A Truly Global Learning Experience
Tips: Transition is easy if one moves consciously and does detailed research. Yes, I got a $10K scholarship. It's mostly based on your profile and experience, but there was one student who got a 50% scholarship as an underprivileged quota. The best country to come and study and migrate to if someone has long-term goals/plans.
Likes (Internships): Ample internship opportunities with world-leading organizations and career teams support building up a great network. The career team takes great initiative to conduct regular talks and events and invite alumni and leaders from leading companies to share experiences and conduct networking events.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Unless one picks another course to complete 2 years of study, since this is an 18-month course, one will not be eligible for a TR Visa. PR is point-based, or, if sponsored by an employer, the chances are 1 in thousands. It's one of the most difficult countries to get PR, so be mindful of that and do proper research.

My college offers a lot of career learnings.
Tips: You will experience homesickness initially and feel overwhelmed due to the sudden transition. But keep on doing, and slowly you will learn everything. People are quite supportive, but be aware of scammers in terms of renting, especially while booking from offshore.
Likes (Student Life): Student life here is full of ventures and enjoyment, but on the other hand, consistency and hard work are a must to sustain it, and one needs to study with focus. But balancing this all at the same time is quite fun. The university organizes a lot of educational and career events to help students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I went with this rating mostly because trying to get a PR here is turning into a massive headache with the immigration laws constantly shifting. Honestly, the requirements are getting tougher by the day. I’d say the whole situation is pretty up in the air, since it really comes down to whether you can actually score a job that sponsors you and if you even qualify for the right visa.

Life in the Land down Under
Tips: The only major cultural shock for me was the magnitude of the Asian crowd in my course. This is mainly because Sydney is the biggest hub, and my course was more quant-based, so predominantly Asian and Indian crowd—I received a 20% scholarship on my tuition fee. The campus is beautiful, and the Business School is world-class. The course is also good, but I would recommend keeping in touch with the university counselor to make the most of it.
Likes (Indian Food): Several general stores are available that sell desi food. Fresh dairy products, lentils, and packaged food are all available at a marked-up price. - Many Indian and Nepalese restaurants are in all the suburbs, which makes it easy to access Indian food. - I prefer cooking for myself since it's significantly cheaper and everything is available in stores.
Dislikes (Value for money): Living expenses in Sydney are very high (rent, groceries, public transportation). USYD is one of the most expensive in Australia already, and everyday costs add up big time—strive for higher scholarships, as many options are available. Since the campus is located towards the city center, looking for accommodation close by can be very heavy on the pockets—a very high volume of international students crowd, making it tougher to find rentals and jobs in the vicinity.

Great academics and lifestyle, but tough job market.
Tips: Students should come prepared for an academically rigorous environment and a highly competitive job market. The transition was smooth socially, but culturally, there is a shift in independence, self management and communication style. No scholarship in my case, so financial planning is very important. I would not suggest going there with debt, considering the volatile situations around the world currently. I am satisfied with the university's academic quality, exposure, and global perspective. Though job opportunities require effort and patience.
Likes (Safety): Sydney is, in general, a safe and student friendly place. Strong lawns, emergency help points, late night transport monitoring, safety apps and responsive local police. In my experience, people are cooperative and respectful, which makes daily life comfortable for students. Campus security is great, free access to third party tracking and security apps, cooperative police and local citizens gives a sense of assurance and comfort.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current market is difficult in Australia. The first preference is given to the citizens and permanent residents. Finding a company that gives you a job before TR adds an extra layer of complexity. There are opportunities, but they require persistence, networking and stronger skills.

A world class university in the middle of Sydney.
Tips: I have settled in quite well after reaching Sydney. Life has been good and I am comfortable. There were definitely some shifts when it comes to the lifestyle and culture but observation and adaptability helped me navigate through. I did receive one scholarship which is the Sydney India Scholars Scholarship. I applied for it through my educational agent, which was a waiver of 20 percent on the tuition fee. When it comes to the University, I feel it has everything which anyone would be after, but the course lacks a certain level of practicality and would be better if there was that thing included. Australia is an amazing place to be in and anyone would love it here.

Supportive learning environment with good opportunities but manage your expenses wisely.
Tips: Before joining the university students should know that the university academics are very fast paced. Students should be prepared for an independent and self driven learning environment. My transition was smooth overall, though there was an initial cultural shift in terms of communication and academic expectations.
Likes (Value for money): The course offers strong academic content and practical exposure and also access to useful learning resources. The teaching quality and industry relevant curriculum justify the tuition fee cost. Studying in Australia provides good global exposure and career opportunities.
Dislikes (Internships): Moderate amount of guidance through career services, students are largely expected to search and apply independently. The support is helpful but not hands on. Many available internships and casual work relevant to computer Science but competition is very high.
