Post by k***@gmail.comPost by m***@gmail.comPost by k***@gmail.comI'm currently doing an MBA at the University of Adelaide I was
wondering what its market value is becayse it is extremely overvalued

there choose a better university
What are the teachers like? That's usually the most important thing
theyre not bad other universities would offer more qualified lecturers
probably. however there is one person who was a bit of a fagot
throughout the degree and that was prof fred mcdougal. not sure if he
