Man people are so lazy nowadays.

[wildareal]

For example with Dentistry people are moving away from the Melbourne Graduate System to Bendigo which is an inferior university (albeit it requires a high 99+ score to get in) all just to add a few years to the 50 years they will be working. MADNESS!

Why waste time in uni when there is more training to do once you get out of the university system?

I'm not sure if you can call LaTrobe Uni an "inferior university".  It may not have been around for as long as UoM or Monash and it may not be as reputable overall, but it does have some pretty good courses, which makes it "superior" in some aspects.

Why does UniMelb have to get all Americanised...?

For the university itself - money and to a smaller extent advertising with all the attention it brings.  For students, a more generalised degree that have the possibility of branching out into many things.  It's good for those who have no clue what to do and what to try out different things.

Very true that, but not good for students who have their minds set on something that requires further study/training after uni!

People don't want to get screwed over when they don't get into Dent and be stuck with a biomedicine degree which they would never consider if it wasn't a pathway to med/dent whatevs?

[crayolé]

Dentistry is so much easier interstate :/

But i want to stay in Melbourne so badly

We're looking at 99.5+ for Bendigo next year. I reckon they'll start implementing UMAT in a couple years time

[Fyrefly]

Wanting to finish a degree faster makes people lazy how...?

Given that you wish to be un-lazy, maybe you should go part-time... you'll finish in oh... say... 10 years?
That's ultimate un-laziness right there.

 

[ninwa]

or do a part-time medicine/law degree, that'll take like 16 years

Wow, that's just WAY too long lol...

And I thought two extra years for engineering at Melbourne Uni was annoying >.<.
