Supportive and helpful faculty.
Tips: There is a lot of religious conflict and the people there are literally so narrow-minded. The course was very good. The faculty I got was great and loving. There are scholarships that are also provided to the students.
Likes (Student Life): College is very supportive towards students and everything that happens in college is with the student satisfaction and students' demands. They are events happening every month. And there are a lot of clubs and communities set up by the college. I think college is very supportive towards students.

Deakin was a game-changer.
Tips: If you have had some academic success in high school or undergrad, be sure to mention this in your application. I had scored 90%+ in class 12, which helped me avail a 20% scholarship for my course. There is no distinct cultural shift that I felt, given that you enter a buzzing multicultural society with plenty of fellow students from the Asian subcontinent. All in all, I was very satisfied with the way things went during my time at Deakin.
Dislikes (Internships): The university doesn’t help you with internships directly. Instead, it depends on how proactive the student is with respect to networking and finding potential opportunities. However, there are regular seminars that take place. If one can get out of their comfort zone and put themselves out there, there is no dearth of opportunities. I myself did 3 medium/ long-term internships during my time there.

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.

Brand new experience and good student life.
Tips: It was a brand new experience managing part time and studies. I got 25% scholarship. I was transferred here from Chitkara, so they got me one based on my grades. To be honest, I am around 70-80% satisfied and trying to make that 100%. My course is a good option if you plan to go for research ahead.
Likes (Indian Food): As an Indian, there are a lot of options and I never feel like there is something that I did not find when I wanted to have something. Sometimes I cook for myself and sometimes I go out with a couple of friends. But there are a lot of options and you will never have to feel like I can't have this or that.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Jobs are kind of a tough one, as Australia is one of the countries that gives you jobs based on your skills rather than your degree. So make sure to gain some relevant experience as an intern before going for an actual job. Packages are offered between 70,000-100,000 in my field.
