Every place has its people, and at UNSW you’re bound to meet some big personalities. Be they a student who loves their faculty a little too much or someone who parties just a little too hard, here are the 10 people you’ll most definitely run into at UNSW\u00a0from your first year to your seventh.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll always run smack-bang into them because they\u2019re always standing on the Library Walkway, same place, same time, same look of mutiny in their eyes. Better perfect the I-can\u2019t-see-you look now, because they\u2019ll be shaking flyers and petitions in your eyes from your very first day.<\/p>\n
DISCLAIMER: not all medicine students are like this, obviously. But it\u2019s hard to go by a couple of weeks without overhearing, at least once – on the bus, in the library, sitting at Matthews Food Court – someone talking about how south<\/em> the Boost Juice stand is.<\/p>\n Quips about being alternative and too cool for school aside, they\u2019ve got a point. The lines for the 891 are as long as the queues\u00a0camping out for Adele at times, so these people have decided to choose their own destiny. Even though the buses aren\u2019t express, even though the stop\u2019s a bit of a trek, even though you\u2019ll often see them slogging\u00a0it alone to Barker Street without anyone to complain about UNSW\u2019s transport system with them.<\/p>\n Speaking from experience, I\u2019ve encountered this type of UNSW student at least twice. Who knows? Maybe their shoes were stolen from them (it’s hard to know with UNSW’s colleges). Maybe they\u2019re rebelling against societal norms dictating their everyday dress. Or maybe they just hate shoes.<\/p>\n Well, UNSW\u2019s new tagline is<\/em> \u201cAustralia\u2019s Global University\u201d, so what did you expect? Be it\u00a0the US, China or Brazil, you\u2019ll be hearing accents and languages from all over the world. Be prepared to be immersed into a global community and constant run-ins with people from other countries.<\/p>\n Having a gym on campus leaves no question as to why you\u2019re seeing all these hot bodies everywhere. But the real gym junkies are easy to spot \u2013 they\u2019ll be wearing singlets, headbands and probably holding\u00a0a Nike drink bottle (or dumbbell)\u00a0as they jump squat\u00a0up the Basser Steps.<\/p>\n Someone in your lecture is bound to walk in every week with a fluoro green paper cup in their hands. Even if you don\u2019t see someone personally, there will usually be at least one Boost Juice cup in every bin on campus, poking through the mush that is campus food.<\/p>\n They\u2019re studying and working in industry at the same time, so watch out for bleary-eyed, suit-wearing people walking around campus, or those who look like they\u2019ve been at uni way longer than they should have.<\/p>\n These people are\u00a0super dedicated to their faculty\/weird interest society. Having signed up to the soc during O-Week, they\u00a0are\u00a0shameless promoters who change their Facebook cover photos to the promo\u00a0for next week\u2019s Free BBQ and get 50+ likes for their efforts because \u2013 well, who knows?<\/p>\n Coogee Bay Hotel, every other Thursday night, obscurely themed, you get the drill. But there are those who are willing to spend $10-$20 a\u00a0week\u00a0to party their nights away, and end up showing up to Friday\u2019s 9am tutorial like they\u2019re dead to the world.<\/p>\n Every place has its people, and at UNSW you’re bound to meet some big personalities.
