G'day! Yep, I'm considering ANU for Commerce. Two reasons (first is stronger than second)
1. Prerequisites. Here in Vic, if you want to do Commerce, need Methods, haven't done it, not wanting to do a bridging course or transfers between degrees. ANU has a reasonable ATAR requirement, with 'assumed knowledge'.
2. The AFL State sucks! I'm an ex-NSWelsher (moved to Vic in 2011), so would absolutely love to either go Canberra, or possibly Sydney (another preference, Commerce at Macquarie).
What's the atmosphere like at the ANU Campus?
I can vouch for the fact that ANU Economics assumes knowledge of calculus. Assumed knowledge is DEFINITELY assumed, and they won't slow down for you if you know nothing of the content in question...
