Meet up: Perth

Without going into personal bias and course comparisons, why would anyone choose a small university run under the principles of the catholic church over the most highly regarded, by the international community, university in the state???????

Just read Notre Dame's academic freedom statement for an example.

Unless of course your Christian.... Then by all means carry on :)

Not one religious bone in my body, I am a complete atheist. Notre Dame's Catholic values are in no way forced down your throat, in fact it is challenged quite prolifically within the Sciences. I originally wanted to go to UWA, but after talking to lecturers who had taught there previously (I only say this within the context of Environmental Science and Archaeology), that UWA is caught up in major political bias and the practical aspects of their units are majorly lacking.

My Archaeology major at Notre Dame has introduced me into practical work from my first semester, that's working on a genuine Archaeological site relating to the colonisation of Western Australia with the guy who originally discovered the site and has written multiple papers on it. Why would I want to attend a uni. that doesn't introduce me to practical work until my last year. We have a ton of UWA students coming on our digs that have cross enrolled into Notre Dame because UWA simply doesn't deliver.

Again, I can only speak from within the Environmental Science and Archaeology streams.

Hi, new member here from Perth. Mostly interested in cacti/succulents for my own garden but I am a lover of all things ethnobotanical.

Hey yo

What's happened to the Perth SAB gatherings? There hasn't been one for ages. Do any of you still meet up? It's Summer again and it's the perfect time to have a gathering again.

It'd be an easy way for me to sell some of the cacti I've got at the moment too.
