I have an offer from both unis for combined law. I'll be doing Law/Accounting in whichever one I choose.

UNSW pros:
More Hong Kong kids/more networking opportunities?
Easier to get higher grades (from what I've heard)?

USyd pros:
Less HK kids so less competition?
Chinese Lawyers Society seems like a pretty good HK-focussed organization that UNSW doesn't have.

Primary goal is to get into a city law firm in Hong Kong. Secondary goal is to get into a city law firm in Australia (but from what I've heard, competition is fiercer in Australia for law clerkships).

I'll also try for the Big 4 in HK and Australia, as well as other firms in both countries.

Thoughts?

for commerce, they're about the same. unsw might have the edge. also, unsw definitely marks easier for commerce.

usyd has better social life, better transport very different campus (might be better depending on preference) and APPEARS to have very good internship/job placement.

for law, i'd probably pick usyd.
