Would Monash be better as it has prestige and the ATAR requirement is higher?

I've done a bit of research on Civil Engineering courses in Australia. Monash Uni generally has a pretty high ranking, a lot higher than RMIT. Have a look through some of these:

Have a look at Monash's course map for engineering:

And RMIT's:

Some employers will treat your university with more importance than others, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Some employers may favour Monash graduates, some may favour RMIT graduates.
Generally speaking, a university with a better name for itself will open a couple more doors for you than its lower ranked competitor. I do attend Monash myself so my comments my be a bit biased, but its an excellent place for networking and we have many wonderful connections in most industries.
There is no way of determining what is "better", its all in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I will settle with Monash however do you guys think I have a good chance to get in for the 2nd round of offers? I have got an atar of 93.10 and I qualify for the Monash guarantee.

Monash Guarantee ATAR for Engineering is 86. Since you’ve received well above that, you’ll be almost guaranteed a position as long as you’ve met all other prereqs, including the raw SS requirements.
