Didn't surprise me, they find weird ways to waste money on another note, yay another UWS student! Which campus do you attend?

Bankstown. What about you?

Also I stopped going to Kingswood only a few months after they finished building that great new library which was moderately annoying.

Ahh, Bankstown is only up the road from me. It's such a tiny campus! I'm at Campbelltown and Parra. IMO, uws campus are shit compared to other unis especially macq and unsw. SPEND MONEY ON BUILDING A FREAKING BAR ALREADY!!!

I did "History of Sexuality" at the Parramatta campus as a summer unit but that is the only time I have been there other than the open day I went to. It seems like a nice campus but people on UWS Confessions are always upset at the lack of parking, suggesting the $20 million could have instead been spent on an underground carpark.

Open Day compulsory for you?

I had an assignment due for it. My class had to make installations that use lighting, vision and audio with a small interactive element. My group got moving lights controlled by music and a kinect sensor and a water science experiment that shows when water is over a speaker cone played at a particular frequency and captured by a camera at the same frame rate it swirls up the hose
