3..2..1.. fight mofos.

Convince me.

Commerce - UNSW
Law - USYD

I would be in a dilemma with both combined, but I'll go towards USYD for this one.

The general consensus is:
Commerce/Laws --> UNSW
Arts/Laws --> USYD

Why USYD? I do prefer USYD as a place, man this is a hard decision.

You can't go wrong with both law schools. Go with your gut

This. Realistically at the end of the day, you're choosing between the two top law schools in Sydney and the differentiating factor when it comes to employment will be things like marks, extra-curricular, communication ability etc.

I personally went to UNSW over USyd- I felt the environment was much more friendly (just me personally), they have small class sizes (of around 30 for law, compared to 300+ for USyd) and the curriculum is newer. I don't regret my decision at all- I've made heaps of good friends and I really enjoy the course.

I know some others that find USyd fantastic for them. If I'm being 100% honest, USyd is a more established and prestigious law school- it has been around for over 100 years while UNSW is only a little over 40 years old now iirc.

Go to the info days for both of them and see where you feel more comfortable.

Good luck
