Very calm, chilling and easy-going university which gets you academically ready.
Tips: When I joined I was culturally shocked as I saw all sorts of people from every diverse place, and fitting in was very easy as many people were just like me. There are scholarships but I personally didn't get one however people who did get roughly 2000 AUD each semester to help them with their university life. I am pretty satisfied, as I have many memories, enjoyed my course and got my degree.
Likes (Indian Food): You can find all sorts of cuisines locally Arab, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Italian etc. The cost is usually 25-30 AUD for one person. I prefer to cook at home as it is more affordable however sometimes I enjoy eating out as a treat.
Dislikes (Internships): There are some internship opportunities but due to the limited availability and high competitiveness I rated the internship opportunities as three stars. The available internships are related to my field of study like software developer or cyber security analyst positions but they are very limited. You will have to try a little harder.

A great experience and a vibrant student life.
Tips: The only thing I should let people know about studying abroad is to be prepared for cultural shocks and loneliness. I got a 20% international scholarship for my master's program. Not sure about upcoming scholarships. I am moderately satisfied with studying at this university.
Likes (Value for money): I think compared to all others, it is the best value for money. There are other universities providing the same courses with higher fees and without scholarships. I am not sure about the exact difference, but I can say that those who have a good academic background and want an easy study life. to go for it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I am a vegetarian and there are less options available for vegetarians. There are Indian restaurants available. They are mostly costly and far from the university. I prefer to cook the food by myself and I strictly follow a vegetarian diet.
