Deakin University is academically demanding but rewarding.

Tips: Before joining, know it's academically demanding but rewarding. Transitioning was tough at first cultural shift hit hard, but I got adapted in about 2 months. I got a merit-based scholarship with a decent discount on my studies. Overall, I am satisfied with the course.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is one of the best things in Melbourne. Trains, trams and buses - they connect every small area which you can not even think of. Everything runs on a smart card system called Myki, and services are generally frequent, reliable and easy to navigate for newcomers.

Dislikes (Internships): Honesty internships are not really the culture here. Instead, you usually get part-time jobs, working alongside professors as assistants and getting paid for that experience. However, typically you need to be at least in your second year of studies and have a decent academic standing to do this.

Deakin University: Innovative, inclusion and industry redlines.

Tips: I have transitioned in many ways, and Australia has changed my point of view in each and every way. There was not much of a cultural shift. The people of Australia are very friendly and have a welcoming nature. In the beginning, it was pretty tough because I didn't have friends or relatives. But it made me the most, the strongest, and self-powerful, and that is what independence means. Public transportation is the best in the city. It is affordable, accessible, and convenient. It costs me $300 monthly, which I feel is a good rate. The buses are frequent, which is also helpful. Overall, I am quite satisfied wth my experiences.

Poor course, great university, great country, and networking is preferred over skills.

Tips: My Indian University hired a VISA consultant who did most of the application work and I prepared for my IELTS to transition here, taking the entire process about 5 months. The difference was too much availability of non-vegetarian food such as beef, pork, chicken, fish etc. which you might also have to deal with at part-time jobs and expensive vegetarian food if eating out. Further, the weather here is unpredictable as rain can downpour anytime. Cleaning standards are high here and dust does not fly off in the wind hence white clothes or shoes will not get dirty for days. Teachers and professors or even the elderly are called by their first names without any sir or mam. The culture is also difficult for Indian students as we are used to getting spoon-fed by our teachers while maintaining a standard of attendance, but here you can attend classes at your own pace and you are expected to have gone through the provided online material before attending any class. My scholarship is 25% which was the maximum allowed and is provided by almost all the universities in Australia easily and my course included getting a high credit grade to avail scholarship. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course due to the negligence of core unit selection. However, I'm satisfied with the country and the university that provides several services such as counselling, networking, sports events and other events.

Likes (Safety): The region that I live in Melbourne, Victoria is pretty safe and I can walk with headphones, using my smartphone in the middle of the night, without a care of being robbed, mugged or assaulted but there are always exceptions such as drunkards, hood people and more. To date, I have had no safety issues. To ensure safety, most of the area is covered with surveillance systems, cameras, traffic systems, reliable health care services expensive, or not have good health cover and trustworthy and unbiased people, mostly.

Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is scarce and off-campus jobs are average and mostly require prior experience, and references which can be anyone as long as they have an "Australian phone number" and several hours of standing and repetitive work. There is racism when getting a job and recruiters mostly prefer people from their own ethnicity, except Indians who try to exploit you in terms of pay rate as well as other ways. The part-time work is manageable as there is a strict maximum limit of working 48 hours a fortnight, hence, one can easily manage their academics, if capable. The average payout in Australia in Victoria for part-time is 24.1 AUD per hour and for casuals which is another job category, that includes you working, when there is a requirement, you have the control to reject plays 30.25 AUD per hour, which could be unreliable at times.

Student Life at Deakin is wonderful and vibrant. There is a mix of cultures with no discrimination.

Tips: Deakin offers a vibrant life and good faculty, with plenty of scholarship opportunities and internships for students. The people at Deakin helped me adjust to the cultural shift very well. The quality of faculty is exceptionally good. My instructors are very knowledgeable and offer a lot of support. They are really helpful when I need support or advice on my studies. For instance, if I reach out to them for emotional support, they will refer me to a counsellor. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course, country, and university.

Likes (Post study jobs): Student Life at Deakin is wonderful and vibrant. They offer various activities to keep students happy and healthy. There is a mix of cultures with no discrimination and various activities that keep the students engaged. They offer various clubs, which keep the student going.

The university is good and there are a lot of part-time opportunities.

Tips: There is a huge cultural difference, so get a part-time job as soon as possible and learn how to speak to locals and their culture. Students coming in might feel disconnected, but don't give up. Everyone feels the same. Just try to adjust and be open to all new things. Join international student communities to make friends. I had a 25% scholarship which helped me a lot. I got it based on my previous grades. I did the first two years of my 2+2 course in India and got the scholarship based on those two years. The course is fine, and the university doesn't matter. The country is awesome. There are some problems, but no place is perfect. This is one of the best in my opinion. The minimum pay itself is very high, and jobs are available.

Likes (Indian Food): There are all types of food from around the world available, but the prices are quite high, especially for students. Eating out every day is not feasible, so I cook for myself, which is more cost-effective. There are tiffin services that provide two meals for 10-15 dollars, so that is another option.

Dislikes (Value for money): In Australia, nobody cares about your college but only your skills and network determine whether you get a job. Even if you do the same course at a college with much lower fees, it won't make any difference. When you apply for a job, there are two steps to getting your resume selected: one is knowing someone in the company, and the next is having the required skills. If you have no network or connections, you'll have to put in the same amount of effort whether you're from Melbourne University or any other college.

Deakin University increases fees every year, so living on campus is expensive.

Tips: One thing that students should know before coming to this university is that the teaching style is quite different from that in India, and there won't be regular classes and exams as we are accustomed to in India. Students need to make themselves more practical-oriented and focus on balancing their studies with other chores. Some other important points to note are that university fees increase every year, and living inside the university accommodation is expensive, as compared to living outside.

Likes (Safety): Deakin always has security officers present at the university 24/7. Also, they have an app called Safe Zone, using which the campus security team can access our location. There are different options available on the application, using which we can call the campus support services.

Dislikes (Internships): It's not hard to get into chips, but in Australia, colleges don't place students, and you are responsible for finding your own internships. Thankfully, Deakin has a team called "DeakinTalent" that can provide some guidance on building a resume and LinkedIn profile. Still, you're left to your own devices to take full advantage of these resources.
