I can only toss up between these two double degrees but still I don't know which uni. to go to. I listed USYD as the higher preference so which would you choose if you were in my situation. I was flicking through the UAC guide and I was just wondering which uni. to go to.

SYDNEY advantages
-more choices of subjects and possibly flexibility
-much closer to my home, my home is far far away
-Taking 5 years means it won't be "rushy"
-more friends from school will be there

UNSW advantages
-4 years instead of 5
-lower UAI cut-off as of last-year
-get working or get into postgrad. faster than I would if I did it at USYD
-better-looking buildings?

the choice is essentially between taking the extra year or not. to me the attraction of going to usyd initially was the advanced maths program but in the end i went to unsw (because i missed out by 0.05 on adv maths).

i think with com/sci your major choices wont be such an issue unless you really feel the need to do more than two majors. if you do, go to usyd. if you're interested in just two areas save the extra year and go to unsw.
