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 best way to get a part-time job in Australia is through referrals.

Tips: There are some cultural shocks, like people here have a very balanced work culture, unlike India. It wasn't as hard to adapt as I thought it would be. I did secure a 25 percent discount on tuition fees. I got the scholarship because of a good CGPA score at college.

Likes (Safety): Melbourne is generally very safe. Emergency services always responded immediately when they were needed. There was one exception to my experience where my brother’s bike was stolen in a shopping centre in broad daylight. How safe an area is will depend on the specific location, but overall, I had no problem with safety while I was in Melbourne.

Dislikes (Part time work): Finding part-time work while studying in Australia is not easy, but it can be done. The best way to get a part-time job in Australia is through referrals, which are often better than any other method. While there are both on-campus and off-campus jobs, it's harder to secure an on-campus job compared to an off-campus one. If you're well-organised and focused, you should be able to manage part-time work while still studying. If you manage to get a part-time job, all work in Australia must follow the Minimum Wage scheme, so you'll be getting paid at least 23 AUD per hour, regardless of industry.

The university is culturally diverse and very welcoming to all people.

Tips: The university is culturally diverse and very welcoming to all people. You must attend all labs and lectures to gain better experience, and staying on campus is better as you get to participate in all the university events and make new friends. If you do not fail in any subject, you may avail yourself of the international student scholarship. The course is for those who have the ability and determination to dedicate time and effort into this for two years, as it can get challenging. The teaching faculty is very helpful and welcoming. The country is very beautiful and has a really good urban and rural side to it.

Likes (Safety): The university is located away from the city but still provides a lot of safety measures for students. Security is available 24/7, and the campus is under surveillance. Shuttle or glider rides are available for students who want to travel to the nearest train station after 6 p.m.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs are rare and may require a good weighted average mark to secure any placements within the university. Opportunities to teach are available if your professor notices your work, and salary packages may range from 60,000 to 90,000 AUD.

Academically oriented university with excellent faculty.

Tips: Students should always check for the subjects of their interest that the university is providing or not. If one is hard working they they don't need to worry about jobs. There are internship opportunities available but you need to stand out from the crowd to get that. After reaching here and before coming, talk to senior students and connect with them as you will get plenty of information about the university. And networking is helpful later on.

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.

Be prepared for everything and don’t think the university will support.

Tips: Students should know how to manage time. And students should try to fulfil the primary reason which is studies. If they come to a country for studies. They should concentrate on studies. Not about making money. Universities will offer a scholarship during the letter of offer period. I had a few issues with my university, which they failed to resolve on time and required follow-up even after I completed my course.

Likes (Indian Food): There are a lot of restaurants nearby and inside the campus. Usually, it will be 20 dollars per meal. Initially I cooked food myself. But in some circumstances, due to a busy schedule, I had to buy food to save time. Especially during assignment and exam times.

Dislikes (Internships): It’s hard to secure an internship unless you pay money to an agent to get you one. The university won’t help in this matter. My field of study is cybersecurity and it requires permanent residence or citizenship to secure an internship or job. My work experience from India is in IT. To secure a job in IT is hard at this moment.
