is it worth it? I guess so, if ur going to go to usyd anyway then you might as well accept Dalyell. but don’t make your uni decision based on Dalyell as a factor it is not important at all.

what Dalyell does is it replaces 6 credit points of OLEs (typically online broad units) with 12 credit points of Dalyell units (generally pretty annoying broad bs units) - this does mean you miss out on one elective space which is a thing I guess. you also get access to a $2k scholarship for if you go on exchange which is actually pretty nice because it means you can basically go on a free holiday with one of the experience OLEs

basically you might as well take it when u start at usyd and then drop it later if it doesn’t work nicely with your degree, but don’t let it influence ur uni decisions

okay thank you, i still havent really decided between usyd or unsw or maybe even uts, so i HAD actually been looking at dalyell as maybe a swaying factor, but thats good to know that it's kinda irrelevant
i WOULD love to go on exchange though so that could be good.. although i know a lot of unis do scholarships for exchanges...

usyd is definitely very good for exchange, they’re really pushing it hard atm so there’s a lot of scholarships/benefits available and support for organising everything. it is still tough to work with your degree though, I’ve tried to make it work twice but it’s just so tough to organise the corresponding units

wdym tough to organise corresponding units,, like the exchange uni doesnt do certain subjects?
also would an exchange to france or switzerland be hard to do bc it's so far??
