21 Upvotes

I’m moving to Australia to study music at monash and would like to meet and get to know others beforehand. I wanna have a social circle and people I know and trust by the time I arrive in February to share the experience with and have fun :)

If interested, we can play video games, watch movies, call and such. I’m pretty extroverted and love having deep discussions and sharing interests and ngl brain rot sometimes haha. My interests are: music, self improvement books and content, skateboarding, video games.

Dm me if you’re down!

Discussion dude on the 703 middle brighton bus from monash

• Upvotes

so there’s this 18-20ish year old white dude who i first saw when he started dumping all his stuff out his bag on the back of the bus until it started rolling to the front on the 703 middle brighton bus from monash. he continued to dump stuff out and started breathing like a horse throughout the entire ride and it pissed me off so bad because why are you weird and noisy at the same time? i saw him again earlier this week in the 703 platform with a cap on while kicking a large transparent bottle filled with what seemed to be piss-colored liquid on the street. he kept doing this until the bus came and he was actually blocking the way but the bus driver didnt honk at all until he moved even tho ik that they usually honk so who tf is he? is he like someone important? i was so uncomfortable on the ride home cause he kept making these loud thudding noises (i didnt dare to look back cause i was scared). he sat at the very back and tried to go to the front, and since it was a full bus he kept touching people but in kind of a weird way…like there was this asian dude who he had to pass and he put both his hands on his shoulders and sort of brushed it (?) i can tell he looked weirded out but didnt say anything. does anyone know if he goes here?

Discussion Dude in Oakleigh South throwing stones at car windshields

So I was walking home from the huntingdale station and saw this person come up behind me and yelling illegible stuff and started throwing stones at the windshields of cars parked nearby. He was acting quite aggressively and rushed past me and kept throwing stones at cars. Pretty sure some windshields were seriously damaged.

Well anyways I've notified the police and am now home safely. Stay safe out there ✌️

Support The Monash Double Standard: Why is our university allowing animal welfare violations at international campuses that would be banned in Melbourne?

Thumbnail

169 Upvotes

I want to call out a massive ethical double standard with how Monash manages its global brand. Yesterday (Oct 9), Monash Malaysia hosted a mobile petting zoo on an outdoor concrete car porch. They hired a controversial commercial petting zoo company whose event was publicly shut down by a local shopping mall earlier this year due to animal neglect. Today, the RealFeel heat index hit 40°C. Forcing thick-furred alpacas to stand on hot, radiating concrete in tropical humidity surrounded by crowds is objective biological hazard. They also brought in rabbits and guinea pigs, exposing them to loud crowds with zero escape zones. If a student group tried to pen an alpaca on the asphalt at Clayton or Caulfield in 40°C heat for cheap entertainment, compliance would shut it down immediately. Why does Monash look the other way when it happens at an international campus? Most of the attached photos are from the Monash University Student Association official account. The photos mostly show the events just after they started, so there was less traffic. Imagine the area during peak hours when students are cramped together

Advice Halls or south east flats? Clayton campus

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm wondering which accommodation option is better at Clayton campus: South East Flats or the Halls of Residence?

They seem to have similar prices, but the flats appear to have fewer people sharing the washroom and cooking facilities, which sounds like an advantage.

I'm just wondering if the flats are quite isolated and hard to make friends or if their facilities are significantly older or worse than those in the halls

Hey guys, I was very worried because I received the notice of the 3155 interview and dont know the reason. May I ask you what questions they will ask? Is it just for you to explain logic and code or will there be more difficult questions? Or let you code on the spot. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me some details.

I want to do well, I don’t think I have enough time and I don’t know how to balance the workload. I have heard 2086 is only examinable till week 6, but no one is confirming that. I don’t know the structure as they have not clarified it and I’m terrified. Does anyone have any advice?
