Calling all Chem majors!! Whats your experiences so far? (Thinking of transferring to USYD!)

Hello! Im currently doing my first year of my BSc Chemistry Major at Macquarie.

I was initially doing Marketing as I was a bit unsure of myself doing chem. Half way through the first semester however realised I absolutely couldnt stand anything business. And I found myself paying much more attention to my Chemistry flexible zone…my marks definitely reflected that, lol. And so, now im here! Glad i got out of there early…

Macquarie is a great Uni, but I cant sugar coat things and say that they have the fanciest resources when it comes to Science. USYD i hear particularly good things about when it comes to Chem! So, im thinking of possibly transferring over…

And so, I ask…what are your guys experiences with a BSc and Chemistry Major at USYD? Do you have any general advice for someone studying a Chemistry degree, anything I should brush up on? Anything specific about USYD that differs from MacU that i should be aware of? Eek! Many questions! Absolutely anything is helpful, I like to plan ahead of time…and know what I am getting into.

Thank you so so much!!
