4.4
Limited opportunities for freshers.
Tips: After getting your admission, start looking for houses online, join online communities related to your university, and ask all sorts of questions there. Be mentally prepared for the workload, which is quite high, and if not done on time, you can fall behind, resulting in unnecessary stress.
Likes (Student Life): Monash has honestly ticked pretty much every box for me when it comes to campus life. Like, whether you're looking at the sports setups, clubs, networking, or trying to find internships, they have it covered. The actual facilities here are incredible which honestly forces you to stay active since there’s always something going on. You've got the varsity setups under Team Monash, casual social leagues, plus all the regular student clubs—there are just a ton of options. Honestly, Clayton campus is basically its own mini-city, so you're always bumping into new people and building a network just by hanging out at the lounges or the Monash Sport complex. It gives you a really solid balance between grinding on your degree and actually having a life outside of classes.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies sponsor your visa, unless you are exceptional. Just like any other foreign country, it's always hard to get jobs, as it's super competitive. Usually, you will always be offered entry-level packages and titles unless you have prior experience.

Modern and professional university.
Tips: The cost of living in Melbourne is something students need to know before coming to Australia. It should also reference the importance of their course and how it could benefit them. Have a proper planning of what you will do. If you look only at the Australian job market, make sure it does not have limited opportunities.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is amazing. Many events for students in the university. Melbourne as a city is beautiful and lively. Students can be part of various clubs and student associations. For example, the Monash Student Association and Monash Graduate Association.
Dislikes (Internships): Internship opportunities in Australia are not a lot. Very limited options. Monash University does help in providing an internship but it's not guaranteed. Not all students get internships. Moreover, it's not easy to find an external internship.

A good university with good facilities.
Tips: The transition to university life was smooth; however, post-graduation options are limited. Australian universities are not like Indian universities, so make sure you have the mindset when enrolling. Make sure to attend orientation. This helped me a lot.
Likes (Indian Food): The food options here are great to be honest. There are many Indian hotels and restaurants too where you can have food but you can't get that Indian taste. The prices are not very affordable. Despite being a non-vegetarian country, there are many places for vegetarian people too. Well I mostly prefer to cook myself because it's cheap and also it's not healthy to eat outside daily.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are a few courses that give better chances of getting a PR in Australia. The remaining courses don't have that great a chance. The course I did doesn't have a great chance of getting a PR. Nevertheless if I get a proper career pathway to get PR, I'll be choosing that.

Studying in Monash seems hard but not impossible.
Tips: Adapting to the cultural difference was easy as I made connections with the Indian community as an international student. If you make connections with your community (there is a lot of the Indian Community), there would not be much of a difference between the culture in India and in Australia. And students do get scholarships based on their previous scores in 10th, 12th and PG studies, which can be availed during the time of admission. All in all, for me, the course did provide me with the necessary skillset I need to enter the workforce.
Likes (Safety): Monash Uni takes safety as a priority as there is on campus police who will always be on the lookout for students well being, and Monash also offers on call security where you can call the campus security if the student is in distress. Apart from campus security, the city police also offers great help when needed. In my experience, I have hardly faced any racism or unfriendly behaviour by the people of Victoria. I believe the university and the city as a whole are a safe place to live.
Dislikes (Internships): My course does not have an internship as a part of the curriculum. It is solely based on how good you are at finding an internship. Internships are often posted on job platforms and you as a Uni student need to find a suitable internship in your field of study.

A challenging yet rewarding academic experience at Monash.
Tips: Monash is academically intensive and needs good time management. The transition involved adapting to independent learning and a new culture. There are no scholarships right now. I availed a study grant of 10,000 AUD. I'm satisfied with Monash, my course and Australia.
