Need help with uni preferences

I recently got an early offer at ACU (to do a course in arts/commerce), however I'm not really trusting them as I've heard their majors can be all over the place, so my other course ideas were Health science/business at swinburne or public health promotion/commerce at deakin. I have other options but these are my top 3, So I honestly don't know what to do :(

Arts is quite different to Health Science. What do you want to study? What are your goals after study? If you're not happy about Arts/Commerce at ACU, have you considered applying for the same degree elsewhere?

I want to work in either health promotion or business (or apply both), the careers at my school had said swinburne is the place for health but I'm still not 100% sure

I would scrap Arts at ACU if you don't have an interest in it.

I'm not all that knowledgable about either courses, although I used to know someone who worked at La Trobe, which is supposedly quite good for Health Science. It might be worthwhile having a look at the courses at Deakin and Swinburne, and see which subjects you'll be studying and, which one appeals most to you. This was definitely a deciding factor for me when I was choosing my preferences.

Maybe have a play around on QILT, and see what you think? I'll leave a link here: https://www.qilt.edu.au/

Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge of HealthSci can come along and offer some advice. :)
