We sit on the various university committees, run events, run
campaigns, write submissions to government enquiries on your behalf
and advocate for all students. The thing that most people dont get
is how it all ties together. Whenever we run events or campaigns,
the student response is actually what lends weight to our words
when we sit on committees and thats where a lot of the real action
takes place.
In short, we are here to make sure things are good for you at
university and, if they arent, listen to you tell us what isnt good
at university so we can work on fixing that. We have fortnightly
meetings that any student can attend and speak at, raising issues
you want discussed and acted upon.
Or if you dont want to speak in a formal meeting, find us on
Facebook (Adelaide University Student Representative Council) and
leave a message on our wall.

Ive really enjoyed all my German courses at uni, but it was
really nice to get to the end and feel like you can really read and
write interesting things in another language. My only tip is to
make sure you still set aside time for learning grammar and
proofreading essays I thought the tutor was going to cry when she
read things wed written at midnight the night before, full of
mistakes wed never have dreamed of making in first year. Its also
really important to have the latest version of the textbooks if you
can get them before the start of the year its really helpful. If
youre organised early enough, you can order them online from Europe
for a fraction of the cost.
