    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...

    Csu - journalism

    Hi Rachel :) I am a second year Journo student at CSU. Firstly, let me tell you that I thought of the same questions as you when I was in year 12. To be honest, I didn't think I would get in because sooo many people kept telling me it was too competitive. But nonetheless, you have to have a...

    Journalism at CSU Bathurst

    Chris Mcgillion is intimidating the first time you meet him! He's straight to the point, which is scary, but also good at the same time because you need someone realistic like him to motivate you. Like, he said when I first met him to our journo cohort: "20 of you will have amazing jobs that...

    bachelor of communications media arts a production 2010

    I had an argument to prove, so I had to use names. Oh, and btw I didn't go to that much effort - just a click of a button. Their names were all listed on channel websites and wikipedia.

    That's the best you can say... 'I need a life'? I'm pretty sure I have a life... don't know about you though. Anyways, I've had a think about why you would make such a dumb statement, and I've come to the conclusion that its just because I can/could justify my argument, considering you had none!
