LSAT

Hmm...

I know that before the Melbourne Model, the UoM LLB was seen as slightly more prestigious than the Monash one. I'm actually not sure about arts degrees, though I think if you really want to go into postgraduate research, a very good option would be the PhB at ANU, if you're willing to go interstate. (http://arts.anu.edu.au/programs/ug/phb/index.asp)

And I don't blame you about the campus stuff, Monash is very ugly it's somewhat demoralising to see the lovely communist-era prison that is the Menzies building blocking out all the sunlight first thing every morning...

monash, ugly?
even been to la trobe?

i've been to both and...
monash isn't the most beautiful campus
compared to melbourne which is amazing looking haha.

true, uom easily has the best looking campus
i have been in a few of the lecture theatures at uom tho and they wern't that nice tbh

Ahaha, I have a friend staying at Mannix. It's a really nice place. Plus they have Harry Potter dinners every fortnight (everyone has to wear their ceremonial robes to dinner)

With the LSAT, I'm considering doing a JD so I've researched it a little (although I've never taken it!). The only practise tests worth doing are found for free on the LSAT website. I think there are a lot of US companies out there to scare students into thinking that they need to take a prep course.

Also, I've heard that your LSAT score doesn't have to be *that* high for UoM entry (I'm not really sure what that means though) compared to the required scores of US universities of similar prestige.

They did a review of PhB last year and one of the suggestions that came out of it was that students should have the option of doing PhB/LLB (the most pretentious degree ever!) but it wasn't implemented. Plus, if PhB students were to successfully complete their degree they would probably get into a JD afterwards fairly easily anyway.
