Diverse and supportive campus environment.
Tips: Before joining the college students should know that it emphasis independent learning, critical thinking and originality. So choose a course you are genuinely passionate about is essential to keep up academically. My transition was challenging at first due to the difference in teaching style, classroom interaction and lifestyle, but the diverse and supportive campus environment helped me adjust smoothly. I also availed a merit base scholarship by applying during the admission process with my academic records, which provided partial financial support towards tuition and living expenses. I am very satisfied with my university course and the country as the experience has been academically, enriching, cultural, diverse, and personally rewarding.

Associate Degree in Aviation (Professional Pilots) - Batch of 2025
4.1
Good and fun university experience.
Tips: Choosing a niche degree, as I did in aviation. It makes your university experience better, due to a smaller class size and cohort, diverse people and varied learning. Professors know you well and the competition you face from many home country students is less. A lot of competition in data Science or IT and no class diversity. Do not blindly rely on immigration advice and recognised agents. Laws tend to change by the time you graduate. Every international student usually gets a 20% scholarship on their RMIT offer letter. For other unis, apply early and confirm your enrollment decision early, to avail scholarships. They are merit based and also depend on your performance each semester or trimester. You can also minimise your subject study loads by credit transfers if you have course outcomes and transcript documents from your previous university evaluated. Do not do too many credit transfers and try to complete a semester as it shortens your visa. University reputation doesn't matter much to get jobs. It doesn't have to fall in legacy Australian G8S. However don't switch to ghost universities to save tuition, as they are not listed when doing company job applications online. Try to do part time work in organisations to develop workplace skills rather than food delivery and ride share taxi jobs. Be active in university and ambassador programs. Go to coffee meetups and networking events to develop mentor-mentee relationships for 1-2 years before asking for a referral.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself as that's cheaper. However plenty of vegan and vegetarian options are available in Melbourne city - for example, Crossways restaurant on Swanston Street, Three Brother restaurant on Elizabeth Street, Bhoj at Docklands, Sarvanna Bhavan, Dosa Hut and Chilli India, on King Street. DoorDash is a grocery and food delivery app that has good options too. Dosa usually costs around 15-18 dollars. Biriyani for 18-25 dollars. Usually meals are around 20 dollars.
Dislikes (Internships): There is guidance however, in my field, global opportunities are better than Australian opportunities. Aviation in Australia requires a background check like PR/citizens and security clearance (ASIC), due to a safety focused industry. RMIT Aviation is recognised globally. There is will or work integrated learning (unpaid) as a subject to take up for university credit, if you get an offer letter for an internship in a small to medium sized startup company or internship programs in larger companies.

Fun and vibrant student life.
Tips: This is a very good university. I don't think you'll regret coming over here. The value for money is good. It is located in the main area. The connectivity is good. The study environment is fast-paced and quite independent. You will have to spend time in the library with your friends or else by yourself.
Likes (Part time work): A lot of events are going on in the university. There are clubs like RUSU, RIC. They organise events like Disco, Disco deewane, Garba event, etc. I have enjoyed myself a lot with my friends at those events. A good place to connect and make new friends. There's an event every Tuesday under the Kirrip Club at RMIT. So Tuesdays are fun, we play a lot of games, video games, cars, chess, and stuff like that on Tuesdays. We get to meet new people over there.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The quality of faculty is good. They are very friendly. You can go to them and ask about any doubts that you have in your mind. They would help you solve the doubt. We can book the session if we are not comfortable asking questions in class. The faculty is very accessible and approachable. They respond to emails within a reasonable time. Good experiences.

Great learning experience.
Tips: Students should know that the workload is fast paced but the learning environment is very supportive. Transitioning here was smooth with easy VISA process. I got a lot of help from IDP. I also availed a scholarship of a 20% tuition fee waiver.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus feels safe with security, CCTV and late night support but the city can be crowded at times. Plus, the tram connectivity with proper public transport, multiple routes, makes travel easier and comfortable. It's a good experience.

Lovely place. Must visit and study here.
Tips: Students should know that food should be a top priority. Please learn how to cook your native meals so that you don't feel homesick. As an Indian student, I have faced a lot of problems regarding food especially since I don't eat garlic or onions.
Likes (Internships): There are a lot of internships present in RMIT and I have to say I am very pleased with everything. The mentors are great. The pay is sweet and most of all, people with the right mindset are present here, which keeps me motivated to excel in my studies.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I don't see any Indian places near the campus that I can eat around. Australian food habits are totally different from Indian food habits. The food there is bland and I almost miss my mom's home cooked meals. I don't know how to cook, so that adds to my sorrows.

Friendly and easy-going university with lots of clubs and activities you can enjoy on a daily basis.
Tips: The university provides a 20% scholarship as standard. The university is good in terms of education and supports a good work culture as well. Most of the courses at RMIT University do not have written exams. You are graded based on your assignments which results in a less stressful environment compared to other universities.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty provides a good quality of education as well and they are easy to understand. The faculty will provide a good amount of support in your academics. They will help you gain a better understanding of the subject. Most of the faculty members carry a friendly nature.
Dislikes (Internships): The internships offered are above average, but it is not certain that you will get a guaranteed internship. There is ample guidance available for your internships. There are clubs that will help you with your resume and applications as well. Internships related to the course are available but you will have to work hard to be considered for such internships.
