Besides ranking and what you have heard of the course, what do think are the pros and cons for both? Some things that you might consider:
- commute time (if one is significantly longer than the other, you might find the closer one to be more convenient)
- social atmosphere (some people care a lot about how comfortable they feel at these unis and if they’ll be able to have a good social life there)
- course structure (Melbourne has the Melbourne model and
this course plan. RMIT has
this course plan and a dedicated unit on portfolios.) From a quick glance, they seem to have similar subjects, so either way it looks like you’re in good hands.
- opportunity for internships/ work experience (one course may include internships or work experience within a course, which might help with employability afterwards. From first glance, neither course has a required placement or internship, but I may be proven wrong with a bit more research.)
