ok enough
no one should rely on a "bible" solely for their uni choies. u should realise the potential for the GUG to be flawed (esp how many parts in the book e.g. overall satisfaction, were left blank for the less well known universities) and how ratings can change dramatically in the long term. as well, how did the GUG get their data? is it a heterogenous sample of the student population? is it accredited?
IMO both USYD and UNSW are universities that are the envy of international students worldwide, they have fantastic teaching resources, leading academics and reputable alumni. so it really doesn't matter which one you pick, and i say that for all universities in australia. going to uni is a privilege and increasingly a necessity in this modern age.
but to choose a uni because it doesn't have "fobby asians" or "rich snobs" or it has a "better social vibe" or "not a shit location" or "ugly gargoyle buildings" or "u never see whites" should play very little or no influence on your decision
just my 2 cents
