lol, i just realised... why is ANU in other universities??

it may not have very good undergrad programs, but it is still one of the premier universities in australia.

yeah i agree, i guess jsut not enough people post here and its not in sydney.
Its undergrad is fine, law is just as good as sydney and nsw and its the best for science ecpecially if you get 99+ and do phb.

I posted this question in the general chat awhile ago but it didn't get really far...

http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23404&highlight=ANU+regional

the only answer I got was that it is a 'national' uni, but it, like all the other unis, still has an easily determined 'drawing area' (ie ppl from sydney go to usyd, ppl from canberra go to ANU) and doesn't nessarily draw a higher percentage of students from a larger/broader area (which is the definition of regional isn't it?)

and, like I said in that other thread, its damn annoying having to click twice to get in here

ANU is full of people from Sydney, Wollongong and the South Coast of NSW as well as from Melbourne and parts of Victoria. I don't think it's that regional, if anything, it's drawing area is larger than other universities.

my parent's are academics, it is their impression that ANU is too research focused, thus skimps on undergrad programs.

 

[santaslayer]

hmm..... that could be a good thing and a bad thing.........

good on one level...

 

[Sarah168]

hmm yeah, i've heard that ANU is very post grad and research based as well...maybe i should do a course at usyd first THEN go to ANU...

Yes, thats true, ANU is a top university for research.. however, it is a part of Australia's Group of eight, and in being part of it, is one of the highly regarded universities in Australia. Find out more about the GO8 here
