Sorry I still don’t know which one I should go.
or if you want to enjoy uni a little bit more by doing an easier undergraduate degree first before starting medicine pick UQ. If you want to start medicine ASAP because you are super enthusiastic about being a doctor, then go Adelaide.If you want to earn money earlier take Adelaide. If you don't want to be locked into work life a year earlier take UQ.
I have to point out that doing an “easier” undergraduate will result in the actual medical degree (4 years instead of 6) being a lot more condensed and “harder”.or if you want to enjoy uni a little bit more by doing an easier undergraduate degree first before starting medicine pick UQ.

Adelaide is tough?
For 2014 a total of 39 students across the entire non-first year Adelaide cohort dropped out.
I assumed “period” which would be consistent with the surprised tone in the post... but I’m keen to hear what exactly Dusk was told and by who.
That was 6 years ago. I remember Mana saying things have changed since.

Do you mean things have changed since?I haven't seen the next official report yet, but I feel like it is overdue if it isn't out yet.

Griffith is only one extra year and gives you a chance to earn a non-bonded position - you’re young so I wouldn’t let the time factor influence your decision too much. Don’t think crime and racism would be vastly different in either region - though I’d be interested to hear where you got this information - is it anecdotal evidence that you’re drawing that conclusion from?Home state: NSW
Offer 1: Griffith
Offer 2: Curtin BMP
Any scholarships offered: None
Any accommodation secured: Already moved to Brisbane for griffith, received curtin top up today
Internship location preference: Sydney
Other important information: I like Curtin since it's 5 years, but a negative is its bmp. I dont like the hot weather in Brisbane, but am wary of perth since I've heard there's more crime and racism? Does anyone have any input, and what would you do if you were in my situation? I've already moved to brisbane from sydney.
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to give that detailed reply.Griffith is only one extra year and gives you a chance to earn a non-bonded position - you’re young so I wouldn’t let the time factor influence your decision too much. Don’t think crime and racism would be vastly different in either region - though I’d be interested to hear where you got this information - is it anecdotal evidence that you’re drawing that conclusion from?
The “hot weather” will probably be worse in Perth than Brisbane a lot of the time, and keep in mind you’re only in Brisbane for 2 years before moving to the GC. I wouldn’t let this influence your choice either.
Your chances of gaining a Sydney internship are slim, but equal, regardless of which uni you attend. You’re also located a shorter travel time to Sydney from SEQ than Perth.
If I were you I’d stick with Griffith, but that’s just my opinion.
When it comes to climate, I actualy prefer perth because of its lower humidity, the heat is bearable compared to brisbane.
Could the same not be said about the bonded scheme? You’re relatively young, and 3 years isn’t that long, and it’s a different experience (to metro life), and often very rewarding to work in a rural community.
Sure, it could - just offering my perspective.Could the same not be said about the bonded scheme? You’re relatively young, and 3 years isn’t that long, and it’s a different experience (to metro life), and often very rewarding to work in a rural community.

Can I ask why “downside” is the requirement for minimum of 18 months post-fellowship ?Sure, it could - just offering my perspective.
For me the time factor with the bonded requirement wouldn’t phase me, but the requirement for a minimum of 18 months post-fellowship is the main “downside” of the bonded scheme in my eyes.
chinaski addressed this at some length in the chatbox last night so I would suggest that reading through there is a good start (as well as looking at the thread about BMPs).Can I ask why “downside” is the requirement for minimum of 18 months post-fellowship ?
