Hello. I applied for Bachelor of Business and Commerce at Monash Sunway for Feb intake.

1. First, I would like to know how are the lecturers for this degree? Are they good (if you transferred to Caulfield/Clayton, are they as good as the lecturers there)?

2. How many students are there in one class usually? Are there like few classes taking the same degree as in like same intake but different class?

3. I was thinking of transferring to Caulfield for either Bachelor of Business or B.Commerce majoring accountancy in the second year. I want to know whether it would be hard? Will my final cert show one degree or Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree?

4. And if anyone transferred, can you tell me your experience? Was it hard blending in? Was the course structured very different? And is the lecturer very hard to understand?

Please reply because I need to make urgent decisions. Thank you very much >_<

I actually got the offer for Bachelor of Business in Monash Berwick campus. But I'm unsure of enrolling there because the degree was just establish this year. There are quite little students there (I heard). I prefer a more friendly environment with loads of people. I have also read a few forums that international students are not really welcome warmly there.

Thanks for the opinions. I'm really grateful!
If I can, may I know what are you majoring in now? How was your first year? How would you rate the difficulty of getting average of 70% overall in the first year?
Btw, do you choose the tutorial class after orientation day?

Thanks for the opinions. I'm really grateful! It was very helpful

B.Comm vs. B.Bus?

Personally I heard B.Comm is harder and more to tests while B.Bus is more to hands on work (maybe like assignment?).

Which one would you recommend to an average student who can get passing/good grades but is always unable to get super great grades? For my SAM results, my assignment help to push up my grades A LOT. For extra info, I got 79.5 ATAR. Furthermore, a Monash (not Sunway) counsellor had told me that I could take the diploma (1 year) for business (either commerce or business) in Clayton. However, for me to continue in the second year of Bachelor degree (either comm/bus) I would have passed a certain (average? I don't remember what she said, sorry) mark.

It is 70 for B.Comm and 60 for B.Bus. Thus, I'm uncertain whether I should overestimate my abilities or underestimate my abilities? Which should I choose? Business or Commerce? I'm planning on majoring accounting the second year if I think can handle it after experience in first year.

Because diploma is considered a foundation after all. At least if I actually immediately started the first year in Bachelor degree, I still have a pathway into the second year. However if I fail to meet the expectation for the diploma, I might not be able to get in the Bachelor degree and have wasted my one year worth of money which is quite a lot. Should I go for diploma in Clayton or bachelor of bus/comm in Sunway? But I would still like to transfer to Caulfield/Clayton after a year in Bachelor degree because my parents really want me to be independent and get some experience.

What do you guys think? I like to hear opinions.

Hello nice peoples.

I want to know how hard would it be to get average of 70 in the first year of

1. bachelor of commerce
2. bachelor of business
3. bachelor of business and commerce

Is it usually rare for people to get those average?
Is the assignments and test for first year quite hard?
I'm the usual average student whose scores ranges in the middle of the class. Never highest and never lowest.
But since this is uni, not school or college, and uni are mostly self studies, I'm not sure about my ability to scores average of 70.
You can rate it if you can't describe it
Preferably tell me whatever comes in the mind.
