A smooth transition and a truly supportive study experience.
Tips: Students should know that Deakin offers a supportive environment, modern facilities and a strong academic structure but independent learning is essential. My transition was smooth, though I did experience a cultural shift in terms of lifestyle, communication style, and the level of personal responsibility expected. I did not receive a scholarship, as most of them are merit-based and competitive. I'm very satisfied with the university, my course, and Australia as a whole , the country is safe, diverse, and offers great opportunities for growth.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are mostly cafes, fast food, Asian places and a few Indian restaurants. Prices are usually $12-$18 for fast food, $20-$30 for casual dining and $30+ for nicer places. I like to cook my own food because eating out every day gets expensive and home-cooked food is way better.

A true university experience.
Tips: I think everyone should know that the university is academically strong, very supportive and highly practical in its teaching approach. However, there are no post study job opportunities provided by the university except on their portals, where they post the job listings but it is always out of vacancies. If you are strong and active, you will thrive.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty in my department is genuinely knowledgeable, experienced and supportive. They don't teach just from books and PPT, they bring in real life case studies and industry examples in every lecture. Time management is really important.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work is definitely available but it's quite seasonal and competitive. During peak period like holidays and trimester end, it is a lot easier to get into them but there are also times when hours get reduced and roles become limited.

Vibrant student life.
Tips: I was all good when I came here, didn't feel much of a cultural difference; it was fine to manage and be around. I am satisfied with the university and stuff. I did get a scholarship and it is an amazing scholarship to be with and start with at Deakin.
Likes (Student Life): It is amazing to be around like minded people as Deakin is full of them. Deakin has a lot of clubs alongside DUSA and it is good that you be part of clubs as they provide you free networking options and you can be friends with them in many ways at many points.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty can be better at many places, as there is still a lot of scope for them to be more proactive and teach what is actually meaningful. It is good to be around faculty and clear doubts as and when necessary as Deakin has amazing resources to get through.

Deakin:A place to belong
Tips: The thing is you'll find a lot of Indian students here. This will help you in the transition making it easier. A bit of cultural shift and I'm sure you guys will adapt. No scholarships.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is something which is really good. Buses every 10 minutes and you've trams as well. Connectivity shouldn't be an issue. One point to note is that travelling time might be higher in some cases. Eg: 10 km will take about an hr.
Dislikes (Part time work): As a student who is new, finding a part time job can be overwhelming especially not knowing where to start from. The only thing to remember is to reach out for referrals. Finding a job with referrals will make the job search 10 times easier.

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.

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.
