What should I do?

-sighs- my parents are making me go to vu

Ah well
If you get great marks, you'll be able to transfer to another university at the end of the year I'm pretty sure.

Nonetheless, I don't think your parents should be able to decide for you. It's your future.

Good luck anyway.

Exactly what i told my parents, oh well i guess its better than wasting a whole semester, and anyway, once i graduate, i could always continue studies elsewhere

[clinton_09]

why do they want you to go to VU?

[AppleXY]

VU is like the complete and utter contrast of UoM. I mean, far out, VU is like just a big public school (and that's low). All the drug lords go there for education LOOOL (ok that's harsh lol)

[pete_owntbychem]

(ok that's harsh lol)

but true

Well the way my parents see it is that a degree is a degree whether its from VU or UoM, only difference is the reputation/prestige each university has... Oh well -sigh-

lol, not quite. Going to a 'prestigious' uni can translate into higher graduate salaries (on average) and it'll much easier to find and obtain a career at a large-firm (citi, exxonmobil etc) (providing you have the required work experience).

Also for a real case example, (totally unbiased, being the zealot I am ) UoM's IT courses suck due to their out-of-date/irrelevant course material. This could potentially mean losing vital knowledge of some parts of the course. See?

Tell that to my parents! They don't listen to me lolz... oh well VU it is -prays vu doesn't accept me or my application gets lost in the mail-

It's more irrelevance in a rapidly changing market. I mean, they teach ELECTRONICS when the shift is moving towards analysis, design, consulting etc... Coding is offshored.

I have a couple of mates who are doing accounting at VU right now. However, I agree with the sentiments on this forum that VU is a poor standard uni.
