I really don’t think this is the college I wanted.

Tips: Think 100 times before coming to this university. It doesn’t have a campus. Most of the time they don't have alternate options for help. In the first month, I thought to change my university for the very first time. There are better options like the University of Queensland, QUT and Griffith.

Likes (Safety): This city has best safety options. All the safety services are available all the time for students so that they can feel safe. Everyone is very helpful. They never turned their back on us. There are protective services for school students all the time.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I don’t think this university has that many options. It doesn’t have any collaboration with industry-level mentors and organisations. They don’t have proper employment programs as well. University website just has the organization name and it only redirects to their website.

The education is good an is completely based on assignments.

Tips: There was a cultural shift as I came from India. The digital era had not hit India yet, but Australia had already been hit. The education is completely based on assignments, which are online assignments made on Word files and Excel as well. I got a 25% scholarship based on my merit back from my home country. The education is very interactive here, which makes every cent feel worth it, and the course aligns with my interest in becoming a CPA. The country is way better than expected, and the people are way nicer than I expected Aussies to be.

Likes (Student Life): My day at college starts with a coffee served in the morning, and I attend my first lecture at 9 am. Then I get a two-hour break, which gives me time to roam around the city and enjoy the scenery of Darling Harbour. I enjoy the community of teachers the most; it makes studying there a real pleasure. There are a lot of events, and they even have a special movie day every other Wednesday, so you can watch any movie with your buddies and hang out on the couches, munching on snacks. I haven't joined any clubs yet, but I'm thinking of joining the table tennis club.

Dislikes (Indian Food): If you plan to live in Sydney, the nearby community will mostly be of Australian or Lebanese origin. The Indian population is significantly smaller there than in Melbourne or other parts of Australia. However, even though the Indian population is small, you'll find a variety of good food options nearby. I highly recommend immersing yourself in all the cultures in the area.
