Ethan’s University Experience – Commerce/Science

Sep 14, 2014

We interview Coach, Ethan Sommers, about his experience so far at USYD studying Commerce/Science.

1) What course/Uni?

Bachelor of Commerce/Science at the University of Sydney

2) What you like about your course so far?

I’ve enjoyed the way my subjects have gone into greater depth behind the topics that they teach. In particular, my mathematics subjects have tried to prove the things that they teach and give the reasoning behind concepts alongside attempting to give real life applications of the material. I’ve also liked the number of different subjects available in the course, which range from studying economics to studying mathematical modelling.

3) What you like about your Uni?

I like Sydney University because it is a relaxed learning environment with lots of interesting people.Β  Meeting other people in my course who have similar interests to me has been a highlight of my first semester and a bit at uni. I’ve also enjoyed joining clubs and societies such as the ski club as well as the History and French society and participating in these groups events.
