I’ve always had a passion for law and understanding the world around me, and the University of Sydney Law School provides ample opportunity for students to gain vast amounts of knowledge, starting from day one. At the start of the program, the university languidly introduces students to the topics they will be studying in an effort to allow students to figure out how they study best and how they should set up their schedules. But it seems that the intensity of the program is turned up a notch bit by bit every day. While I do have to keep up with all my readings every day, the seminar manager (a tutor who provides extra help and commentary outside of lectures) makes sure that everyone is on track to being the best that they can be.
