Commerce: Monash vs UoM

[xox.happy1.xox]

Monash; I want to transfer there to do law after I do 1 year at VU . (*Waits for Prav to yell at me... Again... :S*)

Despite the nature of the course itself, the impression is what counts, and I *think* it is safe to say that most employers will have a better impression of UoM. Bring the actual commerce students in here to get a better opinion though; I don't know much about commerce =T

Oh, I'd like to know this as well. Not in the same position as you, obviously, but I've just been reading Monash guides for the past couple of months, so I have no idea about Melbourne (aside from the fact that you can catch the number 19 tram to get there, lol).

If I were you, though, I'd take the monies.

You can get unbiased opinions.
I would say that as a general rule, science is better at melbourne. When you get down to specific areas of study, then you open up a whole lot of new avenues for debate and instances where both unis have their strong points (ie some of my units simply aren't offered at UoM in the first place).
I am fairly sure this same general rule applies for commerce (UoM *should* be better overall)

I know nothing about commerce, except for that acutarial studies thing is well-established at UoM and is just starting up at monash so if you wanted to do that go to UoM. The rest of it I dont know.

*tries to make a relevant post*
Reasons I think I'd choose UoM because...
1. Location
2. The variety of subjects available
3. The reputation
4. I like the atmosphere there
5. High possiblity of getting a good job after graduating

I guess it really depends on what area of commerce you want to specialise in, the location, and the likelihood of you actually getting a good job after graduating.

Don't get me wrong Monash is a great University, but due to it's location, I probably wouldn't consider attending the University.

Here is a link that maybe says why UoM commerce is better

Coming from none other than...UoM ITSELF!

[champorado]

Don't close it, I need an answer.

I'll try to add something relevant, as well.

Here's my list so far

UoM:
(+) location: it's somewhere i've been to a handful of times for lectures of various kinds and open days, so i already know how to get there. it takes less than an hour and a half by public transport.
(+) it'd make my mum happy.

Monash:
(+) i'm more familiar with its course structure.
(+) offers 한국말, and subsequently a place to go on exchange.

that's about it. ;_;

We need more input from people who are actually doing these courses.

maybe the same (if i do methods via distance ed)... i dont think my double degree has any room to take a maths subjects outside the facukty to meet the pre-req

[Flaming_Arrow]

Melbourne!

[champorado]

Melbourne!

Can you elaborate?

I don't wanna make a decision based on people's hype.

Why not contact both Universities, ask them why you should attend their University.. see which one is more convincing LOL
