Not sure bout education but for communications CSU is tha bomb! It has a wonderful reputation in the industry for producing informed and talented grads. With our campus radio station (which also broadcasts to towns around bathurst), real adv agency (when i left uni i already had a portfolio of clients) and soon to be student tv station, the experience is in real time.
another thing is that at bathurst you are taught by industry professionals who are constantly working alongside their teaching commitments... i miss it and i thouroughly recommend it!
