Monash Vs Melb Uni - Creative Writing and Psy

[kiraxxx]

Title says it all:
Which university offers the better course when it comes down to The Arts: Creative writing and Psy
I feel that the monash creative writing course is better but can some others give me opinions...

Thanks

I reckon Monash for Creative Writing... I wouldn't know about Psych. During open day at Melbourne I had a good long talk with one of the English professors, and he said that he was slightly disappointed that he couldn't teach as much as he used to at undergrad level because they axed too many of the things he was qualified to teach, and some subjects were effectively nullified at both undergrad and post grad level. Monash offers more options, for now anyways, I think.

I would actually say neither for creative writing, try Swinburne or RMIT.
UoM have cut quite a few of their creative writing units recently fyi

Wow I'm actually planning on doing those exact same subjects next year!
My first preference is Melbourne B-Arts. RMIT apparently is really good, you had to send in a pholio of your work. They were willing to offer me a place but I decided to decline.
What did you end up choosing then?

I choose monash because they do a whole unit on fantasy writing - XD

But I have to admit the psych course at melb uni sounds better though

Sounds great! Have fun next year, I'm really looking forward to it!
