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.

UQ - a well rounded university with great faculty.
Tips: When you're transitioning from India's universities to Australia's, it takes time. Once you're settled in, though, it gets easy. You just get used to the things around you. Be smart. Be organised, have a rounded personality, and everything will be fine. For international students, you can use the IAS scholarships. The student fees are very expensive, but the quality of the education is great. The professors and the teaching staff are well-experienced, so they're really helpful. The assignments, while practically oriented, can be boring. The country and the universities have made me happy. Getting a part-time job will be tough initially, but networking is the key. It also helps to get to know more people. I took advantage of being in another country, and now I've mingled with people from all over the world who are in all kinds of courses. Don't stick to your friends from home or anyone who's Indian.

Yes, students can transfer credits from their previous institution to Uni Queensland. This allows students to not repeat similar courses as past studies, and helps reduce the overall programme duration.
Students can apply for credit or exemptions up to 2 weeks before the semester begins. UQ Australia
