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.

A challenging yet rewarding academic experience at Monash.

Tips: Monash is academically intensive and needs good time management. The transition involved adapting to independent learning and a new culture. There are no scholarships right now. I availed a study grant of 10,000 AUD. I'm satisfied with Monash, my course and Australia.

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.

Pretty chill and lovely environment.

Tips: The transition took some time. The people in Australia are pretty casual. Some might come off as rude by being slightly mean to you/making fun of you but it's with good intentions. That's how everyone is. They talk good behind your back, though. I didn't get a scholarship as it wasn't available for anyone in my course at Monash. I'm pretty satisfied here with the university, my course and Australia.

Likes (Part time work): There are lots of jobs got students to do. I work at Woolworths and the pay is really well. There are jobs on campus but it's hard to get. Part time and studies are a little hard to manage, depending on the job you do. But perseverance is key to managing both. Average pay is around 26 an hour.

Dislikes (Public transportation): It's not the best as the frequency and schedule are sometimes bad. There is good connectivity, though. Wish there were more buses and trains that connect to more locations. The rates are sometimes expensive as well as the minimum rate is around 3 for buses and 5.5 for trains.

Good faculty and opportunities.

Tips: Jumping straight in after finishing my bachelor's was difficult but if you come with some industry experience it might help. I got a 25% scholarship due to my academic proficiency in my bachelor's. If you are an academically inclined person and want some fun along the way this is the best place.

Likes (Part time work): Lots of well paying opportunities in and around the campus. From technical part time roles to public facing roles, you'll find everything. When selecting subjects to study in a semester, you can easily select the slots of lectures that best suit you and align with your work schedule.

Dislikes (Safety): There are often instances of stabbing, armed robberies and racial discrimination against foreign students. Carrying some self-protection gear might help. There was once an instance where one of my friends was asked to empty his pockets and hand over everything at knifepoint.
