Well just going for what you said, i'd say that International Business at maq is the way to go. As you say you'd rather be at Maq over UWS, however more importantly, you are more into international business (something you wont get at UWS).

Doing law is all and good, but if its only something that will be on the side, your first priority should be to what you actuallly want to do. You could always do law later. i.e dont give up what you want, merely to do law for the sake of it.

You're a big boy now it's up to you.
Do you want perceived reputation and a specific major at mac or do you want a perhaps not specific major and a minor hobby at UWS.

How badly do you want law? and why?

If I were you I'd take the UWS bus/law course. But that's just me - and that's just because I don't see much benefit in doing an international business course over a normal one. Compare the course structures of both business degrees and see what appeals to you more. If you want a little more freedom in choosing electives, a generalist degree is nearly always a better way to go.

After reading this, I couldn't help but wonder exactly why you asked this question?

Edit: Oh, and don't change your signature, I like it.

Oh no.

We all know UWS is the greatest University ever created.
politik, its getting old. If you feel such a distaste for it, then so be it, but keep it in your pants and save everyone the crap.

you can transfer to a double degree in MQ...
Yeah, but not law.

But seriously, why do you want to do law?

Most people who 1. are good at law units and 2. want to do it, have worked their butts off during the HSC to get into it.

Not only that, but even UWS law will own you.

Why study an additional 2 years to do something your not really interested in, plus whatever additional study after that for law?
Because it sounds cool and most people who leave High School have no idea about these things or what 2 years of extra study actually means other than words on a piece of paper :)
