What's a good 500m time on the erg for a girl?
I just started rowing on an ergometer and I want to try rowing in uni. I'm 173 cm tall and definitely not a lightweight lol
What should I be striving for before I get to uni?
Also do you guys have any work out plans on the erg that will improve my fitness/strength fairly quickly? Of course there is no quick fix for getting fit, I just want to be in the best shape I can be before uni.

Do 100m sprints. Do weights.
If you were really going for it, I'd say anything under 2:00 av. split is good for a fairly untrained girl, just for an idea a trained girl rower wil pull around 1:45, and less.
Training wise, don't bother too much with short pieces as the winter training has already started = looooong ergs, 18kms etc, so stick to 30 min pieces, 2 x 20min (1min rest), 3 x 20min (1 min rest), 40 mins with a rate change pyramid (every 5 mins), or straight up 60min ergos.

I know a girl who's about 175cm tall who pulled 1:46 for her first 500m completely untrained (not even through previous sports). She's now trialling for GB though.
Get under 2:00 and you're doing pretty well for someone untrained. At your height, that shouldn't be too difficult but if you're heavier then you'll probably be expected to be a bit faster.

Have you had someone show you how to erg? Sooooo many people do it really badly and wrongly, and it's so annoying. Ick.
Anyway, for a girl who isn't a lightweight and is only starting, 2:10 or so would be good. As you get stronger and more used to it, 2:00 is good, and 1:50 would be even better. Generally, I was happy when my girls pulled between a 1:45 and a 1:50 (although many of them were lightweights, but had been training for multiple years).

i can pull around 2.05 to 2.10 depending and get down to 1.56/1.55 over 100m, untrained, but i am 5'3" and almost defo a lightweight...

I'm averaging 33 spm over a 36min program is this OK?
That's kinda high but if you're splits are still good then I would keep doing what you are doing.
At the same time know that a higher stroke rate is going to tire you out faster. I would suggest rowing at a 24 or bellow for 15 min or longer pieces because it builds up your aerobic base!
