Is this uni worth driving an hour and a half for? I applied for it kind of spontaneously and I'm not even sure whether it has a good rep? Is it just another UWS?

It's better than UWS. If UWS is your only other option then it is worth driving an hour and a half for.zaqwerty said:

It's a quality uni and I drive an hour each way to attend it. It's picked up Uni of the Year a few times recently and has very respectable graduation employment rates.
Plus the rep of a uni doesn't really mean much these days unless it's a specialised degree... if you're doing commerce/arts/education/science, then just find a local uni and make sure you stand out as a student. The only advantage attending a certain university gives you is if you're interviewee went to the same uni and favours you for it.

Well I was planning on doing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in psychology. I also applied for Macquarie (and other unis but that's kind of irrelevant, Macquarie and UoW were my top two preferences). I think I'll get into both Macquarie and UoW, and it's a similar distance for me to drive to Macquarie as it is to drive to UoW, but the drive to UoW would be nicer.
I know that Macquarie has a good reputation, every time I tell people I might be going there they say I should definately go there, but I don't know whether it'll be worth going there if I can go to UoW and get a similar education? (I prefer the travel to UoW over the travel to Macquarie)
P.S. -- sorry if that was slightly confusing.

Everything's perfect!
An arts degree is an arts degree is an arts degree. The Psych department at UoW is very good, I've got a couple of friends in the degree. Just go with whichever uni appeals to you more travel/campus/etcwise, which would probably be UoW purely on your travel preferences.

UoW undergraduate employment rates are up there with the best.

Thats not really the case now is it. over all the top 2 unis are ANU and melbourne, UoW is way behind. I think you are confused and referring to how UoW was ranked 1st in one area (teaching performance) , however over all it isnt ranked in the top 10 in Aus. http://www.australian-universities.com/rankings/
