Deakin University is way good in terms of education as well as sports.

Tips: Students should know that they are going to a diverse university which opens up many opportunities for them in future as well. Moreover, the study here is so practical that teaches each thing briefly and such university opens up many opportunities in future.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Quality of faculty was excellent, there was no issue. Moreover, faculties have ample knowledge about their subjects and they clear doubts in just minutes without any hesitation. So it's a helpful thing for students to pursue their subject.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The food options are low here and students suffer. Moreover, students enjoy having their food in home as compared to eating here. The main point is that the food is costly as well and is more focused on non veg food items like chicken which creates a problem.

The transport facilities and too expensive.

Tips: The application process for admission into BA program required me first of all choose the course, containing university's overseas representative, understanding the entry requirements, gathering supported documents, certifying my documents and then submitting my application through Daikin's online portal.

Likes (Part time work): College study hours are flexible , there is not much syllabus to cover also , we can do it at our own. Teacher motivates students to do internships and become self dependent and to know about the work culture, we can learn many skills in our part time.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transports are extremely expensive, I have to use my bicycle to save money to go to the college. There is lot of rush on roads during the day time which leads to wastage of much time before reaching the college , even the drivers does not care that you are getting late they drive on the own will.
