VU isn't as bad as most people make it out to be, I mean sure the facilities could be better, but you're there to study, and the lecturers and tutors seem to know what they're talking about (well from my experience anyways) and it has a pretty good rep for business/IT fields, so I guess each uni has their own area in which they shine... at the end of the day, a degree is a degree, it's the person's willingness to stand out, experience, passion and ambition that gets them the job, not which uni they went to. Just my opinion though.

not to be rude, but a degree can vary uni to uni. Some subjects taught in UoM (such as Math I) is (i think) very difficult compared to VU math. Some commerce subjects are not taught in other unis in Victoria, or taught much more professionally or in an advanced manner. I mean, if I was an employer for Citigroup Aust, I would pick the UoM graduate over the VU graduate who have done the same amount of extra-curricular activities.

Just my 2cents.

Look despite what anyone say VU is not all that bad, what i have heard is that they offer a more hands on learning experinece. I will be putting atleast one or two on my list as a saftey net sort of thing. Although i do agree about the whole 'OMG no not tafe, or no not VIC UNI' im soo sick of it- i hear it everyday at school because apparently everyone in my school is going to get 99 as an enter and have melbourne begging for their placment. ALthough about ACU, my impressions of ACU based on the open day is honestly not that high- i suppose it just didnt capture me.... that and i swear to god every floor or entrance i went in or through smelt like farts- like REALLLLLLY bad. :D

Well either way and the end of the year, what will be will be.

Lol.... 99 from your school -falls on the floor from laughing so hard- let's be realistic here, if anyone get's above 97, heck above 95, I'll be shocked. Sure some of you are bright young individuals, but you're not going to get 99,well not all of you anyways. Hope I didnt sound offensive, but I know the standard of the school (I went there remember :P)

My uncle graduated from VU with a science (Hons) degree. He used to be a computer programmer and a builder, now he's an architect with a large house and everyone loves him :D

lol. 99 is a greaaatttt ambition and all, majority of us have it. but to be realistic... i agree odette.... * laughs so hard i get stiches * .. UoM ISANT the only uni out there and it annoys the living hell when i say TAFE or Deakin Uni... let alone VU and they all go... WTF? i think this site is also a bit bias towards UoM only coz alot of people attend there. UoM is not even one of my prefrences why.... coz they are gay... JKS... ;D just coz its not suited for me. law is a post grad? ??? .... yeah nup im not gonna get into the arts then transfere, its a waste of time.

applexy, i disagree with you.... not eveyone will pic people from UoM to employ. what matters is the interview and how they present themselves... would an employer what a smart arse shit from UoM who think they are all top shit just coz they studied there? or someone from VU who has done the same type of course, well presented and down to earth who can GET THE JOB DONE?  :P
 :laugh:




.:*|  Dusty™ |*:.

*Specialist Maths.
*Maths Methods.
*Chemistry.
*Legal Studies.
*English.


As if this is a place where people dont laugh at your ENTER.

ENTER does not determine how smart you are. so you can STFU now...thanks
also, PM ME if you have a problem. bring up a problem which CONCERNS ME only, not half of VN who also do the same action.
thanks

Well it all depends on the job I guess Dusty, but when it comes to the technical stuff, or business-type fields VU is pretty well off (My mum's boss' son went to VU, landed his first job at some accounting firm, a year or so later made partner) So it just depends on the person and their love of what they're doing, if you love something you'll go the distance, that extra mile or whatever you want to call it. Oh and another thing, in the business world it's a dog eat dog world. so it's who you know not what you know xP (Build up your networks little ones)

Not exactly dusty. It's more about who can do the job most efficiently than effectively. In simple terms, they want people that give them a bang for their buck.

Yes, but personality matters too. No employer would want a UoM graduate who is a "smart arse shit from UoM who think they are all top shit" (lol) and who pisses off the other employees and makes a crappy work environment. Even if they were the most efficient people in the world they still cannot do the jobs of all those pissed off employees who leave the company in frustration :P

I never really understand these arguments about 'which uni is better?' They're all fine.

(.... says an ANU student :D)

Bullshit, "there's a lot of that."
I don't know about "a lot", but there definitely are quite a few.

e.g. the facebook group "Melbourne is better than Monash"


Quote
1. Melbourne attracts the best and brightest students from around Australia and the world.

3. Founded in 1853, Melbourne is Australia's 2nd oldest university. It encapsulates prestige and tradition.

4. Melbourne attracts the most intelligent students. It holds, on average, the brightest 10% of students entering from yr 12.

14. Monash has more students because Melbourne take only the smartest students.

21. Melbourne holds more tradition and pride in its university than Monash.

22. Students at Melbourne are more interactive and engaged with uni life than Monash students.

Can't get much snobbier and "I-think-I'm-top-shit-watch-out" than that.
