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.

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.

There are plenty of student clubs and communities that you should join to build connections.
Tips: I didn't experience much of a culture shock but the way of life here is definitely different. Initially, it can feel a little overwhelming but the people are very warm and friendly which makes the adjustment easier. It also takes a little time to get used to the public transportation system and living independently but you'll get there with a bit of patience and persistence. In my opinion, if you don't have family or friends in the country, like I didn't it's a good idea to connect with people from your community. They are usually very supportive, understand the challenges you're facing and as a bonus you'll often find someone who speaks your mother tongue. I received a 50% scholarship from the university along with an OSHC grant which was one of the key factors that influenced my decision to choose this university. The QS ranking for my course in Australia was strong, which was a major reason why I had applied here in the first place. I absolutely love Melbourne it's a fantastic city for students.
Likes (Student Life): Based on the subjects you enrol in you will receive a timetable for each semester or term of study. If you are studying in a term, typically 6 weeks you usually take 2 subjects;if you are enrolled in a semester typically 12 weeks you generally take 4 subjects. In my course the core subjects were mostly scheduled in the evening, around 3 hours per class the electives were held in the morning, ranging from 1 to 2 hours depending on the syllabus. Apart from attending classes I also worked a part-time job with hours depending on my roster for the week. Saturday were usually reserved for trips or activities organised by the university. The remaining time was spent doing household chores meeting friends working on assignments and preparing for classes quizzes or exams. There are also plenty of student clubs and communities that you can join, based on your nationality interests or course of study. I was the president of a student association that organised activities mainly for international students. These included sightseeing trips, information nights student pantry initiatives and social events. There are other clubs that would interest the Indian community, such as the Bollywood club dance club and many others.
Dislikes (Part time work): I did not take up a job at the university but I know people who did and were quite happy with their experiences. I personally found a part-time job to support my cost of living. There are plenty of off-campus opportunities available however with the increasing number of international students securing a job has become more competitive. Balancing work and study is manageable you just have to be organised and adjust your working availability based on your study loads, assignment deadlines, class timings and exam schedule. When I first came to Australia international students were allowed to work unlimited hours. However, starting in 2023 the limit was changed to 48 hours per fortnight. Wages in Australia are generally fixed according to the industry and the skill required. I worked at a fast-food restaurant and earned minimum wage. There are other industries that offer higher hourly rates if you find a role that suits your skills and availability.

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.

La Trobe University has the best cultural events and the campus is very diverse.
Tips: It's not easy to move from one area to another. It's something that takes time, but when you get the hang of it, you find it can be really interesting. People face a lot of challenges as they go through life, but that's part of what makes the journey interesting and worth the hassle. I spend my days in college studying and attending classes. I like the library of the university, which has diverse books and departments for resources. There are a lot of multicultural clubs, which organize tons of activities for students to participate in. La Trobe University's faculty is very accessible. The quality of the teaching faculty is high, and on a national scale there is diversity among the teachers. The teachers are all very friendly and supportive, and eager to help students with anything they need.
