Beautiful, supportive and reliable.
Tips: I have observed a huge cultural shift, especially during Indian festivals. They do celebrate here, but it can't be compared with the celebrations in India. I got a 25% scholarship, applying online. If you are coming through agents, always make sure to double-check the information provided by the agent. I have come across multiple Indian students who were cheated by their agents, only to extort money from them. If people have experience from India, then they won't find the course very useful. Although the professors provide huge support to students in their academics so make sure to reach out and don't be shy.
Likes (Indian Food): If students are looking for Indian restaurants, then I would say Clayton has many restaurants. I prefer cooking at home since I can manage my calorie intake. The average rate for a meal would be 30 AUD. I would highly recommend trying different cuisines as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): I would recommend that students always check their student job portals for availability on-campus part-time jobs. The pay rate is very good. Sometimes managing part-time work along with academics might be a bit difficult but try to balance everything.

A supportive and enriching global learning experience.
Tips: Students should know that the university offers a supportive learning environment with strong academic resources, modern infrastructure and a wide range of student services. However, securing part-time work can take some time, and it's important to manage your finances and time wisely. Being proactive and open to new experiences will make the transition smoother. I received the vice-chancellor's 100% meritorious scholarship. I was awarded this based on my academic achievements and overall profile, which included leadership experience and community involvement. The scholarship covers full tuition fees.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching staff in my department are highly knowledgeable, supportive and committed to student success. They bring a strong academic background along with real-world industry experience, which adds depth to our learning. The faculty are very accessible and approachable. They respond over email, are available during consultation hours and open to scheduling one-on-one meetings when students need extra help or guidance. Many of them go beyond the classroom, offering career advice and academic support whenever needed.
Dislikes (Part time work): While there are a variety of opportunities available, especially in off-campus roles, on-campus positions can be limited and highly competitive. On-campus jobs may include roles like library assistants, research support, or student ambassadors, which offer valuable experience but are not always easy to secure. Off-campus, many students find flexible part-time roles in hospitality, retail or customer service. Balancing part-time work with academics is generally manageable, particularly if you plan your schedule well. The average hourly wage for part-time work typically ranges between AUD 24 to AUD 30, depending on the type of job and experience.

The university is diverse, has a great culture, and really puts students first.
Tips: Deakin University is a great place to study. I like that the university is diverse, has a great culture, and really puts students first. It has several campuses, but Burwood is the main one. It's a fun university with a very diverse and friendly student body.
Likes (Safety): Melbourne or other cities in Australia are super safe because of super friendly people, there is a strong sense of community, and it is a developed country, so services like police help or ambulance are very great and fast. Australia is also very clean.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I want permanent residence, or PR or citizenship of Australia because it is a very good country and very diverse in culture, with proper safety and also the work-life balance is great. Career growth is best in Australia, and you can also change careers very easily.

I feel truly loved, accepted and supported at Deakin.
Tips: Deakin University is a great place to grow both your soft skills and technical skills. While there has not been any major cultural shift, I have definitely become more open to people from different cultural backgrounds and work well with them as a team. International students typically receive a scholarship of about 10-15%, and the university also offers a vice chancellor's scholarship, which provides a full scholarship to students who have demonstrated extraordinary extracurricular participation in their previous schools.
Likes (Internships): The university has its own internship programs, which provide students with opportunities to work in a corporate setting while they are still in school. This is a great type of internship opportunity for students. Deakin also has collaborations with other companies, so when those companies have openings, Deakin students get an edge over other applicants.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on-campus part-time jobs are great, but they are not always easy to get into because of their limited availability. The average pay is 21 to 22 dollars per hour, but some jobs at fuel stations pay 35 to 40 Dollars per hour. It is difficult to do both work and study, but students can try to avoid scheduling conflicts by taking advantage of the university's flexible class schedule.
