Only true for areas like Law and maybe IB or MBB. But those are just perceptions, realistically, uni prestige does not strongly correlate to the quality of degree programs. The quality of the cohort does differ dramatically though.

I dont know all the answers, but I will try to address some: University prestige/Ivy League equivalent: In Australia, uni prestige and branding is nowhere near as valuable as it is in the US. On average, a degree from USyd has little more value than a degree from UWS, unlike the US where there...

To think, Liberal went hard against Labour for doing the same thing. I know how our political system works, but Id much rather vote him out rather than have some fat cat Liberal power brokers do it.

Pretty much sums up how I felt about it. Homework should only be done if you feel it is useful and effective - if it isn't, don't bother. A lot of people are scared about not doing homework because of teachers/parents expectations. Overall, the HSC is driven by you and you really need to...

Great thread smooth operator - Ive been a bit neglectful with Modern lately, so hopefully if there are some questions on Speer or Conflict in Europe I can pitch in.

Living on College is halfway out of home for most people I reckon - you get all the perks of independence without a lot of the responsibility.

It wont be easy by any stretch, but it is do able. From what I gather, you are a mature age student and that maturity will definitely help you out in this situation. Besides, as Ive said before a few times, you should be more productive with more on your plate.

It's actually a bit of both in my view. Obviously, different unis have different social scenes - Notre Dame is far more sedate and less socially active than say USyd. That being said, if you arent really interested then it doesnt really matter where you go. If you want a more mature version...

Re: What's better for an investment banker? comm/eco, comm/sci or comm/adv sci (s... This pretty much - for the majority of careers, people fuss way too much over the specific degree choice. Both will provide you with enough from a qualifications standpoint.

What do you want to do?

There arent many graduate opportunities in economics per se. An Economics degree is useful and there are a variety of careers available, but the pathway into them is usually via entry level roles. It differs from accounting/finance which are largely driven by cadetships/internships/grad programs.

When it comes to academics, I dont believe "intelligence" constitutes talent. Some people are highly intelligent yet they struggle at school because their "intelligence" isnt suited towards academics. To me, "talent" when it comes to school is your ability to learn and apply information within...

Big data is definitely the "it" thing these days, so those with stats/maths degrees are in high demand on the market.

The ultimate Friendzone song (and the Shadowdude anthem):

If money is your primary/only aim, then there are way better options then medicine. You could earn that money in Commerce if you climb the food chain - Id argue that is a much easier than going through Medicine.

This pretty much sums up what Ive heard - both Notre Dame and ACU really suit those who arent into the whole "big uni" experience.

Again, to reinterate, Im not saying this view is right or that I agree with it (I certainly do not), I am just trying to account for the bias towards the holocaust.

Controversial opinion, but racism and expectations are probably the reason behind the holocaust receiving so much attention. The Western world has a powerful influence on history and how things are perceived, so we often see the world through that lens. Germany was a civilised and highly...

Unless you plan on going into IB, MBB or Law, then I wouldnt worry about it.

MQ would probably have more options in terms of electives. Other than that, pick the one you feel most comfortable with.
