Hello all

I am sure that most people have gone to the oepn days fo the uni on the 3rd this week, and I was wondering which uni people found the best in regards to service, help and gernal overall format of the day. Personally I found the mac and syd to be really bad in that unlike UTS they firslty didnt arrange it so that they were able to get to everyone when they asked about each different courses unlike UTS where the lines were cut short due to having a large number of stuff available and also FREE FOOD IN UTS:D . Personally I found syd the worse and I suppose those people rely more on their reputataion than anything. Whats peoples views.

I thought unsw was the best, but thats probably cause most of my preferances are there so I checked it out in more detail than sydney. I found that unsw had good ppl to talk to about courses and everything, I didnt really get to talk to ppl at sydney so I cant really comment on them. nsw was good because everything was pretty close together while sydney was all spread out everywhere so I had to do more trekking than I wanted to (Im so lazy :rolleyes: ) unsw had cool freebies too:D so as you can guess, my vote goes to unsw.

i only went to two, Sydney and UTS and i can say that the sydney one was alot better!!! Info was more exetnsive, friendlier ppl and the whole vibe of the uni was really motivating...to me uts seemed a little darka and dreary but the information on courses was throrough!!!

yeah, it is ... and i think the problem is no-one wants to go there because no-one else is going ... unlike unsw when its like an asian magnet ...

actually most asians end up doing commerce ... i reckon by the time the class of 2002 get out of uni ... just about everyone will have a commerce degree (which makes its unimpressive to the prospective employer) ...

It depends what you major in under commerce though. I mean there are like 8 different majors. And how you go in your course ultimately differentiates you from other commerce students.

but most employers arent all that fussed about what major you did ... for many just seeing a commerce degree (as well as the academic achievements in the associated units) is about all they look for in the academic side of your uni life and resume ...
