No it is a term used by other universities (quite close in proximity) to describe UNSW. In regards to UNSW owning a quantum computer, it really doesn't bother me as owning one would add nothing to my degree. How would a quantum computer enhance journalism? Oh and how is that campus going in...

Not enough students at UNSW speak English :bomb: This is why it is called Tokyo Techie. .

My dad works there :P But it is true, Engineering is the staple of UNSW. People should pick a university not for its overall reputation, but the reputation of the specific schools within it. I could have done communication at UNSW (would have been a lot cheaper), but it has a shit...
