Very few internship opportunities but great student life.
Tips: Before joining this university, make sure you understand that you are required to struggle as a student. Studying abroad is not for those who want things to be easy and are lazy. You will not only be required to study but also do your own chores and possibly more as well as work. Finding work in Australia, along with the visa restrictions, is going to be hard. I would recommend practising your English, and doing all your chores and maintaining an active lifestyle before coming to Australia. Making an appropriate resume and CV is also recommended. Also, remember your goals. You are here to study and create a life. Find a balance between having fun and studying.
Likes (Student Life): There are going to be a lot of events within the campus and meet-ups that will happen every week in order to keep you motivated and entertained. You might be able to make a lot of friends, depending on how social you are. The types of events vary from cultural to hobbies, depending on what you are looking for. Almost anything you can think about will have a club or community at the university. My personal favourite is going to be the Japanese club meet-ups. Being able to practice Japanese with native Japanese speakers was a great experience.
Dislikes (Internships): The university does have internship opportunities however, there are only a few opportunities that you will receive in your 1.5 or 2 years here. The opportunities also are a long shot and 90% of the time won't get you to even an interview due to lack of experience .

Amazing all-rounder university.
Tips: Just use the university and the facilities it provides to you. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone. There will definitely be a big cultural shift, but the important thing is not to be afraid and give yourself time to adjust to it. I am very satisfied with Australia. Being a big lover of sports, Australia has great sporting events, and the weather is great too. My course is very nice too, it's challenging but has the right amount of everything.
Likes (Student Life): There are lots of activities to do, clubs to join, events to attend, and great connections at the university. Different types of activities and clubs allow everyone to be exposed to a huge variety of people, interests, and experiences. I really enjoyed attending the events and meeting new people. Our university has all sorts of clubs: academic, social, sports, and more. There's something for everyone.
Dislikes (Internships): The university helps you with building your resume, cover letter, and with interviews, but that’s about it. Our university doesn’t have a lot of industry connections like UNISA. However, that will change after the merger. They do offer you a mentor program, and that is very handy.

The University of Adelaide will be created after the merger in 2026, so choose wisely.
Tips: Adelaide being a pretty small city doesn't have a lot of options when it comes to literally anything. It becomes very selective and limited. Make sure you realise that early and get prepared for it and don't keep your expectations too high when studying at a so-called prestigious university.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is pretty good with several events conducted by the international student support and lots of club activities happening throughout the year on campus. There are more than 50 different clubs for sports, culture and activities that you can sign up for.
Dislikes (Value for money): I rated a star on value for money as the total cost is around 70000 AUD after receiving a 30% scholarship which is simply not justified for the quality of teaching or the faculty. I have had personally the worst experience working on a research project with a supervisor who doesn't care a dime.

Good university and friendly atmosphere.
Tips: Students should be aware of the university and the place before coming here. If you have a scholarship, then it's great otherwise, for international students, it feels very expensive. If you add living expenses without having any part-time, then it becomes difficult to survive until you are getting from your own country. 
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Australia, particularly in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, is generally efficient, affordable, and well-connected. It's an important factor in shaping the experience of international students, especially for those who rely on it to commute to their universities and explore the city. There's an overview of the public transportation system, its affordability, convenience, and the connection between campuses and the rest of the city.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The experience of international students in Australia is a multifaceted journey shaped by numerous factors, including educational opportunities, cultural adaptation, and personal growth. For many, Australia is a top choice for higher education due to its globally recognised universities, vibrant student life, and diverse culture. However, challenges such as financial pressure, adjusting to a new environment, and navigating immigration policies also significantly impact this experience.

Big investment, but satisfactory return.
Tips: The University of Adelaide offers comprehensive support services to ensure a smooth and fulfilling academic experience. There are comprehensive and thorough guidance resources available throughout your student journey. There are also mental health counselling and support services available for international students, and these services include 24/7 helplines. Additionally, the university provides a streamlined scholarship application process, with awards being granted based on overall academic performance.
Likes (Safety): The University of Adelaide has a strong campus security presence, and it is welcoming to everyone. The campus also has easily accessible grievance and security offices. The city and campus are well lit with regular police and security patrols, so I feel safe walking alone, even at night in the suburbs.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work on campus is scarce, and off-campus jobs can be hard to find and manage. Most off-campus jobs only pay low hourly wages if you're under 20. If you're looking to cover your living expenses while studying, you may have to sacrifice some of your study time. It's doable, but it's going to be tough depending on your study load.
