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.

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.
