IBAustralia: What are you basing your opinion on (regarding best Uni’s for geology)?

johndelaney: If you’re an Australian citizen (and I think also if you’re a PR) you can elect to go on HECS, where you don’t pay your uni fees until you start earning above around AUD$35K a year, then they start taking some money out to cover the fees. For med, however, some people are on rural bonded schemes, where they get paid, and have hecs covered, and the requirement is that they work in a rural area for a set period of time once they’re qualified. So maybe she was referring to HECS, or maybe she’s on a bonded place. I imagine there are more schemes like this, but these are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.
