Prestige Losing Relevance

I undertook the B-Comm degree in 2020 and am currently in my 3rd year. While the high barriers to entry and impressive name stand to intrigue, the strong private school elitist culture generally dampened the overall experience.

Course satisfaction ratings are less than world-class, reflecting the anti-social environment or perhaps the unbearable group projects with spoon-fed students who never learnt to value other people’s time or efforts.

Although it has been a year since COVID regulations loosened, lectures from 2020 are still being recycled, and many courses are still online, which leads me to often ask myself, ‘what am I paying for?’

I remain in the course as I have come too far not to complete it now. However, I would encourage high school students to look into Monash as opposed to Melbourne for a better culture.
