What your Sydney university says about you
Sydney is home to a huge range of different universities, so when you make that choice, what does that say about you? SEE THE LIST

Need a hand choosing where to go to uni after school?
Sydney has a massive range of tertiary options, should that be the path you choose.
Again, all tongue in cheek …
University of Sydney
One word – Quadrangle.
You most likely went to a private school so USyd was the only place for you. It’s highly likely you study Law or Commerce and will take a job with your dad’s company soon after graduation, or you’re a doctor in training.
Your uni bag has a designer logo on it and it’s not unusual to see a Lamborghini or Roller in the student carpark – however that car could easily be yours.
You also know how to dodge a protester or two.
(Full transparency – I am a graduate of the University of Sydney but only attended campus once. Not sure if that counts, but it sure does feel exciting to say “I went to USyd.”)
Macquarie University
You most likely study Criminology, Business or Arts and have never met anyone else on your course because why go in if you can go online?
If you do go onsite – and can find a park – you need a packed lunch and a degree on how to find where your classes are held.
Best of luck!
University of Technology Sydney
You study IT, Media or Design so the emphasis on postmodern architecture around campus appeals to you. You wear a lot of black and know where the best bubble tea in Sydney is.
But you’re gatekeeping that.
Western Sydney University
You are probably studying Nursing or a health science.
You love the convenience of going to uni close to home … when you can get a park!
Lucky the food is amazing, so you persist.
UNSW
Law student? Health? Most probably!
The uni so good it has TWO of its very own light rail stations, which are such a convenient way to get to campus and you are grateful … however it would be great if you could hear anything over the din.
