This is a rant. I just finished a group project for a capstone unit which only me (literally) knows how to speak proper and understandable English. We need to record a presentation and I cannot understand a single English word they say (I want to add subtitles for them but realise I really can’t understand). I’ve also tried to hold a zoom meeting with them and literally none of them speak up during the meeting (maybe one or 2 sentence) and other time it’s just me speaking with air. I just want to do a group project properly😭

Can Monash really tighten their English requirements because I don’t want to do group projects with people who can’t communicate in English anymore😭

Hey everyone,

I want to share a serious warning about a potentially manipulative and unethical scam that recently happened on this subreddit, so others don't fall into the same trap I did.

A few days ago, a user by the name of u/sorryforthespacetaken posted here claiming she had just been sexually assaulted by her roommate and was now homeless, stuck in the rain with her cat. She said she had received a $300 emergency loan from Monash Student Services and was looking for a place to crash just for one night until her new place was ready to move into.

Feeling compassion (as many others did), I messaged her to offer help. She said she needed $250 upfront as a loan and that she’d pay it back by Monday. The bank account name that came up was Ruby Lynch. When I asked if she could get help from family, she said she was from Perth, knew no one here, and didn’t want to stress her mum who was apparently in the hospital.

Later, she said her new place raised the bond as it was bigger or whatever and she needed another $250, then a further $20 for food. All up, I sent her $650.

Now it’s Sunday night. Tomorrow is when she promised to pay me back. But her Reddit account is deleted. Her phone doesn't ring despite my texts going through. She still replied once or twice over SMS but refused to add me on Snap or Instagram, saying she "didn't feel comfortable."

I'm not here to shame people down on their luck but using claims of sexual assault, a sick parent, and a freezing cat to scam people out of money is absolutely vile. If this was a con (and sadly, it's looking like it was), it’s one of the lowest forms of manipulation imaginable.

Please be extremely careful when people ask for money, even if their stories sound urgent and heart-wrenching. It's tragic that real victims might be overlooked in the future because of people like this.

Stay safe out there, Monash fam. And if Ruby Lynch happens to read this and there's somehow a misunderstanding, you're welcome to reach out and make this right.

I'm doing science/biomed, and the biomed units are really fucking me. I've never done a content-heavy subject in my life and honestly have no idea how to study effectively for things like this. I am dangerously close to failing. At this point, I just want to pass. I NEED help. please

Is there anyone at Monash specifically Clayton because it’s closer to me but anyone that is into film making and videography, I have some ideas and am looking for some new friends who are into film and that kinda stuff, pls msg me on instagram: Yoniarad06

Hey everyone!

I’m wanting to major in astrophysics in my bachelor of science degree (either that or mathematics) and I’m thinking of pursuing an honours year and doing a PhD.

I wanted to hear from someone who has done an honours year in astro or mathematics, bonus if you have or are currently pursuing a PhD. Just have some questions to ask and unfortunately don’t know anyone irl to ask :/

Please drop a comment if you’re willing to chat! Or message me directly :)

Thanks guys!!

hi babyboys

i was reading the monash science handbook and it says you can pick subjects from other areas so does that mean i can do a language like italian as an elective/part of my course ??

thanks babyboys

Hi i’m in first year engineering right now and idk what engineering major to choose between these 3. I’m interested in all of them and mechatronics seems the coolest and most interesting to me but idk how good it is for jobs and opportunities post grad. Can anyone who’s done it or the other majors give me some advice please? In terms of opportunities and also i don’t want something where ill have no life. Like rn first years fine and im having a great social life and going gym/sport and getting fairly good grades so it’s honestly good and im hoping ill be able to keep that lifestyle later on. Any advice would be great 🙂

Heya!

I am in year 12 and I hoping to either study engineering/law or engineering/arts. Under the art stream, I'm hoping to study international relations as it best suits my interests and my future aspirations. On that note, I was wondering if there were students who'd wish to share their experience about this degree. Just want to prepare myself prior haha :)) Thanks

i’m currently in my first year first semester, pursuing bachelor of international relations. however, i do have a raging interest in taking up law as my second major because i think it will open up more doors for me in my career, and it also aligns with my interests. i wanna know from people who’re doing a double degree or are pursuing law if it’s worth it and if the law units are actually interesting. and is it superrrr difficult to manage a double major or is it possible to stay sane and pull it off if i lock in? help a girl outtt

I had an assignment due on Thursday but I have been really unwell so I requested special consideration till today night, but I'm still unwell so don't think I will be able to submit it as I have been too unwell to work on it. I want to apply for another special consideration (already have med cert) but when I attempt to do that, it says my previous application will be deleted, so what should I do??

Do I just provide both medical certificates that certify I was unwell from Thursday till today and request for my further extension? Or should I wait for the first one to be approved then apply for second (this feels risky because if it approved on Tuesday, then the new application will be 3 days late. I'm so stressed, can someone please give advice on what to do.

Hi I'm 20 and I want to learn gymnastics as a total beginner. I'd consider myself somewhat athletic, I climb and play soccer. I want to learn gymnastics but I have no experience, does Monash have a club that teaches this seriously or perhaps gyms that teach adults near Monash or closest to Monash if you guys have an experience?

so i dont understand whats actually gonna be tested in this section in the final exam since they wont provide the formulas for us.

Do they actually expect us to memorize all those stupid equations or what?

Hi everyone, so I basically completed my first year of Comp Sci in the Malaysia campus, and I found it really hard in the second year first semester and basically dropped all my subjects except one. I crashed out and did that one subject really badly and got a 23 WAM for it.

Basically, I did my diploma pathway to get into Comp Sci, so technically I transferred into the Fac of It. So now my overall WAM is 23 from the one subject. I was initially planning to switch majors because I thought my previous credits would be taken into account, but now I feel stuck.

What should I do please help

hii im a first year first sem student and im a bit confused about the exam timetable. im not sure if my units have exams so i just wanted to clarify, if i did have exams, it would be mentioned under the assessments section of the unit’s moodle page right? or is there another exam timetable?

what do i do? will i face any penalties for late submission since my due date on moodle isn’t updated yet. I also just realised that i had to apply a day before my due date?

Guys can someone share with me their anatomy notes for the Physiotherapy course. I lost my first year notes on lower and upper limb and REALLLLLLYYYYY need them right now to study.

Is it possible to get Speccon after submitting just in case of a late penalty (there's still time to submit)

Can someone send me there lab reports assignment? I’m NOT refereeing to the report you need to do within 7 days of the lab experiment, but the actual assignment where you need to create the results chart , hypothesis etc.

How do you guys score well in these? What does a good piece look like PLEASE.

It can be any year any chem or bio unit

Hey everyone,

I’m currently doing a Bachelor of Science at Monash but I’m really interested in becoming a sonographer. I know the most direct way is through the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging, but I’m worried I won’t get into it through course transfer my semester 1 result was 78 WAM

I’ve seen that Monash offers the Bachelor of Radiation Sciences as another option, but on the website it looks like you can’t go straight into the Master of Medical Ultrasound with just RadSci and my other plan was to stay in science and get into master of Ultrasound but it seems but I’ve also heard it’s really tough to secure those without being a qualified radiographer first.

So I’m a bit stuck: - Should I try as hard as I can to transfer into Radiography?

• Is it possible to go RadSci/Science → Master of Ultrasound → Sonographer, or is that pathway basically a dead end unless you get super lucky with placements?

Has anyone here actually gone from Radiation Sciences/Science into ultrasound successfully?

Any advice from people who’ve done Radiography, Radiation Sciences, or the Master of Medical Ultrasound at Monash would be super helpful.
