as someone who's prolly gonna relocate bc my closest uni doesn't offer my desired degree, it all depends on what you wanna do and the job prospects in that area. eg, maybe business + finance would be cool to do in sydney bc there's more job opportunities there than in a less densely populated or a regional area. but also keep in mind that the cost of living is much higher in sydney than in other places
yea totally agree, I live in Newcastle which still presents itself with lots of opportunities being the 2nd most populated city in NSW. I think it's reasonable with the cost of living crisis right now that it's better to get a job in my local area then move up in the ranks of employment to Sydney if necessary.
Macquarie Software Engineering doens't have calculus. If you are doing software engineering/computer sciecne I'd avoid macquarie
the most sucessful/experienced
that’s sorta up to you to weigh up, personally I’m moving because there aren’t any unis where I live and so I might as well go to Sydney but if u don’t have support from ur parents it is extremely difficult to afford
depends where u live
i would just go to newcastle uni, probably not worth it to relocate to syd since its already decent
Why is uni reputation so important for those degrees??
because job applications in these industries are often ridiculously competitive- as a result employers begin differentiating between candidates based off of their uni as a starting point

Well thats still the same thing. Just coz you get like 95 in maths and shit the rest of your subjects doesnt level you up with someone who does well altogether
Well its not only about 'less motivation'. With a low atar your chances of getting into an engineering field that pays well and that is beneficial for your future is low. But of course, other factors will come into play but generally speaking
Indeed
Let's say that our guy also got a 90 in software. would you say taht he is a bad fit for computer science?
Yeah 'what do I know' I agree wholeheartedly
Yeah. not ragging on you. It's okay to express opinion
not for u
yes, but by lower atar, i was meaning to refer to one that was the bare minimum to enter an engineering degree, compared to a 95+ atar (which im using as for many students in selective schools this seems to be treated as the "minimum", not saying thats a bad thing but yea) for exmaple which is technically unnecessary to gain entry to an engineering degree.
exactly and people keep on flexing that medicine is way harder than engineering. No. It doesn't beat engineering by miles. Electrical engineering and aerospace both are close to the difficulty of medicine.
