UQ - great university and faculty but dont expect jobs to be handed to you
Tips: It's a great university with great facilities, but universities in general abroad don't help much with placements for full-time or part-time jobs. That is up to students. But they provide resources. Would suggest to first decide you going to settle or to study, and then whatever is reason choose the right university or course relevant. For example, if you want to get PR, study a course that helps you get PR. Do research and also talk to alumni.
Likes (Public transportation): It is very good and economical. UQ is well connected. Buses and boats are available. It is quite affordable and has good service. UQ is well connected by buses and boats. It's a good system in Brisbane. Easy and convenient. Loved it. I enjoyed public transport.
Dislikes (Part time work): UQ doesn't help in getting part-time work, but the city does have part-time work opportunities. On-campus part-time jobs are limited and competitive. You can get outside the campus. It is possible to manage studies with part-time work, but I suggest getting used to studying first, as it's a new style of study. I would say don't work in the first semester. Average payout depends on what you work in. But some people can earn well by overworking, but then compromise on studies or enjoying university life, or doing important internships. Would suggest working as many hours as allowed, but don't overdo.

Very safe and secure campus.
Tips: Before coming they should know how to manage time, case opportunities and ask for help when needed, as the first few months would be really stressful. The excess number of facilities can be overwhelming; however previous research on facilities, cost, transportation and accommodation can help lessen the burden. I got an International High Achievers scholarship which roughly helped reduce the burden by 25%. I am satisfied with the growth as an individual however, comparing with other courses, I definitely feel that the lack of internship or real-life learning definitely hurt in the long-term.
Dislikes (Internships): There are very few opportunities for internships in this course; getting paid or unpaid internships is really hard. One can try for external internships; however, without proper past experience, it is really tough to get any. Due to visa limitations and future rights uncertainty, companies hesitate to choose students at first glance.

University of Queensland is great for people aiming to pursue research in there career.
Tips: The biggest cultural shift was the fact that people are more laid back and chill. I got an international high achievers scholarship for students with good academic records. It reduced my fees by about 10%. I'm very satisfied with the course since it's world-recognised and the university is ranked 1 in Australia in its field. Also, the research sector here is great.
Likes (Safety): Public transport is good and feels safe. People are nice, and I have never felt unsafe even when walking home late at night. I also work overnight shifts, so I often travel by car late at night, but I always feel safe. I don't have many bad experiences to recount.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are very few opportunities for new graduates in my field. Plus, there aren’t many companies in this city that even hire people with my background. It looks like the options I have are to be a research assistant, a quality assurance manager, or a research scientist. If I get hired, I could be making as little as 45,000 Australian dollars a year, or, if I’m lucky and experienced, as much as 91,000 Australian dollars a year.

The university of Queensland is very student-friendly and has lots of clubs and events.
Tips: The University of Queensland is mainly research-based, but it also teaches you to be industry-ready. There is a high achievers' scholarship available for Indian students, and a professional experience course that is basically an internship placement course that can really help you step into the industry. You should check to see if your course has it for better post-study placement options.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation is nearly free, which is the cheapest in Australia, but bus frequency and range are an issue. You might have to change multiple buses if you live in a cheaper location away from the city. I recommend staying near the campus, so you don’t miss out on campus activities.
Dislikes (Student Life): The campus is open 24 hours for students. We also have good libraries and tons of research materials. Also, the university is very beautiful. They have student activities, wellness sections, and free food. Multicultural events are organised, and there are over 200 clubs for students who enjoy different sports and ethnicities.

There are lots of events too, and they even celebrate Indian festivals.
Tips: I have had a great transition. I have become so self-independent. I try to do all my work by myself. I didn't experience a cultural shift as I found people like me. Their company never makes me feel like I am far away. I did not get any scholarship.
Likes (Student Life): I love spending time at the college; the campus is beautiful and the library is the best. There are lots of events too, and they even celebrate Indian festivals. I performed an Indian ghoomer, and I also volunteer. There are over 100 clubs there.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The restaurants around provide more Thai and Mexican food, with less Indian food to be found. Food costs at least $10. I prefer to cook my own food, as I love cooking, and I can get Indian groceries easily. It saves me money and gives me the taste of India, so I don't have to adjust to new cuisine.

An academically focused university with a fun campus life.
Tips: There are multiple scholarships that can best suit you if you are looking for one. Keep an eye out for the right one for you. The bit that was challenging was food. You get Indian options here, though not every place is as nice as home. You need to keep pace with it and make your own stuff. The university campus life is great. We have many activities and events on campus. We also have student bodies that look after those events.
Likes (Safety): UQ has a dedicated service for campus security that runs safety buses around the campus. They also offer a chauffeur in case you need someone to walk you to a place where the safety bus does not go. On-campus accommodation is fully secure, and so is the library.
Dislikes (Internships): The help available is limited to how the application goes, but it doesn't assist in securing one. My field of study is currently experiencing a setback, and is mostly selective hiring from the current employee network only. The number of graduates far exceeds the number of jobs.

A few unofficial sources cite that the University of Queensland acceptance rate is around 40%. This means that this university is selective at the time of admission. So Indian students must have a good academic score.
