Friendly and supportive faculty.

Tips: It's a fun and welcoming culture, and I'm very happy with my hostel. It's easy to make friends here because everyone is friendly. There is no discrimination towards any culture, and the teachers are helpful in both studies and personal life.

Empowering learning through practical insights and industry engagement.

Tips: There is a cultural shift, but you usually get used to it after a week or two. There are multiple scholarships you can apply for; just email them or check their website for options. I am pretty satisfied with my university; it is one of the good universities for a master's in marketing, and the professors are excellent.

Likes (Public transportation): There is a bus terminal at the university connecting all nearby railway stations and tram stops. A 12-hour shuttle service runs every 10 minutes from Reservoir Station to the university. There is also a glider service during dark hours, which is free when public transport is available.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The university has nothing to do with your ability to settle or immigrate; that all depends on the government. It all depends on what course you're in. If you're in a healthcare or trades course, you're more likely to be able to settle in the country permanently, but business courses don't tend to provide the same opportunities.

Peaceful but very hard to socialize.

Tips: There will be a lot of transition after entering this country. First, get at least two sets of sweaters that can resist 0-degree temperatures for Melbourne and Adlite. Second, homesickness will affect your mental health, try going out to meet people at different events in Melbourne. You can find a community like "Study Melbourne" and "Couch" for international students. Facebook Market and Gumtree are the best places to find short-term accommodation and furniture for lower prices. Scholarships depend on your merit scoring, your family background and activities related to sports. Most of the universities will offer 15% to 30% of scholarships for international students from India. This university is good for health-related courses and social work courses. Other courses do not have much value or impact on getting a job.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of job opportunities but you need to know someone who can refer you in getting the job in the first place. Direct application can take a lot of time, as people trust the person who is regular to work. Commitment is very important and be very clear in communication, don't hide your feelings at any cost. If you are losing a job that is fine, don't lose your mental pace, as you are on your own.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Australia has a lot of opportunities for non-IT jobs, as 5% chance that a person can get an IT job as a beginner. As this country plays well for an odd job compared to an IT professional, setting in this country for Indians can take up to four years. So, my suggestion is that people looking for jobs related to mechanics, carpenters, and mining can get their PR within 3 years if their ages range from 25 to 32.

Diversity and hassle free university.

Tips: I had transitioned after coming here. I was not good at cooking before, but now I can prepare a decent meal and have become independent in every aspect of life. The work-life balance here is good. There is no overtime work, and there is a minimum wage policy, unlike India and other countries. I got the LA Trobe scholarship for Excellence, which had a 25 % discount on tuition fees.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is good in general terms. Based on my experience, a student can have a quality time on campus. I spend time going to workshops often and watching recorded lectures off campus. There are a lot of student clubs and unions one could join based on their interest.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Finding post-study jobs is not as easy compared in the USA or Canada. There are a lot of constraints, like having good years of experience in the job, and being able to give a reference. Not many companies offer sponsor visas. If one gets the job, the salary packages generally range from 60000 - 120000 after graduation.

The teaching faculty is quite diverse. A majority of professors are from East Asian countries.

Tips: There was definitely a cultural shift. One of the biggest differences I notice is the level of independence expected from students. Here, no one really monitors whether you attend classes or submit assignments on time; it's completely up to you. This has pushed me to become more responsible and independent in managing my studies, part-time work, and everyday adult responsibilities. I received a 30% scholarship from La Trobe University based on my academic performance at my previous university in India. Generally, if your grades are above 70%, there's a good chance you'll qualify for a scholarship at many Australian universities. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. Australia is a great and relatively safe country for international students. While racism can be a concern in some countries, it's very rare here since most people are welcoming and supportive. The university is good so far, but if you have the budget, I would recommend aiming for one of the Group of Eight universities. They have more industry collaborations and higher chances of landing graduate roles, sometimes even before graduation.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty in our department is very approachable. Students can easily set up a meeting either online or in person simply by sending an email. The professors are generally open to discussions and willing to support students outside of class hours. While the overall teaching methodology may not be particularly unique, many faculty members are excellent in their specific areas. They often use analogies and real-life examples that make complex concepts easier to understand. This practical approach greatly enhances our learning experience. The teaching faculty is quite diverse. A majority of professors are from East Asian countries, with a few from Western countries, and only a small number are local. Most of them are highly knowledgeable in their subjects. However, in a few cases, understanding certain accents can be challenging, which occasionally affects clarity during lectures.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected to the rest of the city through multiple public transport options. Trams, trains, and buses are all available and frequently run, making it easy to travel to and from the campus without much hassle. Public transport is quite convenient and student-friendly. With a valid student concession card, the fares are discounted, which makes it more affordable. The Myki card system used in most parts of Victoria is simple to use and allows easy transfers between different modes of transport.
