Good to see the 09er's weighing in on the debate...
I think because your parents told you to go to TAFE instead of UWS, this isn't surprising. But I can't imagine too many people in the real world taking passes over distinctions..that is quite a difference in calibre.

From students i know who are there or have been there:
Some say it was/is horrible
Some say they loved it.
Some say they loved the uni but did not like the content they were learning, so they have transferred or applying to transfer.

obviously uws is a dodgy uni look at how low their entry marks are!!!
for example, bachelor of psychology is in the 90's for all other major uni's even at wollongong its 94 atar. at UWS its in the 70's!!! plus the fact that all people living in sydney get an extra 5 points with an extra 5 if they perform well in a related subject!!! thats up to 10 extra points!!! 5 of them for doing shit all!!! I'm sure this indicates it is a bad uni!!! i mean sure i believe that some of the uni's have courses with entrance marks to high but UWS is ridiculously low
plus its UWS... most employers if employing uni students are more inclined to recruit students from a more established or prestigious uni. UWS's low entrance marks aren't boosting its public image

If it wasn't for it, there'd be so many people going to Tafe.
It makes me cringe how you can immediately associate low entry scores with making it a 'dodgy uni', Psychology is apparently one of UWS' strong points.
Some guy I talked to thought that Unis chose cut offs based on how good the uni course is/their facilities, lol ridiculous and not even logical since if they chose them they wouldn't want them to be low.

is cool
Fool.
Cut-offs are determined by demand, not somehow allocated by the perceived quality of the course.
ANU's point cut offs are often quite a bit lower than the urban unis, but it's recognised as one of the best, if not the best, university of the country.
Also, media and communications at Melb is like 99, but for journalism UTS or RMIT is probably much better.
well if ur studying at UWS it aint gonna happen so dont worry

U go to UNI, you get a DEGREE- that terminology does NOT change, no matter what uni u go to..=]
You seem to know your stuff so I was wondering what uni I should go to and why?well if ur studying at UWS it aint gonna happen so dont worry
Its all about the students that make up the uni.
City universities
- High UAI cut offs ( better quality students )
- More International students ( students that pay $XXXXX.00 are more likely to try harder)
- Better quality students give teachers more motivation to try.
UWS
- Low UAI cut offs ( poor quality students )
- Located in Sydney's west ( higher chance of trouble makers )
- Poor student effort results in lack of teacher motivation to give a dam.
Then that is the result of how uni's reputations arise over time. I myself am from the west but it is just simple reality that the city unis are much better. As for UWS the result may be clear but i guess you never know till you try yourself.
