General consensus on UC and ANU?
Heard a lot mixed review between the two universities. From what I’ve been told. UC (University of Canberra) is apparently a drop-kick uni, for drop-kicks that just want a decent degree and move on with their life. DON’T QUOTE ME. That was what was I told. (Not intending to offend anyone.)
And I was also told ANU is a “try-hard” uni, for sweaty university students that get put with the smartest of the bunch to do from what I was told an “insane difficult workload, with a lot of complex assessments.”
If you’ve been to ANU or UC (or both), what’s your 2 cents on both universities and the quality of degrees/classes nowadays? Is AI a huge problem for both universities? I’ve recently seen a lot of IT degrees for both universities falling apart with this new trend called “vibe coding”, where you don’t code, use AI to make stuff for you, and then get suspiciously high grades. And what was the work like before AI took over for university in general? Is it more complex now with AI compared to back then? Or has it been the same over the last several years?
