UNSW vs USYD Commerce?

[KingTings]

Hey guys!

So I'm interested in studying Commerce however I am conflicted on which university would be ideal (I'm somewhat confident I can achieve the cutoffs).
I've heard from some people that there isn't much difference in prestige etc between these universities.
I've always loved UNSW, however USYD have offered a tiny package as part of e12 ($).
I definitely want to major in finance, and get my foot in the door of the financial services industry (asset management, IB etc).
Did anyone have any experiences/opinions?

Also, would straight Commerce be enough to progress well in financial services? Most people I know working in investment banks/hedge funds all did Commerce/Law or Commerce/Maths etc but I'm a bit hesitant doing a double  .

Thanks!!

Well as you know there really isn't a stark difference so if you think USYD is offering you a better package I say go for it!.

Also no you don't need a double degree to get a job at a hedge fund. From what I've heard from people studying commerce employers see the value of the problem solving ability you gain from doing something like Math with it but it's certainly not necessary as far as I've been told.
