MMU or TARC: degree in CS

Hi I'm choosing between MMU and TARC for my degree in computer science.

From what I gather, TARC is cheaper, and known to offer pretty good education in that field; maybe even better than what MMU is offering.

Having gone through foundation in IT in MMU, I was sternly disappointed by the quality of education and that there are so few good coders here. If TARC have a higher tendency to attract smarter brains then I would opt to go there instead.

I also considered sunway college, which is nearby where I live, but it's not very well known...

Would it be worth moving to a new university? What's your experience? Do share I'm very eager to hear from you

PS: I'm aware of Taylors and Monash, but I can't afford to pay so much ): On a budget here... plus I don't think it's worth that much.

Computer Science Degree: Sunway vs MMU vs KDU

In short, I want to know about school fees (cause they don't post them online D:) between these colleges and how well they stand up against each other, in terms of a degree in computer science. I have a deep fascination and obsession for efficient algorithms, design patterns, and code. Lots of code.

Back story: I'm studying foundation in IT in MMU, and frankly I've been super pissed at what I'm learning. In short, it's 90% garbage in terms of correlation to what you apply at work. My seniors are telling me it's no different in degree, so I thought since I live near sunway area I mind as well finish my degree at Sunway after my miserable and pointless foundation has ended.

It's not that I think it'll be any better, it's just that I think it's pretty much the same shit anyway. Mind as well get my degree from somewhere nearby because it still gets you the degree anyway and that's what companies want. Furthermore (if I'm not mistaken) they cost about the same (RM40-50k).

O, and I heard KDU is ok also. Idk.

And no, Monash is not in consideration. Waaaaay too expensive. Frankly it's hard for me to have any high hopes for any university. I'm currently working as an web dev and I learn a WHOLE lot more, not to mention a more content person. So really I just want that piece of cert, from an at least decent college.
