[Frigid]

ANU has exchange programmes with Oxford and Cambridge

Guess which "best in Australia" university Ziff is going to

if Ziff is going to Oxford or Cambridge, i want his autograph before he leaves. it could be worth billions in the future

i love unsw... thatz the only ranking u need. now full stop

 

[tonberry_kun]

i hate unsw

 

[lawforever]

well, there are some good things abt UNSW but also some bad bits.

i personally don't dislike UNSW but i can't say i like it very much.

UNSW needs to pay attention to its student welfare.

 

[psych_girl]

UNSW gets better

Lawforever: Where did you get this from? So glad that UNSW gets better.....

 

[aditya]

but wats so good about ANU :S i mean what courses are good... im confused... 16th in the world is amazing... wat is so good about it :'(

 

[Zarathustra]

Apparently their economics degree is one, if not the best in Australia - not sure about the rest of the commerce faculty.
I am also very interested as to how their biological sciences course compare with USyd, UNSW and UTS. Their philosophy department is also reputedly the best in Australia.

for one thing, it recieves WAY more funding than any other uni in Australia...

 

[rumour]

Where did you get that list from?


Can you post the website?

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Is anu looked after by the canberra state govt. or is it federal?

 

[DaRanjed]

What do you mean UNSW need to pay more attention to it's students welfare?

 

[Minai]

it's from The Times Higher Education Supplement in the UK

 

[lawforever]

What do you mean UNSW need to pay more attention to it's students welfare?

well might want 2 take a look at unsw's gym and computer room. UNSW would never be top of the world or AUS, if the uni keeps focussin on making as much money as possible, instead of improving the education quality etc.

Plz compare all those charges on students (print, photocopy, sports facility) of UNSW with other uni. And you would knoe why we ranked behind U MELB and Monash.

Harvard Uni is so overrated. A friend who lives in the US goes there and said it ain't all that.

There will be no riots.. not in a thread that is almost 2 years old.

Uni is best depending where you live and what you want to do within uni.

Uni is best depending what kind of study options you want within the uni.

The first thing you should know is what do you want to do in uni say in 2 years time. Then think about the uni.

So what do you want to do after school years?

whoa some thread necromancy in here

Also uni really depends on the kind of person you are. Are you a psychopath? As a fellow psychopath, I have found UNSW to be masochistically satisfying. Pardon myself as I attempt, however unsuccessfully, to display an elegant demonstration of my sesquipedalian magniloquence.

that being said, UNSW = 16th on the world in terms of engineering. w00t

It's all about the name & the prestige.
