1. The bar at bankstown is reopening thursday next week. It used to be open but was shut down last year. Since then bankstown has developed a bit of a latte culture.
2. UWS does not suck, only losers who don't go there say that. In fact most of my tutors/lecturers have worked at other unis like UTS and Usyd and one of them even wrote the textbook that the 'more prestigious' unis use for one subject.
3. Heaps of courses were cut thanks to John Howard, he seems to have a personal gripe against western sydney, uws funding has stalled while other unis have seen funding increases.
4. Try looking at marketing/business courses held at Macarthur, it is on the East Hills Line and is a 2 minute walk from macarthur station (unlike bankstown campus where you need to catch a train and a bus). And it will only add about 15mins to your train trip or drive up the M5.
5. Bankstown's focus is on the arts and education(teaching) courses just like hawkesbury focuses on agriculture and environment, parramatta on business or penrith on everything else.
1 - WOot parra has a bar... not that i really use it lol
2 - yeah to add to that - not only have most taught elsewhere a lot went to unsw, usyd, anu, uts etc etc and CHOSE to teach at uws coz they prefer to so people should really stop going on about how dodgy teachers are coz they aren't - they're all qualified, a lot have industry experience, many still practice/operate in the copororate world and/or do R&D so they're well up to date etc etc etc. I think the teachers at uws give you an advantage since they've been through their uni/taught at other unis so you get kind of the the best of everything with some lecturers
3 - John Howard hates us coz we're an ALP uni lol - i mean "Whitlam research centre" , "Whitlam library" lol need i say more
plus we don't have full fee paying students so being the capitalist upper class lovin man he is i don't see him loving that
4 - In case you don't know coz a guy i was talking to yday didn't, Macarthur = Campbelltown campus
5 - aww you left out Blacktown lol... everyone always 4gets them... parra and blacktown were kinda similar in the courses they offered.. campbelltown is a bit too... but they cut law at blacktown so it's a lot of business stuff and that kinda thing now.. law runs now only at 2 campuses - parra n campbelltown. BE sure to check with recent sources about what campus stuff is at coz if you're going by last year's UAC guide, it still has, for example, Law at Blacktown but it didn't run and non longer does
