and that matters why lol, at the end of the day it depends on what you wanna do
Your CV/resume. Who knows where you’ll end up in 15 years time depending on factors within and not within your control. You might be living in LA or Auckland or Tokyo and a potential employer there might (highly likely) recognise and respect a UNSW/USyd qualification but is likely to have no idea on what a UTS is.

generally employers don't care what uni you went to, just your qualifications and abilities. particularly when we're talking about 3 good unis

They definitely do, especially for jobs in areas such as law or anything business related. Go8 is a much better option if this is what you’re after, prestige matters.

If an employer actually cares that much about what uni you went to 15 years ago, then they’re probably pretty terrible at picking the right candidate. That is like ancient history by then. Once you’re in the workplace for several years, only one thing really matters when you apply for jobs - experience.

Uni prestige might matter in a small handful of places, but even then only for maybe the first couple of years.

great social life (don’t listen to ppl who say otherwise, unsw is all weird engo nerds), mostly good teaching, great atmosphere, great international reputation, cool looking quad, no trimesters, much more flexible single degrees, more major options (eg comp sci as a science major), much more able to take double majors (quicker than double degrees) and I could go on

the only thing I’d really prefer unsw for is plain engineering and I feel like even that depends on the type of engineering, for some types usyd isn’t actually too bad if not better
what about all those jarring private school kids that I hear usyd has alot of. like the type to not even talk to you unless you went private school, ur rich or they knew you beforehand.

tbh the fact that usyd has semesters rather then trimesters makes it far better because the amount of people complaining about unsw's system on their reddit page is insane (which i totally get)

Last time I went usyd those private school kids held me at gunpoint no chill. They all carry Glocks and if you say a school that's not in top 50 they end you on the spot. I remember I went like last week and got shot twice. Please avoid USYD guys western sydney is so much better legit Elon Musk is giving 500k to everyone who enrols next year and its so much safer.
