The open day for Macquarie was sub-par, to say the least, but its potential accessibility, quality of education, and unit offerings made it an attractive option. I ultimately chose to attend this university for its convenient location and career prospects. I applied for 6 universities and was offered places for five.

Close to home it's pretty good. I didn't want to pay heaps in fuel and public transport so this was a good option. Also because they offered early acceptance stuff so I didn't have to worry about my school results as much....Read More

There are two specific reasons why I chose this particular university. First because of the course value and second because of the location. The course was not only challenging but it also tested a student in ways that enriched his knowledge base....Read More
