judging by your avatar, you look like a pretty hardcore techno DJ

UWS is alright, but the west sucks, dont live out here :P

i went to TAFE, didnt like it, u don't learn enough. Do a degree or Diploma though a private institute, more expensive but you get a lot more out of it

UTS
UNSW
USYD

parramatta is a good place to live. cost of housing
what i have a problem with is pretentious wanks who generalise
most tas from sydney have met guys like me, sid, matt, joel etc etc and id be confident to say that we arent your typical singlet/stubbie/thong wearin wife bashers
come on do you really think you are better than the next person?
i dont care who you are but from my experience, the easiest people to get along with are those who arent concerned about their mohawk and how pink their shirt is
just cause it is the university of western sydney, doesnt mean that some people from a more "upper" class dont find their way there

ahem sorry....parra is a good place to live cause its pretty central and the cost of accomidation isnt too bad.

in my opinion it is only easier to pass subjects because the load is lighter than other uni's.
entrance uais are reflections of the demand of the course, or how popular the course is, direct correlation to the prestige. what uws doesnt have compared to the more prestigious unis is just that, prestige but when your learning, nursing or computer science at usyd would have the same content as their equivelant at uws

with this in mind it would be better to attempt to get into these unis because theyd have better networking opportunities than uws. you get more workplace experience and help from the faculties whereas with uws your on your own and you have to take the initiative

what do you plan on studying? from that it would be easier to choose a uni cause unis tend to better than another from one subject to another

I was planning on going to finish by business degree. I applied to UWS, the University of Sydney and Canberra. I should hear back from all of them in about a week.

The main reason UWS is at the top of my list is due to the fact it has the best transfer credit program... But it's possible the others will come back with attractive offers, we'll have to see...

places to go for business would have been macquarie and uts
sydney isnt as renowned for their business as they are for the health sciences

good luck mate
