I say hit up UWS and then transfer after a year I have quite a few friends that did that, UWS-->UTS,SYD,UNSW * INSEARCH cost heaps more, 7500 a semester. My Eng degree at UNSW cost me 4000 a year, but that was about 5 years ago, I'm old. * There is the possibility that you can credit all your studies and enter uni as a second year student, depends on what course your doing at uni and how well you do at insearch. * You will graduate Insearch with a diploma, but certain courses will only be available based on your performance. Besides if you do well at first year uni, transferring shouldn't be hard at all. So why pay all that extra money to only possibly put yourself in the same friggin situation again?? Also going to uni, you will meet more friends etc and people doing different courses. First year uni is more or less just testing the water. I think out of all the high school friends that I still keep contact with, about 70% of them changed course after first year cause it wasn't what they expected or they didn't like it. I found this with alot of first year students. If your still not 100% sure what you are doing, go to uni and spend a year to find out. Rather then going to Insearch, then entering uni, then not liking it, then changing again. Wasting time and money. And if your not rich?? Not trying to be negative, and there is no such thing as paying parents back. Give them all the love that they deserve and I am sure it will keep them happy.
