Felix Eldridge has too much credit to his name. He's a fuckwit who I hope never EVER achieves a real public office, for the sake of our country.
If he DOES become Prime Minister, I'm moving to Tasmania, and seceding from Australia.

The Go8 universities tend to be more expensive. UNSW is just over $500 a year.. ($251.25 or something a semester).Cab31 said:

Group of Eight Universities.. http://www.go8.edu.au/
The University of Adelaide, The Australian National University, The University of Melbourne, Monash University, The University of New South Wales, The University of Queensland, The University of Sydney and The University of Western Australia.
Basically these universities are at the top in terms of research (70% of all research conducted in Australian universities I believe), among other things.
The Group of Eight:
Have much better than average staff student ratios;
Provide a wide range of scholarships for international students;
Receive an above-average share of national teaching awards;
Have above average rates of student retention and progression;
Spend above average amounts on libraries, student services and academic support services;
Enrol over 50% of postgraduate research students and approximately 30% of all Australian and international students;
Count among their alumni over 80 per cent of Australia's Rhodes scholars.
A small extract from the student information page.

Yeah, not forgetting one of the major criteria for the Go8 universities is research, not teaching quality

yea i think VSU is good, i think the uni should contribute some money to worthy clubs perhaps to compensate for VSU - but its cool with me, u can join the Union and get benifits if u want to- VSU stops unions charging $300 + dollars per year - which will probably be wasted on stuff most people may not even use
