Hi Ram, If you want to defer or postpone your admission you should be asking it directly to the university since it’s their decision. Please email La Trobe about your situation and also enquire about any scholarship options if they have. You should also know that banks may take 7 to 20 days to process the loan, some may even approve it within 24 hours. Government banks will take time. You can check with Credila and Avanse education loan. For the rest of the query about deferred admission you have to seriously email the university without wasting further time.

My university is affordable, welcoming with many opportunities for international students.

Tips: The major shift that I experienced was the variation of study patterns and expectations of the teachers. It took me some time to delve into their way of study. I availed the Vice-chancellor 100% scholarship that is applied to the entire academic field of my course. I got that by submitting my resume and a video testimonial. Very satisfied with my overall experience here.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected with the public transport. There are several bus stop on the campus that takes you to the nearest train station or even the city and other locations as well. During the semester, free glider service is also run by the university that drops off at certain locations. Public transport is pretty affordable, costing around $10 for a day of travel.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of me getting a PR are low. Because the course that I've select does not fall in the PR course list and the campus location is not regional which makes it even more difficult to get the points required for PR. If given a chance and good job opportunities, I might consider getting a PR.

La trobe university is very good overall as compared to other universities in Melbourne.

Tips: I did not find any cultural shift and it feels like I am in my own country. I got 20% of scholarship and it's very helpful for me based on my previous grades and work experience. I was fully satisfied with the course structure of the university, and Melbourne City is lively. Australia is a good country to study.

Likes (Safety): Studying and enjoying both are essential for a student. There is a recreational activity every Tuesday which involves fun activities along with an educational theme. You can participate in these activities based on your own interest. There are a number of clubs presently running here at the university from technical to social groups.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Everyone is helpful and you will get support from teachers. Practical based learning and creative lab environment for the students. Library facilities are good and you will find numerous methods of study and relaxation. In short everything is good at la trobe university.
