What course are you doing now, and what course are you looking to transfer into at Melb/Monash?

i was studying science at vu, but i applied for b of sicence and b of arts at monash, and i got into both, but i think i will take arts, cos caulfield is closer than clayton!! and i have not heard back from melbourne yet :worried:

Arts is quite different from science though. What kind of arts subjects will you enrol in? Were you not enjoying science?

 

[jennavevez]

i was studying, psychology, so thats what i want to study in arts too
i didn't mind it, i just didn't like some of the other subjects i had to do, like chemistry and other electives, that i couldnt really relate to psych, sorta couldn't relate and have motivation i guess. i've always been better at humanties though, i think i just thought a science degree would look a lot better, but i found out the hard way you have to enjoy it too. oops

Science is basically a generalist degree like an arts degree, and you will have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of subjects in both (although that depends on the resources offered by the uni).

As for a science degree looking 'a lot better', it comes down to who or what it looks better for. And the same goes for the arts degree, it will look better for some and not so appropriate for others in a job hunting situation.
