Hey everyone! It’s been a hot minute since my last post, more than a month or so ago. With the rush of semester two, exams, and immediately working full time as an intern, there has been little time for me to properly sit down and write blog posts as much as I had wanted to….Continue Reading The Civil Cohort: a camaraderie | #5
With the end of the academic year coming to a close, I thought it would be really valuable to hear from other Part 2 Civil students and get their perspectives of Civil this year. So I’ve reached out to a few second year students with different experiences with how they got into Civil to ask…Continue Reading How to ̶s̶u̶r̶v̶i̶v̶e̶ thrive in Part 2 Civil – from this year’s Part 2 Civil students | #4
So, if you haven’t heard enough about it already, Civil has five papers. But when wanting to learn more about the courses, often times reading the course descriptions can make very little sense given the jargon (I gave up trying to decipher what the topics were and just thought to let fate surprise me). Nor…Continue Reading Literally no one: // Every Civil Engineering student: cIViL hAS fIVE paPERs | #3
“Let’s just say the exam mean was 33.7/100 and the high was 82.” Prior to the start of second year – I, like any other prospective Part 2 Civil student – braced myself for a five-paper semester (if this is the first post you’re reading from me, I actually am taking six papers in my…Continue Reading Pre-semester jitters 😬 and why Civil | #2

I’m Cailey, and as of this time in writing I am a second year Civil Engineering student doing a conjoint degree with Arts (I major in Japanese – for all those who are curious!) Hopefully through my future posts you are able to get…Continue Reading Q&A TAG – who runs the 2019 Civil blog ❓🤔 | #1
So, we are done! As of this blog, we are a few weeks removed from exams, and I hope you all are enjoying a well-deserved break. It’s a huge accomplishment to finish your first year of uni, so savour the moment and enjoy the freedom! Being the end of the year, this will…Continue Reading Well… That Just Happened
Hey again! Hopefully you guys are doing well and not feeling too burned out with the semester starting to wrap up. Luckily you would have experienced a university exam schedule (well most of you) by now, although I have heard this semester’s timetable is unusually rough! Just make sure to keep on the grind and…Continue Reading Structures Day and Others, a Late-Sem Ramble
Rightio, the mid-semester break is already past us huh. It’s pretty ludicrous how fast the semester is going by. With only a mere couple months before the summer break, we are on the home straight. Hopefully the remaining pile of tests and assignments will go by somewhat quickly and painlessly! Seeing as my first…Continue Reading How about a Proper Blog Post!
Hi again everyone! How is it week 4 of sem 2 already? Kind of crazy how each week seems to fly by quicker than the last. I’ll definitely take it though if it means we are getting closer to a summer break. This new semester has already been quite the experience, with new classes and…Continue Reading Semester 1 Summary
Hey everyone! My name is Anton, and I am a Part II Civil and Environmental Engineering student. Hopefully I’ll be able to give a fairly good representation of the whirlwind that is Part II Civil and perhaps even provide some cheeky tips on how to survive the year. Unlike other specialisations, Civil has the vaunted…Continue Reading The Whirlwind
