The University has about 35000 local students. Additionally, there are about 3500 international students every semester. The administration really cares about you and you come to know to many people from all parts of this world - not only at university, but also in town. It's a multi-culti population.
The course is on average 20 hours a week. You'll usually get at least one full day off, but a lot of the work is off campus work (readings, assignments etc). The Education side of the course is constantly changing. The lecturers/tutors in both faculties are excellent, and knowledgable in their area. Support is great if you seek it. Definately value for money, especially if you are doing history courses, they are top notch.
Campus life at Sydney is fantastic if you get involved. Heaps of places to socialise and eat in campus, and it's close to Broadway and Newtown. Libraries are excellent especially. Once you get used to the system, it's pretty easy. As daggy as it sounds, take a library tour straight away or you won't get it. Sydney is awesome for that mix of the social and academic.
This university is very close to the shops and close to the city - good location. Easily accessible by public transport (train and bus). Uni facilities were ok. Better in the newer buildings. Accomodation on campus appeared to be a bit expensive. It was cheaper to rent off campus and it is possible to find part time work.
Pros
Excellent lecturers and tutors, this uni is situated in very good area, easily accessible transport, alot of courses to offer.
Cons
Expensive, confusing library system, you need to put alot of time learning in home, the building looks like a prison.
Overall rating 8/10
