Usyd obviously

Are there any reasons in particular Usyd is better

great social life (don’t listen to ppl who say otherwise, unsw is all weird engo nerds), mostly good teaching, great atmosphere, great international reputation, cool looking quad, no trimesters, much more flexible single degrees, more major options (eg comp sci as a science major), much more able to take double majors (quicker than double degrees) and I could go on

the only thing I’d really prefer unsw for is plain engineering and I feel like even that depends on the type of engineering, for some types usyd isn’t actually too bad if not better

Because our new head is a shitcunt. It's even worse for 2025 cohort, they're having their formal in Term 4 of Year 11 (now) so they won't have a 'Year 12' formal and they're basically getting rid of graduation dinner as well (changing it to a 'midwinter dinner' in June). All of this in private school.

I’m sold @carrotsss , usyd it is! Only if we can be friends.

I heard at o-week that you get inducted into houses exactly like Harry Potter, is that true?

 

[sharknado]

at this point I have no idea if I want to go to unsw, usyd or uts

Definitely not UTS if you want prestige. USYD and UNSW are equal in terms of prestige

lmao same, feel like i wanna go uts but my parents want unsw or usyd

USyd/NSW more prestigious. Nobody knows about UTS outside of Sydney. USyd and UNSW are internationally renowned.

 

[person3024]

USyd/NSW more prestigious

and that matters why lol, at the end of the day it depends on what you wanna do

 

[sharknado]

I get that, but most important thing is that you're happy, plus they're all good unis

Your CV/resume. Who knows where you’ll end up in 15 years time depending on factors within and not within your control. You might be living in LA or Auckland or Tokyo and a potential employer there might (highly likely) recognise and respect a UNSW/USyd qualification but is likely to have no idea on what a UTS is.

generally employers don't care what uni you went to, just your qualifications and abilities. particularly when we're talking about 3 good unis

They definitely do, especially for jobs in areas such as law or anything business related. Go8 is a much better option if this is what you’re after, prestige matters.

If an employer actually cares that much about what uni you went to 15 years ago, then they’re probably pretty terrible at picking the right candidate. That is like ancient history by then. Once you’re in the workplace for several years, only one thing really matters when you apply for jobs - experience.

Uni prestige might matter in a small handful of places, but even then only for maybe the first couple of years.
