Should I study law/commerce at Adelaide University (6 yrs, $50 000) or Bond University (4 yrs, $100 000)?

Answer 1

as a current bond student, i can tell you that it is not as easy to get in as you think.

Yes! they do look at ALL your academic records, but they also look at your social commitments, community work etc and references.

The bond law school is the best in australia. It has won the university guides uni of choice like 7 years running!

i think when you look at the opportunity cost and potential earnings that you loose from staying an extra 2 years when you could be working, then you may see that bond is the better option.

You can also get some really good jobs out of going to bond, as the university has lots of contacts.

Bond are also big on business as well...it's a very popular combination degree there.

Having transferred from another uni myself, i think that you would probably really enjoy bond law.

btw, the teaching is excellent as well.

Answer 2

From an Australian law students perspective I would go with Adelaide Uni. Bond University, as a private uni, has a reputation as allowing students to "buy" their degrees. I'm not familiar with Adelaide Uni enter score, but chances are it would probably be harder to get into than Bond.

The cost factor is also a detriment. If you can afford the tuition at Bond, that's great, but if not, why pay the extra money. At least at Adelaide Uni you'd have the chance to get a Help-Loan.

If the fact that you can finish your degree quicker at Bond is important, then keep in mind that most uni's offer summer school or winter school units. You may be able to shorten your degree by a year or so by doing these.

All in all it's up to you to decide. Take a tour of both uni's and see where you feel most comfortable.

Answer 4

Go to Adelaide, as someone said Bond has a bit of a bad reputation. If you actually want to be good at what you do, it would be better to take more time to get the degree. Plus, if you change your mind about what you want to study half way through your degree, it won't cost you as much to complete your studies.

Answer 5

Evolution, carbon dating, fossils and earth layers offer nothing for dating the earth - rather nuclear chemistry and the physics of radioactive isotopes give us the date of 4.6 billion years. Biblical accounts leading to dates of 6 to 10,000 years are too spurious to be taken seriously. All of modern science tells us that a literal account of Genesis must be wrong.

Answer 6

I think you should choose the one that gives you a better education and the one that gives you better comfort.
