Nah, USYD is shit for eng imo, its good for med and law :p (not even law)
ummm what?

1. You're still in HS.
2. I do Engg at USyd and it's good if you like Engg (I don't lol)
3. Law at USyd is pretty much based at the Sydney courts so like, it is in no way shit. It is probably the best Law faculty in Sydney, maybe even Australia.

Also, USYD is lame too
Lamer than UoW though? (no, because I go to USyd and that pulls it up a lot (inb4 UWS becomes best uni in Australia next year))

look, all unis are lame if you're just there for the degree, but socially I like USyd.

other than that most unis have similar course structures and teaching and shit.
Yep, that's pretty much what I'm getting at. It doesn't really matter what you go to for a degree. It's what else you want to get out of the uni.

I'm glad you had time to complete the degree at USyd to be able to know this. lol
Hence why i said "seem". I'm just going off what i have read on BOS, whirlpool and heard from friends and older students.

Your building looks like a fucking mass-jenga building. What sort of architect or engineer would design that?!
It's representative of the time it was built, there are buildings of similiar style that were built around the same time at other universities (i.e. Macquarie) but they aren't as prominent as the tower or in the CBD so nobody cares. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture

Yeah, USyd probably is socially better.
I don't doubt that, but i haven't had any problems with making friends here and there are regular events and societies. The two big societies at UTS are EngSoc and BIG (the IT society).

how did you get rejected for software engg at UNSW? The cutoff is only 91 plus you would've gotten bonus points for maths (lol, wait, wot maths did you do?)
and the cutoff at USyd for BE(software) last year was 91.8... 0.8 above UNSW. :/
I only did 2unit, if i remember correctly (HSC Plus is different this year) there were very few bonus points on offer for 2unit and i didn't get a band 6 in it anyway. Even if the cut offs are higher in main round there were places left in what i was applying to during the late and final rounds and they dropped into the high 80s.

USyd has more of those than UTS. lol

And we're the joke? lol, okay.

not even Go8
Just because one uni has more areas to specialise in than another doesn't instantly mean the other is useless. If that was the case then you'd have to just admit that UNSW > Usyd. All this establishes is that if you want to get in on the latest boom like Petroleum or Mining Engineering or are set on a relatively specific field you are better off going to UNSW or possibly Usyd.
