I'm providing vital information to those who are incognizant, unlike you.
Ahh, okay

So providing information like judging a university based on their security ? and the layout of the library ? and also judging a university because there is too much Indian people ( a bit racist dont you think ?)

Wow man, you are providing so much vital information for all of us :/

Yes a university does need to be judged by their security. Not the actual security system, but the people who are assigned as security. That's the problem. And the layout of the library is a small part of it, but still it should be considered. I'm just saying that their a tonnes of Indians in Macquarie, but I like Macquarie better though. If you need more information, I can help you out. Ask the questions.

For commerce and arts you probably wont see an overload of Indians so maybe you might be fine. I know management at UTS is good though! Close call. Up to you really now.

is that a bad thing?? having a lot of indians at uni
Yeah sort off. It's not a deal breaker but something I would consider when selecting a uni. Hope everything works out fine for you.

OP which resources did you analyse to come to those pros&cons conclusions?

And "a lot of indians" is probably the most racist thing you could say as a con. But you're like almost twelve so you won't understand
All first hand experience. I'm not like the typical person who says both of them are amazing. They have an amazing campus and everything is good. Been to both, so it's not like I'm making things up. Some people may not see a lot of indians as a con, and that's fine really. Each to their own, but some people may not have the same view as you. I certainly cannot put lots of indians as a "pro", so where else should I put it under? Yes, I am almost 12 years old. I just graduated from my primary school just as you want it.

i know commerce at MQ is good as well, and it was the first time i heard people saying management at UTS is good @@ i thought the key areas at UTS were business and IT and communication and stuff... so management at UTS is popular in the uni as well? do you have any experiences or examples for that?

Not a commerce fan but the commerce program at MQ is good. Well the UTS management is quite good as well, not something bad at all. You may not hear it's the best, but it's respectable enough. Unfortunately I don't have any hard evidence on me, so you may need to find someone who actually can provide it to you. Sorry.

Con for UTS:

- too many white people
Incorrect. Do you even know UTS? Ask Brent. He can prove you wrong.
