[BackCountrySnow]

[19ashlea19]

Im pretty sure no cause if they did n there in canberra then i think i would of wanted 2 go there instead of ACU

 

[19ashlea19]

i just googled it and they offer a dual degree program of bachelor of arts/ bachelor of social work in conjunction with ACU, canberra campus

 

[BackCountrySnow]

Does ACU have accomadation.
If you do that combined degree you will be garanteed a place in an ANU college.

I know what you mean - but you have to remember that uni is nothing like high school.. first your not all going to end up at the same campus or even uni and if you do magically end up at the same campus as the stupid girls at your school.. are you sure they all want to do social work? id say its highly likely they wont all be doing social work and therefore you'll be in different areas of the campus at different times on different days..


sooooooooo dont base you preferences on stupid girls at your school its not going to be a factor worth worrying about.

I'm in the same position as you. I love my friends, we've been a group since year 7. But I want a change, and I want to meet new people and get out of Sydney and everything I'm used to.

That's why I'm considering going to ANU.

theres 8 different nsw uni's on the first page that have that degree.

NZ sounds like the place to go if it was me.

In my view the only way to pick a uni is too understand which uni offers what course, and to what extent it will help in obtaining your future career. Also consider location, travel time, cost, and recognition of diploma ....

hope my 2 cents helped anyone

That's the very same reason I don't want to go to UOW (ok, so the prestige of USYD and UNSW may have a little bit to do with it...)

lol@ prestige...UNSW is soooooo overated. I was very disappointed the first few weeks I was there.
