You will have to find internships/jobs on your own.
Tips: Before joining Monash, it would be great if you had some idea of the unit beforehand, as when the semester starts you don't have much time to start a unit from scratch. Also, if you have done a unit in Bachelors you can exempt the unit. For scholarships you can get the international grant of AUD 10000. At Monash, you will have to find internships/jobs on your own, so networking is key. The university will arrange a few networking events, but other than that, you will have to find internships. So can use LinkedIn and other platform to find internships or network with professors or students, which sometimes helps to find internships.
Likes (Value for money): The course at Monash is well-designed to help you understand and implement what you learned in each unit. You can choose your unit as per your interests and also opt for any unit at any time, which gives you flexibility to complete your Masters.

The Monash Clayton campus is quite large and private and has numerous clubs and activities.
Tips: As a domestic Indian student who has grown up in Melbourne most of my life, I have loved transitioning to the work life and culture at Monash. It was initially difficult maintaining my college workload with holding a job and attending extra-curriculars, but after establishing a routine, this has become much easier. I have not accessed scholarships personally as I have government support as a domestic student, but would encourage international students to explore grant options to support your move to Melbourne. The campus culture around clubs, social activities and ensuring passion makes the transition more enjoyable. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): The Monash Clayton campus is quite large and private. Security patrol to prevent unruly or unsafe behaviour, and the isolated location of the campus reduces threat. Security cameras support feelings of safety as well. The Melbourne CBD is comparatively unsafe, but I personally have felt no problem walking around the city at night as a young female. There will always be people around and a network to access the police if necessary.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The Monash Clayton campus is located approximately 30 minutes away from the Melbourne CBD, via public transport. After taking a train from the city to Clayton, there is a shuttle bus available for direct transport between the train station and the Monash campus. Although this network is easy to navigate, struggles arise when organizing transport between your home in affordable regions and the nearest train station. The bus and tram network are slightly difficult to navigate at times, with frequent departure times and bus routes that may not be too close to your location.

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.

Try to find an accommodation before you land and make sure to work on your communication skills.
Tips: Students should know about their accommodation well in advance, also, communication skills matter. Moreover, if you are joining the college in Australia, you should know where you wanna live like near your university or you explore the city. It is much better to live near the campus because it is convenient for a student. The student life is very interesting, and it's a lot of fun. We're usually busy studying, but the assignments are important and help us learn a lot of new things. We even get to learn about different cultures, which is fascinating. The faculty is very cooperative and they're approachable in the department I'm in right now. Their teaching methods are interesting, too. They focus on each student and give them assignments that are competitive and help us learn more. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

Monash University has great academics and practical exposure to the curriculum.
Tips: Making friends and trusting people will be hard, as a lot of people are going through their own problems and not everyone here loves talking about them. One should learn to enjoy exploring in solitude. Will feel like too much stuff is happening at one time, but go with your pace.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I love how we have assignments on practical content and exams on both practical and theory, so it has a nice balance of what I'm studying. The faculty is easy to approach, and one can easily meet the Chief Examiner and tutors to ask questions. The faculty of Data Analysis is very diverse with the majority being Asian.
Dislikes (Value for money): I'm studying Bachelor of Business majoring in Data Analytics in Marketing, a unique major combination not easily found at other universities in Australia or India. I'm taking the same courses and using the same materials as master's students, but my assignments are less difficult. This allows me to complete my bachelor's degree without having to spend the time or money to earn a master's degree.

Overall I would say I have some major regrets that I wish I had considered before the move, however, I am still incredibly blessed and happy with my life here.
