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.

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 leading to long gaps between services. 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.

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.

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.

The tuition is unnecessarily high due of its brand value.
Tips: Though it has a brand value, it doesn't mean that you will get a full-time job. You will get the same preference as any tier-2 college student. It doesn't provide a lot of scholarships, so be ready to pay a huge amount of money. I am personally happy with the brand I am studying in, but somewhere it could have done better.
Likes (Safety): The campus has a very good security. Monash vans help us to reach our destination. The guards will always make sure the student is genuine and will always check id cars. The guards are there 24/7 so there is no need to worry. You can easily sit on-campus anytime and study.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think the university is charging a lot of fees even if it's not required. I guess they are just charging because they have a brand value. The teaching faculty can do much better. Half of the assignments and stuff are understood and done by us. So there is no point in charging so much.
