i really dont like the GO8 unis
have heard some pretty shady stuff about USyd especially

lmao what things have u heard

ik the media esp tiktok likes to perpetuate usyd slander, but it's literally the best uni

Yh, but it's definitely easier and less stressful than the GAMSAT, which is much harder and one you actually need background information for (actual 'study' vs UCAT which is just prep) ... if you are successful through the undergrad pathway, it would also be 1-2 years quicker than doing a 3-4 year degree than doing a 4 year MD postgrad

true true
I will consider it in my first year now.

 

[zizi2003_]

just curious is the psych degree with honours, cause say you dont get into med and you want to be a clinical psychologist you need a 4 year undergrad psych degree to apply for masters of clinical psychology

yeppp, it's psych honours
i'm planning on having psych as the back-up

from what ive heard USYD is a really progressive uni and heavily political which is why i am hesitant on going there

 

[iwanttodogoodinschool]

okay but USYD looks like Hogwarts, so does the rest even matter?

LOL the politics is actually insane at usyd all you have to do is avoid the crazy ppl who run for SRC they're not normal

i feel like Go8 only matters for those super competitive fields like law or maybe a field like medicine cause they might be able to give clinical rotations at better hospitals

unfortunately assault is prevalent across all uni's, first years have to do this free "consent matters" unit my UTS friends had to do it as well

alsooo yeah the demographic at usyd is primarily white ppl but I think this gets exaggerated a little, there's still a lot of diversity and everyone's actually really nice. I'm sure there's like a few random dickheads here n there but for the most part I've had a good experience coming from western syd and being non white, everyone's so lovely

I agree, I'm only trying to go to UNSW as I'm part of the gateway program, have friends that go there/plan to go there and that the travel is more convenient whereas it's over an hour drive or catch 3 trains for MQ (only 2 unis that offer my course too)

 

[jimmysmith560]

which course

I aim to study an MBA there. Of course, that won't be until a few years after I've completed my Bachelor's degree.

how far away is unsw for u?

 

[Velocifire]

how far away is unsw for u?

30 minutes

but if I were to catch public transport (apparently parking is crazy bad there), then at least don't have to change trains

 

[vishnay]

mq is 35 mins by bus for me and unsw is 1hr 30 mins with bus, train and lightrail
