    Which Uni is best for media and communications?

    You obviously know NOTHING, absolutely nothing about the media industry. It is a nationally outstanding course and has an excellent industry reputation. You say that they all end up at "local", "country bumpkin" stations?" Hahahahaha. Your asinine comment is so far from the truth it is...

    Journalism at CSU Bathurst

    Yeh I sure do... do journo. :) I got in the early round last yr too haha. It's pretty good... i love it!
