Religion, politics, whatever. My kids can believe whatever they like. Barrack for another team and they'll be out!!
Congrats all.
Don't listen to the oldie. Have a great time and enjoy the freedom to do what you like when you like. Experience everything uni has to offer it can be fantastic time if you take up the opportunities that you have. If you can live at a college do it. I had much too good a time at one and it severly affected my grades but I wouldn't change that time for anything. There is plenty of time to be responsible when you get out into the workforce with the rest of us stiffs.

I've done the workforce thing for 10 years and am now doing the uni thing.
I have a tendency to do things in strange order.
The one thing you are likely to find hard BD is not having the money you are used to. At least when you go straight from school you are used to not having money. Going the other way is tough. Ohh the joys of two minute noodles and 10 cent hamburger paddies several times a week.

Quigley: tell me about it. I had amassed substantial savings to make my life as a student more comfortable, but then for some reason I went and bought a new car.
Hopefully I can manage on Austudy...
At least I can raid the stationery cupboard at work for supplies before I leave.

My brother did it after doing an apprenticeship and working in the mines for a few years. Went back and did engineering and did really well and had a great time doing it. The practical experience being out there really helped him he reckoned.
At least you will have a car to get you around BD. Although with the unis upping the parking you probably won't be able to afford to park it anywhere but what the hell.

My Advice: learn to prioritise and manage ur time well. evenly spread out every of ur other commitments with ur studies. best of luck! (easier said then done, taken me two yrs and still working on it )

Christ, I'm not that old!!
The reason I said that is I got into my course the hard way: mediocre TE score (yep, I was the last of the TE Score!) -> repeating a few subjects at a secondary college -> one year of a s**thouse Arts degree -> finally into my preferred course (which took my a semester longer than it should have). All through those I behaved pretty ordinarily adacemically-speaking and most of that was because I was too busy having a too good a time. So let's count the wasted years in there... Not to mention a HECS debt that was larger than it should've been. So it cost me in time and money.
Don't get me wrong, I've got so many great memories from uni, and I'm inot my preferred profession, but I wish I'd have been able to get the balance right a bit more. When you start sneaking bourbon into your lectures and not going to tutes because someone just bought a jug, it may be time to pull back a bit!!

Ahhh the "good old days". How quickly they become the good old days.
Bloody hell it's a small world. That is the exact course my brother got into in. He is taking a year off though.Thanks mate, I got into my first choice which is Bachelor of Business - Sports Management at Griffith University, Mt Gravatt.
