I very much disagree. prestigue is about public opinion on a unviersity.Iron woman said:
if i asked which university is a better institution then it goes on cold hard facts.

natsar you missed my point entirely. this isnt about which is better. its about prestigue alone. im not saying USYD is the most pretegious. hell i dont care if it isnt.
I half agree with you, you cant say one is better then the other on face value. that woudl involve to larger study. Because there are too many things to compare. Im talking about pretigue alone. Take america for example, MIT vs Harvard. Harvard is considered more prestigious.
Yes it my be stupid and superficial, but thats what im talking about. Superfically, which uni is the most prestigious. Puting aside the fact that UWS doesnt qualify because its a newer university, therefore hasnt been around long enough to be classed as a prestigue university, would you care to participate in the actual topic instead of casuing trouble?

What a stupid conversation, i'm gunna say UWS is the most prestigious because it's in the western suburbs where all the prestigious people live with their prestigious cars and prestigious hats.

im not saying it counts for much nat. in fact i agree that it doesnt. I did not pick USYD because of its reputation, i picked it beceause the degree im doing gives me the greatest flexibility in job opportunities and training. But why with you does everything have to become a The World against UWS? i had UWS on my prefference lsit. This was simply a question of on the face of it, which uni would you consider the most pregious. Its a dumb superficial question. nothing to get too serious about. lol.natstar said:

Journalist
UTS Journalism is regarded by many in the media industry as the best journalism degree in the country. We have top journalists as our tutors. Not prestigious? It is in my eyes.berghousemaa said:
And that is exactly why this thread is stupid. You can't measure prestige.
Prestigue:
-The level of respect at which one is regarded by others; standing.
-Widely recognized prominence, distinction, or importance: a position of prestige in diplomatic circles.
the fact that even people posting here who dont go to usyd claim its the most prestigious just proves the first point. yeah sure youve got your little uws and uts (the only people voting for them are the ones who go there) and their 'specialty' stuff, brandrained cant stop talking about uts journo so yeah ill give you uts has one course that is leading (or whatever) in aus but on the whole it's easily usyd. i dont go there, im not much of a fan, but i do freely admit it is the most prestigious.

If any1 that says prestige doesn't matter when applying 4 a job is kidding themselves. How many employers would u honestly find that would employ a CSU graduate ahead of a Usyd graduate with the same credentials? Not very likely I would say! And yes personality and experience does help, but at the end of the day, most jobs does not require a person to have a massive personality as long as u aint a total wanker and u get ur job done!
Also when talking prestige, i know alot of foreigners and overseas students that have heard of Usyd and UTS, that however cannot be said about CSU, Western Sydney, UoW, ANU just to name a few!
So in the end, Usyd is incomparable, it doesn't matter what course ur doing, if most people had a choice they would choose Usyd in an instant.

If you get a D average at uws, u'll do better than someone with a C average at usyd...
If you both get a D average, they'll take it on a case-by-case basis.
Employers are after people that'll do their job in the best way for the cheapest ammount of money.

personally i think presitgue would only count if both applicants were exactly the same. say both male, both same age, made the same impression. same grades. only difference is uni. then that would be swinging vote. It would be up to the employer which he or she thinks is the better uni

No... i've been told by EVERY employer which i have personally rung up and talked to, that when it comes down to that situation they will assess the individuals by their individual differences, usually through an interview.
