The Issue on the (time)Table
Apologies for the post vacuum as vacation period went by. Hopefully, like myself, you all are coming back into the semester refreshed and ready to tackle on new challenges and subjects (also, “warm” winter welcome to the mid-years!). I myself would like to talk about one such challenge, and some advice on how you can […]

With a Little Help from My Friends
Studying as a Jaffy first-year student is not easy. From the expectations to listen and understand most, if not all the lectures, the assignments that you have to hand in before its due (and the notion that you’re still working on it creeping up to you everyday until you hand it in), and the readings/problem booklet/quizzes […]

Is UniMelb disability friendly?
For the past two weeks I have been on crutches, and it has forced me to consider whether getting around UniMelb is easy for physically disabled people. The short answer is: no. After the first Monday of hobbling back and forth across campus to classes and study areas, I realised that I very rarely see […]

The Official Week! (Kiryll)
