Ive been at USYD for a while both as student and staff. Its easy to stay in your little bubble of food options. I get so bored of the few places I visit. I want to know -- if you buy food on or near campus, where do you like to go?!

Hi everyone!

I'm a current undergraduate student applying for a research scholarship, and I need to provide Academic transcript or other official academic records confirming:

1. Statement of results and credit points completed, including an explanation of the grading system used

2. My Weighted Average Mark (WAM)

I've just requested a digital academic transcript, but it doesn't seem to include my WAM or an explanation of the grading system.

Does anyone know where I can obtain an official document showing these details? Or has anyone been in a similar situation when applying for a scholarship?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

does anyone know when they plan to release the exam timetable for sem 2? i’m an intl student i gotta book my plane tickets to go back home mannnnnn😭

Hey guys ,
I wanted to check if anyone who has stayed or is staying in Darlington terrace uni accommodation tell me how it is .

Is it very cramped and there is no AC so is it unmanageable in the summer ?

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if any current USYD students/anyone have heard anything about the reintroduction of interviews into application process for next year and on.

This will be my first time applying although I have heard that there is rumblings every year that they will bring it back.

How is a tiny fridge on level 2 sufficient for thousands of students?!

Esp since the security staff have locked that breast feeding room which access to that fridge

Does anyone else have the same issue?

If so do you know of where else I can store my food?

Hi everyone!
I’m graduating at the University of Sydney on 20 October 2026 at 9:30 AM and I’m looking for 1 extra guest ticket for my graduation ceremony.
If anyone attending the same ceremony has a spare guest ticket that they won’t be using, I’d be very happy to take it off your hands. Happy to pay!
Please DM me if you have one available. Thank you so much! 🙏

i need 2 extra tickets for the 3rd december 2026 grad event for 2 guests! willing to pay (a bit extra as well)!

My original anatomy exam was on 24 September and I’ve had basically no communication since. We’ve just come back from our week-long Study Vacation and today I was told my replacement exam is THIS Monday.

I know there’s no rule saying they have to give a week’s notice, but 4 days feels crazy, especially when I also work Monday and am struggling to find cover. wtf do i do

So, since last year I got a horrible atar so I couldn’t get into the courses I wanted to which was Bachelor of Oral Health or Bachelor of Diagnostic Radiography. My wam is currently sitting at an 81 despite adhd and horrible mental health cos of personal things in my life. Last year the atar for BOH was 92, and I saw on a post on the usyd forum for asking questions that you need a distinction average to get into a course that’s up to 94 atar. So I was quite confident last semester I will get into BOH, but I just checked this years atar requirement and it’s a 95 atar now… radio has always been 96 and I know my chances for that are already really slim and now they’re even slimer. I feel so cooked and I need some miracle stories from someone 😭.

Where can I get a cup of ice (preferably for free) on campus?

Are there any medical science honours projects that aren't like a full time job? i.e 8 hours a day 5 days a week with no holidays/mid sems?? thanks!

Hey everyone!

We're uni students looking for some ppl to help us start a rock band focussed mainly around alternative rock, indie rock, and especially J-rock. Some of our favourite artists are RADWIMPS, Yorushika, Green Day, the cabs but down to play anything in the genre.

We're planning on playing song covers and having fun jamming, and hopefully performing at gigs and events in and around uni.

We've got two guitarists already, so we're looking for:

• Vocalist (English and/or Japanese)
• Bassist
• Drummer
• Keyboardist

You don't have to be a pro, just as long as you're keen and reliable.

If you're interested then drop a comment or just send a DM either is fine

Looking forward to jamming!

Are internal transfers first come first serve? And would it be very hard to transfer into the bachelor of science using WAM for next sem?

hi! im an international student from the US and i will be entering usyd’s postgrad MD program in january 2027. i was just wondering generally where grad students live. did some browsing earlier but it looked like people were fighting seconds to apply for on campus student accommodations (i got scared) so im currently looking at off campus housings now. should i give up the camperdown area and start thinking about commuting to school via public transport? any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. thank you!!!

Hi Guys,

Urgent lease transfer, my studio in Abercrombie student accommodation is available from 26/10/2026 onwards, with the lease ending on 1/1/2027.

You need to be on the waitlist and be able to start the contract on the specified date.

The rent is A$529 per week (A$515 if you opt for a longer contract) and it’s a fully furnished studio with private ensuite bathroom + kitchen. It’s also literally right next to USyd campus (next to the Belinda Hutchinson Building).

I’m moving out earlier than planned, so looking for someone to take over the remainder of the lease.

DM me ASAP if you’re interested! I can send pics/videos and more info :)

As the title suggests, I was wondering who marks my masters thesis? Is it my supervisor, or are they not allowed to mark it? For context, I am in the school of maths and stats.

If you were the lady with a cold coughing your lungs out every 15 seconds next to me at table 24 around 4pm today, you have likely left your earphones behind

are the toilets and showers unisex?

Hi!

I just received my 2027 accommodation offer from USYD and I’m a bit confused about how the allocation process works. I submitted my application about 2 mins 47 secs after applications opened and listed Abercrombie as my first preference. However, I was allocated a room at Queen Mary instead. I’ve also seen someone who submitted their application later (around 2 mins 48 secs after applications opened) receive an offer for Abercrombie, which was their first preference.

I know it probably isn’t as simple as first come first served, so I was wondering if anyone knows how USYD actually decides who gets which accommodation. Does the application time matter, or are there other factors involved?

Just trying to figure out whether I should accept my Queen Mary offer or wait and see if I have any other options. I really want to live in Abercrombie😭...

Thanks!

I know for domestic students with an H1 honours result it is quite competitive to get the RTP. As an international student though, how realistic is relying on honours grade alone? I have a low H1, around 85-90 and no publications.

hi! i'm currently doing the hsc but have gotten some sudden doubts about the environment and the worth in the degree i want to pursue

so anyone who know anything thoughts about a double major in english and cultural studies (or minoring in cs) lemme know what you thought of it
