For me,
I'd say Melb Uni.
well, ima student in yr 12 this year, Im studying in Sydney, and
im also looking around Unis. Half my family lives in Melb, so i
travel to and fro quite frequently.
Seriously, Melb Uni is better than Monash. and it also depends
on which campus you are at and where you stay.
Eg, If you stay somewhere along flinders st or Swanston St, then
its much more practical to go to melb uni,(bleh, many trams head
towards melb uni from there). + the rep of Melb uni is much better,
just by taking a look at the ENTER scores, ( i think, or isit
called ATAR, cause its supposed to be standardised this yr).
If im not wrong Monash Uni is in the outskirts of the city. Just
slightly more than an 30mins to reach from Melb central.
eg. for medical sciences in Melb Uni, ENTER req is approx
99.5~99.95
- which only the top 0.05% of the students sitting for a VCE
that year will qualify for.
Whereas for Monash Uni,
for the same course of Med sciences, its about 84~85 ENTER.
Note: where a difference of 1 ENTER point represents a shift of
an approx 1000 places.
I understand that as you've stated, you want to pursue Commerce.
The differences in ENTER for your preferred course choice is about
there as well.
Well, ENTER scores basically reflects the demand of the course,
and a low ENTER means that the course is low in demand.
therefore, if no one wants to go to a certain Uni which is
unpopular, why would you? ( in this case, im comparing
it between the ENTER scores for universities).
So its a direct interpretation that Melb Uni IS better than
Monash, and they DO get the better students there.
Well,
correct me if im wrong, but certain courses in Monash Uni are
not recognised by certain countries like the UK, whereas for Melb,
it is. yep.
thats what i think.
All the best!
