Challenging but rewarding.
Tips: Students should know that adapting to this college takes, especially due to the multicultural environment and different academic styles. Initially the transaction can feel challenging because of cultural differences and learning. The experience is enriching.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many restaurants offering Indian food at a reasonable price. The taste is close to home. With great quality and variety. I enjoy both eating outside and cooking. As all ingredients are easily available in the nearest Asian shop.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Most of the companies required employees who are citizens or have PR. It's not hard to find a job but the terms and conditions of the company are quite difficult to complete. Finding a visa is possible but getting the experience and visa rules is difficult.

Good opportunities and growth.
Tips: The transition was quite smooth. Macquarie has a very inclusive and diverse environment, and professors are approachable. The teaching style is more interactive compared to India with a lot of teamwork, case studies and class discussions. The cultural shift mainly comes from learning to be more independent and proactive, but you adjust quickly because everyone supportive. I got the basic scholarship of AUD 20000. It is given to all the Indian students.
Likes (Student Life): There are lots of places to chill, study and eat. I get to meet new people every day which helps me get to know about their culture. I have joined the table tennis club, squash club and Indian Society. Lots of events are organised in the university often.
Dislikes (Value for money): The curriculum of my course is very practical as they are teaching us all the software which are used in the corporate world. Guest lecture from different big companies comes often to share their experiences and also the faculty is very supportive.

Good college, but the curriculum needs improvement.
Tips: The lifestyle is much more relaxed and peaceful here compared to India. You can easily balance studies, sports and other interests if you want to. While I am moderately satisfied with my university and course I really enjoy living in Australia.
Likes (Safety): The university offers various facilities and programs both on-campus and online to support the mental health of its students. These initiatives ensure that every student feels safe and welcome. I've found that everyone I've met here is very friendly and welcoming.
Dislikes (Value for money): Personally I feel the syllabus could be improved. Given the tuition fees I believe we should be taught more relevant and valuable material. For the current syllabus it might be better to attend a more affordable university as skills are ultimately what matter in securing good employment.

Once in a lifetime experience.
Tips: It definitely was a bit difficult initially like the way everything was electronically like assignments, lectures and so on, but I received equal help from everyone at every step. This university made sure I was aware about this country and how everything works since most of us were international students who came to Australia for the first time. I received a 10,000 scholarship and every university has some scholarships that they let u know when u receive the confirmation letter. Lack of job opportunities but this country is fabulous.
Likes (Indian Food): There are ample of Indian restaurants, cafes and various small street food corners especially in Indian community localities. They are slightly expensive if u compare them with INR but it's better than nothing. Since I love cooking, I prefer home cooked meals. Only occasionally I visit restaurants.
Dislikes (Value for money): I feel it's slightly expensive compared to other university in different cities. A degree can open doors to better jobs and a potential higher salary, the actual success in securing these opportunities might not be fully realized by the University boards, making this investment feel less certain. If the university would have provided strong career support or direct industry connections, the financial investment may feel fully justified rather than partial.

Tips: Whether you are aiming for permanent residency (PR) or not it is important to select your course accordingly. There was a cultural shift but it helps you grow into a calmer composed and goal-focused individual. I received a scholarship of AUD 20,000 over two years.

The college is easy going, helpful, and welcoming.
Tips: Transition was a bit tough at the start. There was a cultural shift as well. I also got a scholarship from the university. The university is good at welcoming international students.
Dislikes (Internships): Currently, the internships are very limited and in limited sectors, specifically, it depends from university to university. To get internships, you must focus on the WAM (Weighted Average Mark), which should be at least 70 or more to get an internship.
