    Hi all,

    I have been looking forward to study Podiatry for a bout 2 years now.

    I have finally finished my degree and now there are 3 universities that have offered me a place.

    I am not too sure which one I should do my degree at.

    I live in Melbourne and the universities are: La Trobe, Charles Sturt and Newcastle.

    Please give me some advise!!

    THANKS! :) :)

    Firstly well done deciding which acceptance to follow up is a nice kind of problem to have. That said not all courses are the same and they each have strengths and weaknesses.
    You might want to find out intake numbers as the larger the intake the more challenging it is for unis to arrange clinical placements.
    You might want to find out how long the uni has been offering podiatry.
    How long is the course
    Are other allied health courses offered on campus (the more there are the better teaching resources are likely to be)
    My 10c worth

    They are all good - as are all courses in Australia. Yes, they do have their strengths and weaknesses - as does every course in every subject anywhere in The World. One word though; I would not get too bogged down in the fact that Newcastle is only three years while the other two are four. Many of the UK schools are three years, and I do not hear crtiicism of this, in any particular way. Rob
