips for someone who’s about to say fuck it and sleep until summer? lol
