Fun and hard work go hand in hand here.

Tips: There is a high amount of work load because of the assignments at this university. One needs to learn to manage their time mindfully and efficiently. All the assignments are time restricted and multiple submissions would be there at the same time from other units.

Likes (Student Life): Monash has the best multi cultural and diverse environment one can ask for. There are students from China, USA and India majorly at Monash, Caulfield. Being an Indian student, I have never faced any discrimination on the campus of any type which is amazing and also the on campus facilities and security are top notch.

Dislikes (Internships): Monash university doesn't help with finding internships or placements. So it is all on the student to find work or to get an internship. I would suggest one to socialize as much as possible and make good connections in the university so later on they might become a help while applying for jobs.
