    Travelling 1hr+ to uni

    Advanced engineering at UWS or engineering at UTS

    If i were you, i'd go UWS. Engineering is a hard enough degree as it is and there always tonnes of stuff to do.. If you only live 15 minutes from the place, then take advantage of it. Why put yourself through 3+ hours of travelling each day? when you can use that time to do better things...
