ideally WSU because its closest to home and only 5 years
UNSW I probably have a higher chance of getting in and a "better university" so good option
Newcaslte uni good too, 5 years as well and have family/friends up there
also applied to Queensland but don't really want to go

my older brother does Advanced computing at usyd and he says its a great course, this guys just a bum
hahaha ok year 9. Pick advanced computing, doesn’t really affect me. It’s not even the degree that sucks, also the uni is just so horrible. You’ll probably end up in the same job regardless of the uni though so who cares right?

Sure, people have some good things to say about the advanced computing degree, but that’s a small amount of people. That’s why I put posts from many different forums even the USYD one where may be some bias towards advanced computing. The main complaints people have about UNSW computer science is the trimesters and the difficulty of the course. As I said, you’ll end up in the same job and the content is basically the same and you’re not at a disadvantage when it comes to applying for internships. Just know that USYD is only good for social sciences and law, and UNSW is top tier for stem, it’s been like that for years 🤷‍♂️
