The education is good, but support after graduations is limited.
Tips: The transition to university life was smooth; however, post-grad 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 (Quality of faculty): The education level, the content, and the discussion were all good. Everyone is open to each other's POV. Additionally, we had lots of guest lectures, field trips, and practical lessons. Perhaps the only complaint that I have is the assignments. They were all subjective.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The University of Melbourne does not provide any career support for grades. Usually, companies like KPMG and EY will usually offer a package of 75,000. It might depend on a different major. I would say, start early and make sure to job hunt. Plus, networking is gold.

Intense academic environment.
Tips: This college is not like back in India, the studies are way more intense you need to focus week on week to get good grades and if you fail here, you can't give supplementary exams, you'll have to end up extending your degree because you have to retake the subject.
Likes (Public transportation): Every place you can imagine, there will be a bus or a tram line available throughout Victoria. I personally travel 2-3 hrs or a few done shots and the transportation lies are just amazing. They are a bit expensive in Victoria but as a student you will get a concession.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The permanent residence in this country purely depends on which degree and major you're pursuing. Personally I'm a Comp Science major and I would need college + 3 years of experience + IELTS bands to compete for the overall point system and we get to work only for 2 years. So unless you get a work sponsorship or you also do your Masters / Ph.D. here it's harder to get PR.

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.

Aesthetic, knowledgeable, vast exposure and growth.
Tips: A few might have a cultural shift and a few might not. But all students are friendly and helpful. A lot of my friends got a scholarship. The university automatically detects one. But there are other scholarships that one can check tin he university handbook and apply for.
Likes (Safety): There are student houses with staff and security. Out in the city is not in the hands on university. But it would always support various problems, has multiple clubs and associations. I would suggest not going out super late in the city, the rest is amazing. Great food places to visit. Though it is more Chinese populated, one can easily get through it.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is friendly and approachable but tends to be busy most of the time. Depending on the subjects. It’s good that we have a lot of assignments and times conferences and presentations too. It is highly diverse and cheerful. I personally came across a lot of different national professors and instructors.

Connect with alumni on LinkedIn and get to know the industry.
Tips: I have been here for 2 years and I have never felt unsafe. The people here don't do anything to make you feel comfortable or unsafe. I have gone out at night as well and nothing happened here. The people here are good and respectful, mostly they mind their own business. Be sure of the course you're taking and research properly about the job opportunities once you graduate. Connect with alumni on LinkedIn and get to know the industry so that you're not wasting your money. The teaching pattern is different here, mostly hands-on. You learn and then you apply all those things in the assignments given to you.
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.
