I am a yr 12 student, and Im wondering which uni has the best, or is known to have the best commerce course? I also heard that UNSW is better because the building for the commerce faculty is like right in the middle of the uni, whereas USYD has there faculty on the outside on the other road. Which is the best one to go to??

hahhahaha....a place is better not because of education but because of a 2 minute extra walk :p Love your logic. Also fail to state that unsw is more difficult to get to from drummoyne.

What are you think of majoring in? UNSW/USYD have different strengths

why would u do b commerce for mgmt/mktg. you could do something like commerce (liberal studies) or Eco and Soc Sci (as you could major in IR/HRM but the subjects for that are practically identical to management).
Marketing isn't that good at unsw from what I hear. My tutor is an ex-unsw lecturer and is saying that she finds it better here. A current unsw lecturer/usyd tutor agrees. As of next year, too, we are getting heaps more marketing courses including advertising!!!

Furthermore, the management (or IR/HRM) course in usyd is far far better than possibly anywhere in Australia. We have amazing academics teaching and usyd is very much at the forefront in this field.

UTS- management and marketing is pretty good, chek out the course handbook on the main uts site for details on specific units.
uts specific management courses are great (i.e. if you wish to get into a smaller area of management) but its not known for teaching quality. If management type stuff (such as HR ) is what youre going into for sure after leaving, then yes - i do recommend UTS. UTS marketing, however is not renowned at all for its quality.

unsw has an excellent accounting school.
however, as i have stressed many times, employers won't necessarily give u leverage from going to unsw as opposed to usyd and vice versa.
What kind of person are you? If you're more a social person who wants to get involved in uni life - usyd. If you're more a person who wishes to get an excellent thorough world-renowned accounting education: unsw

as 1time said, accounting is probably better at unsw than at usyd.
however, if youre more interested in finance, usyd is the place to be.
Why do you think that? (not that it's a bad thing)
