Deciding preferences between Deakin and Monash

[chrisjb]

Okay guys, here's the dilemma: I want a law degree, as well as an arts (or similar) degree and an ability to study abroad a lot while I study. Should I:

a) Go international Studies/Law at Deakin, as far as I can tell I will be limited to one year of travel abroad (I'm going to email them to work this out, it's a bit vague on their website), or;

b) Do Arts (Global) at Monash and be able to spend 3 semesters abroad, but then have to do law post grad...

Decisions!

Right now I'm leaning towards option b. I've got a 96.35 ATAR, which leaves the door open to both options. Any opinions would be appreciated!

In pretty much *any* degree you can got abroad.

I know even with my science degree i can go abroad for like a semester or two if i wanted to, so i don't think this is really a huge consideration. I realsie these global and international studies programs have special things for overseas though, i don't know much about that so i can't comment much.

Personally, i think the first option is better.

It's always better to get into things like law or medicine in the very first instance when you can.

What if you don't make the required average or do well enough in the lsat ( i think thats what they use) to get into postgrad law? Choosing law right now really is the safer option.
