UWS: Flying to hell or heaven???? (2 Viewers)

[MysteryGenius]

neither of those sources are reliable. how do i know you guys aren't making it up?

1. By relevant fields i mean, someone that studies arts/law becomes a lawyer instead of working at kings cross
2. unsw spends their funding improving their campus etc. UWS has to divide their funding across a few campuses. The benefit each campus reaps is less as a result, how is that irrelevant?

3. my father is an academic, i think my sources are more reliable than yours

1. So you're implying someone who gets into law at UWS doesn't deserve to be a lawyer? lol

2. Its irrelevant because you can see that UWS actually has good facilities which reflect substantial funding.

3. Not really, they're virtually the same qualifications, but obviously they have different opinions and we'll leave it at that.

@MysteryGenius I don't have any hidden agenda to advertise UWS, in fact i'm looking forward to going to UNSW so i have no incentive to desperately make things up.

3. I assure you, PhD sci in maths + PhD eng in fluid mechanics > "your friend who knows a lot of lecturers IRL"

1. Well wtf were you trying to say?

2. That's what we're arguing about though. I'm saying UWS has adequete enough facilities not to make it a "bad" uni. If you agree with this, then why are you arguing?

3. He's not a friend. He is an academic who happens to be the father of my friend.

1. why dont you read it again

2. heres something you might understand. lets say Granville Boys receives the same funding as Baulko or whatever. by your logic is granville boys just as good as baulko?

3. but i lol @ your point of being "treated like shit" uni the work environment is not full on at all. Some might say lecturers suck at research, other might say researchers suck at teaching. But generally speaking, academics look for high ranking universities so that they have better research partners/phd students/funding etc.

I reckon a good overal rank for your course should sustain you.
i know for a fact that Many employers in the business world do not look at UNI fgor prestige, because it could be entirely a locational ordeal.

3. where are you sourcing your information on lecturers from? last i checked, people only went to uws to attain more senior positions because they wouldnt attain them elsewhere

I know someone (personally) who has held very high positions at unsw although has taken the position of a/prof there as he now holds a high position at a research organisation, he is also a prof at uws

To get a high ATAR it helps if you can memorize what coachs and teachers have spoon fed you.

There was also an interesting item on the ABC about unethical practices of students doing HSC

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-11-11/students-cheating-to-excel-in-hsc/3661820

 

[gwenwiver]

the current system pretty much lets people that get above 60 ATAR goto uni. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 60%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT ABOUT THE STUDENTS THAT GOT 30 ATAR!!!!! WHAT IF THEY WANT TO TURN THEIR LIFE AROUND AND GOTO UNI?

There are quite a number of alternative pathways.

The individual universities usually have webpages showing the alternatives for getting into them.

Two examples are UWS and Macquarie
