ACU or Monash? Prerequisite dilemma.

[Ra Ra Rasputin]

I have always wanted to do a Bachelor of Commerce/Laws at Monash. Only last year did I realise that one of the prerequisites for Commerce was Methods. This was around course counselling time for year 12, late term 2. When I had my appointment with my coordinator, I explained to her that I really want to do this course but I need methods to get in. She was convinced enough to the point where she put me into a methods class, in term 3. While I understood the content, I feel as if I suffered because I had not done unit 1 or the complete unit 2, plus, my teacher didn't really care for me as she told me in my first lesson, "I think you should stick with just general", without even knowing my abilities. I don't want to sound melodramatic, but I feel as if she set me up for failure. Anyway, I was so defeated by the end of the year that I accepted simply doing Further. Ever since, I've been thinking of all the other things I could do, but I keep on coming back to my original plan. Recently, I found out about the bridging course at Monash for those who haven't met the Methods prerequisite. My older sister thinks that I should just do a Commerce/Laws double at ACU since there's no transport issues and I would not have to waste time on a bridging course. My other sister says that I should go to any uni that offers me a scholarship. I don't know what to do. I'm considering the ACU idea but I'm just not sure about the quality of teaching there and also, I've always wanted to go to Monash, to the point that I don't even care how long it takes me to get there, transport or bridging course wise. I don't want to compromise my dreams for something that is more convenient, I'm up for a challenge. However, maybe I should be more practical. I really don't know what would be the best option.

Update:
What about a Bachelor of Commerce and Laws at Deakin? I was wondering about the quality of teaching there.
Thanks to everyone who's replied

I can't speak to the prerequisite issue much as I didn't do any bridging courses and I'm not fully confident on how that works,  but I can talk about transport.  For all of last semester travel took me 2-3 hours each way, sometimes more on the way back if I was waiting a long time for my vline.  People warned me about this last year and asked "why not just go to unimelb?" (because it is closer).

I have to say,  that after going through my first semester of that I have zero regrets.  I feel very grateful to be studying my course and my dedication to it far outweighs the travel time.

I can't guarantee that you will also feel that way but imo you should stick to your dreams.   I think it's better to experience more travel time rather than having regret and lacking motivation for your course.

Given this statement - I'd say go for Monash
Additionally, whilst I have heard good things about the (relatively) new Law course at ACU, if you are hoping to pursue a career in law (and especially commercial law), a law degree at a G08 uni (Melbourne or Monash) would be very advantageous when it comes to applying for jobs - as unfortunately, some employers can be quite elitist and snobby towards non G08 unis.

Regarding the Law/Commerce Pathway at Monash -
I believe you could enrol in a Monash Law course, complete the unit MTH1010 (which is the equivalent of Methods), then apply for a transfer into Law/Com
