Is Bond University a good school


Is Bond University a good school?
I was thinking of going to grad school in Australia. Either for business or law. So I was looking into schools for that. It says on Bond's website that they are the best university in Australia. I know incredibly little about it though or about schools in Australia in general. Maybe some here could give me some good advice. They are basing this on the "good university guide." But when I look up their reference, I don't see anything that proves it.

I'd query where Bond is getting their data from. Bond is a private university which means it doesn't get ranked on any international or national scale so unless they quoted a study then you don't know for sure what they meant. It is, however, the largest and most well known private university in Australia. I've heard good things about it, but each university has certain fields in which it excels. I don't know whether it's particularly good for business or law since I don't study in those fields. Try and find some non-university sponsored reviews of Bond online to find out more. Another option would be to email some law firms on the Gold Coast and ask them what their opinion of Bond is. They'll have a better idea of the quality of graduate from there than anyone else and will be less likely to be biased towards any particular institution.

Australia has two private universities of which Bond is one. They are both the newest universities in the Country and have really no reputation to speak of. Most of the lecturers are PT not there all the time, the fees are high and the students for Bond mostly come from overseas or PR Australians (not citizens).. Be aware that Australian law is specific to Australia - most of the information will not be transferable to your own country.

It's a piece of crap. Basically a money making scam to rip-off wealthy people from the Orient. It has no academic reputation to speak of.
