Apparently the UNSW Quad is 3 ft bigger than the USyd Quad.

Just thought I would belittle you guys.

Trust a guy to overemphasise the importance of size...:p

It's what is inside that counts, and usyd has personality...:D

I heard that on my tour as well :D

Where does this "personality" come from timmii? The clash of old sandstone with decrepit 1970s architecture? ;)

i have nothing against TAFE just saying that first....

look at the difference between tafe and universities across NSW

really architecture wise UNSW is just a glorified TAFE college,

USYD on the other hand LOOKS LIKE AN INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING that churns out well rounded graduates rather than souless drones...

Well if we're gonna talk about crappy looking unis, you just cant go past UTS. At least Sydney's few (note the few) crappy buildings dont create a city-wide eyesore.

USyd is beautiful; people have their weddings in the great hall. As for UTS, it's just a large rectangular box with a large sign placed on it....yuk:D

Just look at what they've DONE to you... :p
It's not superficiality, it's school pride ...

We already know that USYD is better than NSW, it's appearance is an extra bonus!

My attitude towards uni is the same as it is towards people. Its about whats inside - i.e the value of teaching, culture etc and aesthetics are a bonus. So if i had a choice between two very good unis, why wouldn't i take the better looking one??? ;)

UNSW won second prize in a beauty contest - collect your $10 and stop whinging. :p :D

The thing i hated with USyd wen I was there was that most of the buildings were old and everything was too far from each other, thats why I chose UNSW over USyd

EDIT: oh, and the Nobel Prize winner for Economics appearing at our uni, NOT USyd!
