I first started off with Lego, then Sim City, now forums... Its such a privilege to live in a time and place where we can sit back and watch our region thrive.

yes i understand on what you mean about built environment
but, international companies and cities recongises UQ more then QUT because of being the top uni in the sunshine state which i reckon its a load of bulldust
i really love getting into QUT but, as an Asian, your parents would like to push you into UQ then QUT and they had since telling me that you wont get anything for being a town planner...
im doing urban development (urban and regional planning)
i hope i see you in QUT next year (hopefully if i get in)
and yes i agree with you
about our region thriving
i always wished we can surpass melbourne but it doesnt looks like we can now

I was doing Arch for 4 years at QUT, it was not very good at all. But they did require us to work and study at the same time, which was great becasue I got real world experience and... money.

I'll be going to UWA in 2009/10 to finish it off.

I believe QUT does have some good courses, aparently business is good there. But really after going into the real world for a while you notice you are just paying for an education you could pull of the internet. That probably sums up ALL universities.

since my OP is pretty embarrassing
im thinking of doing a double degree in Griffith called Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning/Bachelor of Sci. (env.)
anyone think its a good course if i want to be a town planner? and is Griffith good at town planning. I mean, many of the recent transportation articles were from Griffith and QUT
i havent read/heard 1 from UQ yet
plz give me some idea

A mate of mine went to Griffith and he said it was a good course. His main complaints were the location.

Wouldn't be such a bad choice at all! Wouldn't have a clue about the Science though.

I live near the campus where they teach the course (Nathan), probably take me 10 mins catching the bus.
But the only thing that worries me is the reputation for the uni.
