NO OFFENCE but....... (2 Viewers)

I've been to the open day at penrith and yesterday i went to do the stat test at Banskstown. So far my impression of the Western Sydney campuses is not too good. I think they are just holes. The actual campuses look shit and the location is shit as well. Which is there best campuse? I'm thinking of checking out the Paramatta campuse because the locations good because i heard its near the shopping centres. Can anyone provide me with links to pictures of the campuse plz cause i couldnt find any on the websites.

The campuses arent that bad. So ok they arent 5 star swanky places, but u get the same piece of paper at the end of it. Its not like the person employing u after uni is gonna look at what campus u went to and say " this person went to c'town so we arent gonna give her a job, but this person went to parra so she is obviously better".

Personally i think it shouldnt matter where u go except for convienience. Just try to get into where is best for u. Who cares what everyone else thinks of it. Trust me ive been there. Most of my friends went to gong, but i didnt want to drive down there everyday so i went to c'town. They all rub it in my face, but i dont really care lol.
just thought id put my 10 cents in, cos no one had replied to u.

Parra is the worst, imo. It has a very eerie feeling to it - it's spooky in daylight, imagine what night would be like.

Maybe it's just me, but going to Uni in an 1800's orphanage that feels just like that, isn't my cup of tea..

But then, i did like Bankstown.

As long as they have a few sporting facilities, a UniBar and decent people, I'm happy!

Cambelltowns my fav so far. Was goin there but now hopin to go to Penrith. I quite like those campuses. As long as they have me I don't care what they're like. but in reality they all look the same to me Sydney aint that special

lol .. eerie in the day? ..I've been at uni at 3am..thats when its spooky :uhhuh:
but apparently you shouldn't go behind the library at night (this comes from lecturers) .. it was a mental hospital as well..

Parra campus i admit isnt that good, lacks of many features, which can be improved. But one thing Parra has the best, teh food

If you're the type of person that thinks they're too good for my home town (penrith), then I say keep away from my town. I may be planning to go to uni in sydney next year, but there's nothing wrong with penrith. If you didn't mean to be offensive, trust me i'm offended.. It's annoying when uptight rich boys from inner sydney make quick judgements about how much better they are then uws, penrith, western sydney...

Get over yourself, uptight yuppie douche.

 

[golfstick]

if ur gonna have that sorta attitude maybe u should go to USYD-home of the snobs

So it's okay for you to make comments like this but it's not okay for anyone else?

Hypocrite.

(I don't go to Syd by the way)

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I don't know anyone that wants to go to usyd that doesn't have this type of additude actually.

Clap Clap to Usyd marketing department.

I just want the unis to be closer. It took me bout 1.5 hours to get to that penrith one. And i just salso want the campuses to be near entertainment areas such as shopping centres etc. Didnt mean to offend anyone.

i went to campbelltown campus yesterday for my RET and it's really nice... there's ducks in the pond as you drive past and the buildings are very modern. if you don't like it, don't choose it!!! in the end it's about personal preference - so some people will like it, some won't... it's just not fair to judge those whose preferences aren't the same as yours.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I don't think it's right that people can get away with continuously discriminating against me and my community on these forums.
Would they get away with racism? what if they said 'all aboriginals are dumb, cause crime'.... I can imagine what would happen then.

 

[White Rabbit]

mate, i had ducks at in the pond at my high school... LOL. and so does Wollongong Uni, come to think of it

And Parra was a mental hospital too?? I'm never going there again.........

Also, does anyone know if Hawkesbury is having a showcase day like they did last year? I really wanna check out the ag facilities and the accommodation.

Cheers!

 

[pwned]

depends whether the assertions are well founded or not...

so it does... should we take a guess on how well founded most of them are? Personally i'd compare them with the amount of bs that sprouts from you....

melbournian, why is UWS shit, in your opinion, and we'll try to fix it up.
is it because we dont get as much student intake as usyd?
is it because we haven't been around as long as usyd?
is it because our lecture theatres are better than usyds?

also, who is this "everyone" you are talking about? in your group?
most people at uws think uws isnt shit, the only thing that shits me is when i get a stupid lecturer going on about something i am not interested in.

stop bothering us about uws, we've heard too many times to care...

 

[pwned]

everyone knows UWS is shit. deal with it

Inferiority complex mate?
You should just be glad you're getting a fucking education. If you're always like this then it ain't doing you much good, perhaps you should let someone who deserves a decent education take your spot.

Stop dissing UWS. There ain't nothing wrong with it. If you ain't got anything constructive or intelligent to say then fuck off.

 

[eLmo]

everyone knows UWS is shit. deal with it

Can you not fuck off for some reason?

 

[Sarah168]

Maybe ur standards are too high, if ur gonna have that sorta attitude maybe u should go to USYD-home of the snobs

Nat, you always defend your uni when someone attacks it but by calling usyd the home of snobs...it's a little hypocritical. My two cents worth.
