My bro applied for Industrial Design at Monash Uni. Got letter saying, we want you but not enough places, wait till someone drops out.
Decided to go through Monash College; a private college meaning no hecs, so its full fee (loan from the college)
$20,000 for first year. Course was full of bullshit arts subjects. In order to get into Industrial Design or Architecture, you needed 80% average. Which is bullshit because how can you grade artwork. Comes down to how the fag arts teacher "feels" about your creation etc
All they "feel" is that if they keep your average below 80%, thats more money for them lol
Dropped out, before the 2nd year starts ($15000) and re-applying for the course in the new year.
