Student review [#27588] for BCom Psychology
at Macquarie University

I’m early on in my program but my university is large. And local. So many people from my high school go there that it almost feels like high school still. It’s so local. I love this and I hate it cause I have a close friend in each of my degrees (I study two: Commerce and Psychology), but I also see people I would rather leave in the past. The program is as interesting as it can be, though studying in university is, in essence, studying in high school without the fun, unless you have friends in your course. It’s learning all content without a laughter break. They do ice breakers for the first class of each subject, but most of us change our classes around for the first month so you end up not knowing anyone anyway and since there’s barely any time to talk, most of the time you’re sitting alone or sitting with people and not talking. Despite this, socialising outside of class is made quite simple with the vast array of clubs available to join and the events planned by each. There’s a career newsletter released weekly and coupled with my double degree I feel employment prospects are bright. There are international students but I’ve yet to meet them, coupled with covid issues I think they may be predominantly online.
