Goodluck with the rest though.[/FONT]
umm....people have replied to your threads...20 or 27 replies? With that thread you started about the best business faculty, that's really up to you to find out. You can do your own research on that one. Google it - but i do know that Macquarie uni is rated in the top 5 best business unis in Australia.anaoum said:

PwarYuex i disagree with you completely about mac law being hopeless, although that's not the first time i have heard that. it was definitely one of my concerns, and is sometimes raised in tutes - whether mac focuses on the theoretical at the expense of the practical. in my experience they do quite a good job of covering both.
my experience of macquarie law has been wonderful - many of my tutors have written their own texts, which have a strong substantive focus while posing the occasional theoretical question. Generally assessment requires a sound knowledge of the relevant law as well as its jurisprudential, social and political basis - which can be of great use when contemplating where it will evolve from here - a good thing to consider in the age of the statute.
i started in 2003, so i know they've added 'law, lawyers and society' now which may make first year quite theoretical (our only solid 'theory' subject was jurisprudence). later subjects, however, have a strong substantive focus - it would certainly seem no less so than my brother's uni (sydney) from what i've seen of his materials and assignments.
anyway, back to my massive companies and securities law text. crapload of substantive material in that (shudders)

I'm sorta in the same position as you, cept that I'm interested intanjin said:
business/law at uts
and
commerce-accounting/law OR commerce/law at macq.
I researched and on the world scale, mac ranks higher than uts, even though uts has a uai 4 points higher than mac law. UTS in fact, is ranked lower than macq.. by a few places.

So my preferences are:
1) USYD
2) UNSW
3) MAC
4) UTS

Most of the rankings u have heard are useless when it comes to educational experience.
U havent experienced what its like sitting down for a tutorial in W5A block in summer with 25 other students trying to understand what the fobby accg tutor just said.
Have u ever contemplated that 3 weeks into uni, u start to skip STAT170 tutorials? or trying to stay awake in the lectures?
Prestige means close to nothing if u get Pass average. Can u take advantage of prestige from research and innovation if ur sitting their learning a 100 year old economic theory??
Thats going to happen in the first two years....
It can get incredibly boring at Macq, Macq centre only diverts your attention so much, if u get a D average at UTS and can only pontetially get C average at Macq, goto UTS, especially if u live in Ingleburn.
I live on the east hills macarthur line and i can tell u that a train to the city and social scene around UTS is probably better than Macq.
No need to take another 45 min trip one way for some extra prestige.
Macq law aint hopeless..... a high flyer like scarecrow_of_oz has been around in the Macq LLB to know what i mean.
LLB isnt for everyone, imagine David Spencer was the lecturer for your first law unit....instead of Meyerson on juris.

I am closer to macq than uts so I think I'd rather travel to macq - and I'd be able to drive there then (If i actually manage to get my Ps).
So which one is better then? UTS or MACQ in terms of social scene? I heard that UTS is just a building stuck in the middle of the city so most people just go to the city to have lunch etc and don't spend much time at uni?! How about macq?
In terms of teaching, which one is better? I know that many people skip lectures at Macq and only attend because attendence is taken and counts towards the course marks. But I guess that would be the same for other unis too...
are most of the macq tutors fobby? =S Are the lecturers good?
