well UWS can't be too bad, they just opened up a medical school there, so now you can get a mbbs from UWS. I doubt they'd let low quality universities provide medicine degrees :)

Answer 5

The trouble is its location, deep in Ug boot territory and the lower socio-economic working class

Answer 6

its good for some courses

Answer 7

Hey,

Well, UWS doesn't have the reputation that UNSW or USyd have.

I don't know about the teaching quality myself, but I have friends that go there and they seem to like it fine.

A degree is a degree --> if you don't like it, you can always transfer
