I would have thought that, so long as you go to a G8/major university, employment opportunities don't really vary (within disciplines that is)...especially with relatively industry-ready degrees like architecture and economics. I've been told time and time again that interviews are the *key* to...

personally? - I just finished intro micro, generating the wealth of nations...

I want to study journalism at a Victorian university. RMIT seems to have the best reputation. Any insights? I've considered Melb Uni, but the BComm course is being discontinued after 2009 and so many subjects have already been discontinued. Are there any other unis with a reasonable...
