Highly competitive and limited opportunities.
Tips: Undeniably, there is a bit of a cultural shock felt at first in terms of how people interact and socialise over here understanding different accents and settling in at your first job/university. Talking to a lot of different people from diverse cultures and backgrounds greatly helps. This place will force you to come out of your comfort zone as you'll have to make an effort to get anything done. I was not offered any scholarship as there is None available for students in our course however Monash does offer a grant to international students in some cases which is limited.
Likes (Safety): Apart from the campus security, the area is highly under surveillance by the Victorian State police through security personnel and cameras. There are also a few applications available on mobile where international students can report any problems they might have faced. I haven't personally had any bad experiences yet but it is generally advised to avoid any contact with junkies in public areas as they can be really unpredictable and can cause harm.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs available on campus are limited and highly competitive requiring some prior work experience in the role. Most students will be better off finding jobs outside of the university related to their fields of study which takes a few months and lots of patience. Given that you provide your availability to your employers in advance, they can be really flexible in terms of assigning you shifts which makes working part-time with the university really manageable along with all the associated expenses. When starting out most-part times can't expect to make anything over the minimum legal wage as there is a huge influx of job seekers who are mostly international students.

Getting a full time job is very challenging.
Tips: The only thing I would say is, getting a full time job is very challenging here in Australia. They don’t even post jobs properly and only referrals work. And they have an excuse to not hire international students, which is “Australian work experience”; if you don’t have it, you will struggle to find a job. Also recently, there have been several attacks on Indian students for no reason. So, it's not very safe either.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation here in Australia is good. Buses and trains are available and run frequently. So travelling won't be an issue. For buses, you might have to pay AUD 3 for each trip. For trains, in a similar range. So, it's not extremely expensive but not very cheap either.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): What I know is last 2 years have been incredibly bad for graduates in Australia in general, regardless of university. There is also no great support from the university. Although this can be said for the majority of the countries. But in Australia, it is very tough to get a full time job as an international student.

Pretty chill and lovely environment.
Tips: The transition took some time. The people in Australia are pretty casual. Some might come off as rude by being slightly mean to you/making fun of you but it's with good intentions. That's how everyone is. They talk good behind your back, though. I didn't get a scholarship as it wasn't available for anyone in my course at Monash. I'm pretty satisfied here with the university, my course and Australia.
Likes (Part time work): There are lots of jobs got students to do. I work at Woolworths and the pay is really well. There are jobs on campus but it's hard to get. Part time and studies are a little hard to manage, depending on the job you do. But perseverance is key to managing both. Average pay is around 26 an hour.
Dislikes (Public transportation): It's not the best as the frequency and schedule are sometimes bad. There is good connectivity, though. Wish there were more buses and trains that connect to more locations. The rates are sometimes expensive as well as the minimum rate is around 3 for buses and 5.5 for trains.

Good faculty and opportunities.
Tips: Jumping straight in after finishing my bachelor's was difficult but if you come with some industry experience it might help. I got a 25% scholarship due to my academic proficiency in my bachelor's. If you are an academically inclined person and want some fun along the way this is the best place.
Likes (Part time work): Lots of well paying opportunities in and around the campus. From technical part time roles to public facing roles, you'll find everything. When selecting subjects to study in a semester, you can easily select the slots of lectures that best suit you and align with your work schedule.
Dislikes (Safety): There are often instances of stabbing, armed robberies and racial discrimination against foreign students. Carrying some self-protection gear might help. There was once an instance where one of my friends was asked to empty his pockets and hand over everything at knifepoint.

A truly rewarding and holistic international experience.
Tips: The course is demanding as in it demands time and genuine effort. Especially in units like Statistics and Machine Learning. Those are the toughest units. It is easier if you prepare before each class and start working on the assignments on time. Unlike colleges in India, you need to put in a lot of self studying hours to understand concepts. Your professors and tutors are there to help you with questions and doubts. But at the end of the day it feels good because you know you put in effort and it worked out and you genuinely learned something. I enrolled through IDP so I got a small scholarship of 10000 AUD. Monash as a university is very exciting. There is always some fun event going on which is open for all.
Likes (Indian Food): Clayton is full of Indian and Asian restaurants. You would never miss Indian food. Plus there are numerous options. Even in the city, there are multiple options to try different cuisines. Everything is available. There are numerous Indian stores in Clayton for Indian groceries as well.
Dislikes (Internships): There is some competition as opportunities are less but its still possible to land internships. The university has career services in Monash Connect. You can book appointments and consult with them regarding how to approach the job market. But Monash itself focuses a lot on research, so if you network well, it can lead to internships within the university. Various clubs organise networking events for students and there are private organisations in the city who organise networking events too.
