Advantages:
- Prestige i guess as it was the first one
- Location may suit you better (depends on where you live)

Not too many advantages over UNSW. Actuarial degrees are generally similar and just involve attaining all the exemptions.

Doesn't really matter which one you go to. If you don't get greater than a credit average you won't be working as an actuary. You'll be lucky to get some shitty job at a small finance firm. You don't get many exemptions with passes.

Also, if you have decent social skills you will thrive as an actuary. Most of them are socially inept intellectuals who sweat and go red when spoken to, and thus get stuck in a dead-end 100k job. Without social skills you don't progress up the corporate ladder. Doesn't matter how good your work is.
