Vibrant and fun campus life.

Tips: The social life here is unique in that it’s like a circle of friends who are already familiar with each other. So it’s hard to make new friends. There are scholarships available, but they’re really competitive for international students. On the other hand the campus is very pretty and the university is great, so as long as you’re lucky you can make some great friends here. There are job opportunities available it can still be difficult to find work with the amount of competition. However, the university does have helpful services and websites to aid in the job search. All things considered it's still a pretty competitive market. I am satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Student Life): The University of Melbourne provides a vibrant, diverse and engaging campus environment. With around 200+ clubs, events, networking sessions, cultural events and many more students can easily find their communities.

My college is friendly, professors are just amazing and transportation is smooth,

Tips: I did experience a culture shift when I moved to Australia, but I was able to mitigate it by living off-campus with one of my professors. I was able to celebrate Indian festivals with them, which helped me feel more at home. I was not able to take advantage of any financial aid, so my parents took out a loan to pay for my education. I am satisfied with my experience because I was able to get a part-time job to help pay for my living expenses.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at Melbourne are astonishing, they are just excellent. There are also many Indian teachers teaching here who helped me a lot in finding part-time jobs. The teachers here are well educated, and their practical approach is evident in their teaching methods.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): We are facing difficulty since elections for permanent settlement as the newly elected government makes the process of immigration more difficult. No, I would like to come back to India after my studies as I wish to open my own clinic earlier and then an entire hospital for neuroscience.

Academic but not professional.

Tips: Try to get out of student accommodation as quickly as possible, move in with a friend, or find people on apps like flatmate finders etc. There are short term loan but not many scholarships You have to make a very active effort from the first year, I know it's easier said than done, but once you are settled in and please take your time settling in, that is very important; however once you are settled, start building a network, going to events and reaching out to people.

Likes (Safety): Pretty safe campus. They've got on-call security and other safety measures. Never felt unsafe on campus, but please use the services if you do, that's why they are there. It is an open campus, but in the heart of the city. Need to be more careful at night and around the main CBD but the campus is generally good. Beware of cults however.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies at the moment, and job roles for graduates are minimal unless you work your way up from first year, you can get a decent offer of 70,000. I'd suggest RMIT or Swinburne for professional opportunities; Unimelb doesn't have that infrastructure.
