What do you think? This is UNSW vs USYD, give us what you've got.

 

[kaz1]

UNSW pwns in Engineering and Commerce which are the two best degrees so it automatically wins.

 

[William kamel]

you don't get robbed as easily at UNSW

I also heard USYD only gets 6mb of internet. lol

[Cinnamonster]

Doesn't it depend on what you want to study?

 

[postnatal]

eduroam i think is unlimited.

usyd pwns science son

Science is not that useful as Commerce or Engineering in society these days

 

[Cinnamonster]

Is this all about science/commerce/engineering stuff?
What about other degrees?

 

[hscishard]

Speaking of engineering, how many people can get in in a year?

At UNSW

Best combination degree ever;

Engineering/Commerce degree > Every other degree available

This stereotype is exactly why there is major shortage of Science graduates and a major surplus of Commerce graduates. There's a reason why the cost of science degrees have come down thanks to government subsidies and the cost of a commerce degree has risen dramatically (despite having way less contact hours than science).
Science graduates are actually highly desirable. Why? Science graduates (particularly those doing mathematics) have much more technical, analytical and research skills than many commerce graduates. Many investment banks for example look for science graduates because of this (including for example physicists...that's right investment banks do hire physicists).

In the end, it's not about what degree you have whether it be Arts, Science, Commerce or Engineering, it's about the transferrable skill sets you acquire from your degree. That's what many companies (including government firms, investment/retail banks etc) have said to me in careers events and fairs. A science student can still take up the stereotypical role of research, but most diverge into a wide range of fields when it comes to employment. Look up any graduate program ad from a reputable firm and most of the time it will say they look for people from a "diverse/variety of backgrounds".

Oh and as for the UNSW vs. USYD thing, your attempt to discredit USYD, by posting a thread in the USYD forum based on barely any evidence and just age old stereotypes to somehow make yourself feel better that you chose UNSW, is laughable.

+1 m8.

 

[shuttle_bus5]

It seems every second asian has a commerce degree these days.
Need more commerce/engineering or commerce/science grads.
