what should I do? hecs 5 mins. away or full fee 1.5 hrs away? (1 Viewer)

[dieselboi]

Hey I am looking for some good intelligent advice.

I live in Penrith and I have been offered places in:

1. B Design (Vis Comm.) at uws 5 mins away HECS
2. B Fine Arts @ cofa UNSW 1.5 hrs away FEE

What should I do?? I need some genuine answers.

I know unsw has prestige but uws is cheap and prolly has more job opportunities than fine arts.

Well both courses are different, so you'd have to decide which you'd rather take as a career.

Though a 1.5 hour ride to University everyday can become a tad tedious.

 

[aspect]

you will enjoy uni much more if you dont need to waste 3 hrs a day on transport, but that should be secondary to the choice of course

i would think that u should do the course that u most prefer as both courses lead to different places. another thing which u obviously have to consider is the cost of full fee of course

 

[iambored]

imagine being in both situations. could you imagine travelling 1.5 hrs every day there and back? could you imagine the jobs you would end up having in the end?

 

[dieselboi]

yeah it's a hassel to travel back and forth, i mean that would be like three hours a day on train and bus....

Not to mention how expensive the full fee course is. $18780.00

Also I think that B Design in vis. comm. would have better jobs with bigger cash!

agree??

Yeah, I'd say go to UWS - HECS, 5 minutes away from home.. You have it set

i would personally choose the hecs option, and then if i really hated it- transfer to UNSW under hecs (not full fee).

 

[dieselboi]

yeah good idea freaking_out.

Who knows I might actually enjoy this course and may not even want to transfer.. The plan is to eventually transfer though.

Thanks guys, I have enrolement tomorrow.

good luck......
