A supportive and culturally rich learning experience.
Tips: Before joining students should know that the college offers strong academic support a diverse faculty and excellent campus life. Transitioning here was smooth. Though I did experience a positive cultural shift with more independence and diversity. I did not avail of any scholarships, but I am satisfied with my university course and studying in Australia.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The campus offers a vibrant and welcoming environment. I enjoy spending time attending classes studying with friends and participating in the cultural events and workshops. The campus hosts regular activities like festivals.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Faculty is highly knowledgeable supportive and approachable. They use interactive teaching methods like real world case studies, practical labs and group discussions. The department also has faculty from diverse nationalities.

I feel this university is good. Darwin campus is good and the faculty too.
Tips: I have experienced a cultural shift after moving here. I went to an event after my 1st semester. It was good, I met interesting people there also some good faculty members form different departments. I got scholarships with my PTE grade. I am satisfied with the University and with the course that I am pursuing.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty is good for students. And about the part-time jobs, they are less because of the student visa not many part-time jobs are here. It is manageable to do part-time work along with studies.
