The incredible expanding UC

Link is fine.

Link is fine as long as you don’t try to launch it using Chrome. Why Google Docs wouldn’t work properly with Google Chrome is beyond me, but I can see the PDF with no problems in IE9. In Chrome, it’s a blank grey screen.

Sounds like a problem with Chrome loading the appropriate Adobe PDF plugin. Safari (another webkit browser) also has some issues with PDF plugins.

I assume it is people enrolling at UC to avoid those weird law students at the elitist prison that is the ANU.

Wonder if those numbers include the students at the UC Senior Secondary College Lake Ginninderra

Link isn’t working – but I’d like to know whether it really points to Canberra being a centre of academic excellence, or more to UC being cashed up by international students??

“There is no doubt that Canberra is going to face a tough few years ahead and it is essential that we create an economy in the ACT that also draws on expertise of a wide range of professions, not just the dominant industry of the public service.

So even the Labor party chief minister has given up on Federal Labor winning the election? Or am I reading that statement incorrectly?

That equates to just under 3800 people at UC from outside Canberra. On campus accommodation has around 2000 people. But apparently there is a huge shortage of on campus accommodation for UC. That means nearly half the amount of students who come to UC from outside Canberra are unable to live on campus.

In my experience (an ex UC student), I’ve found rent off campus in share homes to be cheaper than on campus accommodation.

There was really no point to this post, just wanted to break down the numbers a bit more

UC could always learn from past experience, and set up a series of floating tee-pee’s on Lake Ginninderra.

They are expecting us to have to enrol in statistics… or at least simple arithmetic.

Over that period enrolments have increased by 32.7% whereas FT female participation has only risen by 27.3% so female participation rates appear to be slipping. By the time you factor in the 3-5 year lag between enrolments and participation, the female participation rate appears to be slipping by an even greater rate than this difference in percentages would indicate. However the apples vs oranges (total numbers vs full-time numbers) means that we cannot make any definitive statement regarding female participation trends.

As to the last point (33% of domestic…), apart from the 1% rounding error this provides no information that was not in the previous point.
