Dunno about commerce, but Im doing software eng at Usyd and its pretty good. It used to be true that the facilities were a bit outdated, but they just built a brand new school of IT building which opens next semester and they putting school of IT under Elec Eng now. So EE and CS will be merged like at UNSW. Otherwise most lecturers are pretty good especially IT lecturers(EE lecturers can be dodgy, some are crap some are amazing!).
So as a degree I can definately recommend it, ive never been to UNSW so I cant really compare it.

Is it true that the undergraduate IT building will still be at Madsen?
Ie. We wont get to use new facilities :|

I'm reasonably sure there will be at least some classes in the new IT building.

Hmm Judy Kay told me that the school of IT was going to take control over software engo and that is it not EE over IT.

It should be interesting to see how that works seeing as you need cards to access all the rooms in the new building and those labs are where the master of IT students are going to be

you will find that most of the people doing software related studies have been in the industry for 5 years or so. it is very, very competitive.
