I had always been wanting to go to usyd comp sci advanced up till about a week before the deadline for preferences.
After I had been to the co-op interviews and compared the life and facilities at usyd and unsw (I had spent a week at usyd for a programming summer school, most of the time spent in Madsen) I changed my mind and picked unsw comp sci.
Its worth a look if you haven't already.

im missing by 0.10 UAI to go to usyd by last year's cut-off, but im trying 
.
.Err.. I dont know anything about UTS software engo, i do soft eng at usyd and erm.. its ok, first year has not been as hard software as id like, (but then USYD takes in more private school boys who have no prior computer experience and need to start from basics) but by the end of first year is comparable in terms of stuff learn to unsw. Software engo at USYD, is currently viewed as a specialist form of Electrical Engineering, i like this for my own reasons but i can see why some people wouldnt, aparently the course will change in 2005 but i dont know what the changes will be. If you have any questions feel free to post and ill try to answer em.

sorry about the serial posting... but yeah... the only good thing about uts is its work experience thingy... any other?Originally posted by jase-REX
Do it at UTS!
hmm maybe i should write a pro/con list?
ahahah anyone willing to do one for me? LOL
Work experience at USYD is 3 months, has to be done in any engineering enviroment(im pretty sure for software that also includes it). Its paid apparently , but not very much, and erm.. you are supposed to do it in the holidays between year 3 and year 4.

Oh heres all the core subjects for a software engo degree at USYD

Its an ok degree, i wasnt too impressed by the first year subjects (physics ) and the assignments you get in first year are all group based and boring.. but second year looks pretty good and you do learn quite a lot of things.

ergosum, what made you choose usyd over other unis?

yeah i think its changing for 2004 (for my year) coz i spoke to someone and they said that s/w engineering at usyd is more towards the I.T industry now... and then they started talking gibberish
