Learning, growing and loving the uni life.
Tips: Before joining, students should be prepared for being comfortable stepping out of their comfort zones. The people are actually very nice over here and love to have short talks. The cultural shift was noticeable - especially the independence and direct communication - but I adjusted over time. I received a 10,000 AUD partner scholarship, which was directly deducted from my one-year fee. Overall, I'm happy with my course, the university, and the experience here in Australia.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The V-Line services often experience disruptions, delays and planned works, which can be quite inconvenient. On weekends and public holidays, the frequency of trains tends to drop significantly, leading to long gaps between services. While the campus is connected to the city via train and bus.

It is a great college and international exposure is great.
Tips: Monash offers great academics and a diverse campus, but tuition and living costs are high. Adjusting was tough at first due to a new academic style and independent culture, but the diverse, friendly campus made it easier to settle. I did not get any scholarships.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of food options from my country of origin available around the Clayton area. Grocery stores and supermarkets also stock Indian items and ingredients. I often prefer cooking at home, but it's great to have affordable and authentic options when I want to have something great.
Dislikes (Value for money): It is very expensive to study at Monash University, and while the faculty members and teaching are good, I don't think that the extremely high tuition or around AU$ 200,000 is justified. The value does not match the investment as it places a very big burden on student and parents.

The university is a business rather than an educational institution.
Tips: The university prefers first-year students, and they get the most perks. They get to pick classes in the best buildings, whereas senior students get worse buildings with worse class times. The faculty are average, and they just teach us for the sake. International students are getting ripped off in terms of money and value, so try to attend every class so you can make your money's worth. The course should be improved and meet the industry's expectation. However, we do have many on-campus campaigns, activities and events that help us in building connections with other people.

A balanced journey, growth, challenges, and opportunities as an international student.
Tips: Student should know that while this college offers a wide range of opportunities, both academic and extra curricular requires self initiative, professors and staff are supportive, but you need to be protective about attending events seeking, help and building your network time management is key, especially if you're juggling studies with part-time work. Also, don't expect things to be handed to you. You will get the most out of the experience if you actively participate in what's happening on campus. The transition was challenging at first, especially as an international student, and there was definitely a cultural shift. People are more individualistic and open in how they communicate. The education system is also different, focusing more on independent learning, critical thinking, and research-based assignments. At the same time, their cultural diversity on campus helps me quickly. I made friends from different countries and which really helped open my mind and help me feel more included. I received the international student merit-based scholarship. The process involves submitting my academic transcript and personal statement during my application. It wasn't a full scholarship, but it offered a partial tuition fee, which was helpful in reducing final pressure. Overall, I am quite satisfied. My course industry offers flexibility in choosing electives. My university has resources like labs, care services, and academic support. Australia is a safe country and offers a good quality of life. While there are ups and downs, the experience has been worth it, especially in terms of personal growth and future opportunities.

Good facilities and teaching staff, but somewhat expensive.
Tips: Students should know that it won't be easy to study at this university. You will be in a new country and a new environment, and you'll have to do a lot of the work on your own, so it won't be easy at first. But once you get used to it, you'll do really well, and your life will change. You'll also learn to be more disciplined, which will help you a lot.
Likes (Safety): There are guards, security personnel and cameras that make you feel safe. The staff and people around you are also really good and easy to approach, and we have Monash Connect where we can go and talk about any problems with them, whether academic or even personal.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't enough vegetarian options available, especially for the morning 8 am classes. It makes it difficult for people who are vegetarians because it's difficult to cook their own meals every day. If there were some vegetarian choices, I think it would be really helpful.

Ambiguous, stressful, but worth it.
Tips: I recommend researching the course structure rather than focusing on university rankings. University rankings don't matter much for job prospects. Apply for international student grants when you apply. Try to stay in contact with professors. There's still a lot to learn online.
Likes (Safety): Highly secure, with numerous services available. There is 24/7 police patrolling, and a police station is located on campus. Emergency contacts are readily available, and cameras are installed throughout. A bus service is provided for students returning late at night, and security checks are conducted in all rooms and buildings.
Dislikes (Internships): For IT department masters, there is no internship support from the university. It's not part of our course requirement, no guidance is provided, and there is no preference for international students. Therefore, it is very difficult for people to secure one.
