Australia University Review

Tips: When you are trying to explore multiple things at the same time, the processing becomes inefficient. As for a fresher who wants to be in Sydney, the university offers flexible courses and timings to the students, which can be expected to be around 10 hours a week. The remaining time is where you can explore more stuff. There are so many activities going on, food to be explored, and much more. The university is amazing, with all the facilities needed. It is really difficult to navigate sometimes.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is the most reliable, convenient, and trustworthy mode when considered too personal a vehicle. During peak hours, the connectivity is more efficient and is capped for weekly payments, which become budget-friendly. Relatively, it's the safest means as well.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): As we are aware of placements in India in every university, on the contrary, the Australian market works on individuality and self-assessment. This defines each to understand their career goals and choose jobs accordingly. Applying via various job portals, you can get into jobs.

The university is good, vivid and lively.

Tips: Students should know that there are no placements and will have to find a job on their own. Building connections and networking is key. Try to focus on study and balance part-time work with study. The university is ranked 200 something in the world ranking. It is a decent university, value for money and has a good infrastructure so I suggest you give it a try.

University is good but MBA Global course is a flop show.

Tips: Doing MBA Global from this university is not worth the money. As it won't provide you with any new opportunities in a different field. They also removed the international tour from the course after luring students into the course. Also in my class, there are 70 students. And about 66 are from India and Nepal and the rest are from China, Thailand and Sri Lanka. So no international exposure.

This college is alright. Amazing city!

Tips: It’s an amazing city. The campus is huge and the staff is very friendly and always willing to help. One thing that pinches me is that some courses are only for Australian residents which doesn’t seem fair. The libraries are legendary with the environment it provides for you to turn the study mode on.

Likes (Safety): I have rated high on safety because I’ve never felt unsafe. Also, when someone’s from Delhi, it’s very unlikely for them to find other places unsafe. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help. There are drunkards everywhere and this place has its fair share. Although brawls and fights are rare.

Dislikes (Public transportation): It’s a small city. Coming from Delhi where metros made our lives much easier, here, the buses are well connected but timings and high fares just don’t seem worth it. Plus, there are no concessions for students like in other parts of Australia. Otherwise, it’s okay.
