Melbourne V Monash

[costargh]

bah!

[Collin Li]

Clearly, the UoM should receive 100% of government funding, and all Monash CSP places should be cut. They are destroying the choices of those who want to come to the UoM. </pretentious>  :2funny:

I think that UoM will lose this on the Melbourne Model.

[costargh]

Oh btw. I am not going to vote because I really don't know too much about the differences etc. Maybe they will come up in this thread

I don't see how you can say one is better than the other.
I personally like monash better because
1. it is nice and close
2. I was at UoM for some IS thing last year that happened to be on the same day as their open day, and I just liked the atmopshere etc of monash a lot better

But it depends on what you want to do etc

Also, cheers to you costargh for bringing FSN back into a bit more activity with a poll that's sure to become heated. I think we're sick of god-debates and politics for now

Haha I am safely the poll king. Yeh I was surprised no one made this poll. I reckon a majority of South Eastern based Melbournians would vote Monash because of accessibility.  Hell yeh over god debate. I can't believe its still going. As for politics... emotion :"drained"

[Toothpaste]

Monash feels like home. 

But I don't know what to pick. I have nothing against either universities.

Edit:
Added "Undecided" option

[Pencil]

I'm undecided. SWAY ME!
ha cos it is about time i decided on preferences

I think it's cheaper to live on campus at monash yeah? uom is crazy expensive. Also the breadth doesn't suit me.
Does anyone know about the opportunities that each uni offers to do exchanges at overseas unis?? I know uom is pretty good for this, but I don't know alot about monash.

[costargh]

I like Monash for convenience but Melbourne seems more prestigious.
Haha to be honest either would be great to get into

[Eriny]

As far as I can see, they're both great universities with good reputations. I don't think one uni can be definitively better than the other, especially for undergrads. Some unis may just be better suited to different people. I'm having trouble with the Monash/Melbourne decision too, but I live in the North East, so as far as location goes Melbourne is better, though if could get in the Dean Scholars Arts Program at Monash, that could be a better option for me.

I dunno ... I think it depends on what course you want to do. Like I've been told (by a very biased party, mind you) that UoM music is far superior to Monash music, but that Monash medicine is better than UoM's. Though I agree with coblin that if Monash gets more votes it'll be because of that damned Melbourne Model

[Odette]

Well as others have mentioned, it all comes down to what you want to do. For me neither university will be an option, i was considering monash but its just too far . Anyways from what i've heard ACU is probably the best for teaching
Both universities have their strengths, and both have good reputations, so I'll just vote undecided

[AppleXY]

Well, you know me, i'm a prestige whore and I want have UoM's babies; so I vote Uni. of Melb

What do you think the babies would look like? Would they be the offspring of 150 year old buildings? Glyn Davis?
