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.

A supportive and opportunity filled university experience.
Tips: Be proactive and manage your time well. You get a lot of freedom, and success depends on how you use it. It was challenging due to independent learning, but the diverse environment made it easier to adapt. I got a merit based scholarship with partial tuition fee education. I am very satisfied with the course quality and academics.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are millions of events going on throughout the semester, from networking events to events just for fun and playing games. It truly fosters a vibrant life and things are quite easy going here. The student life is very inclusive and inclusivity is very easy considering you are getting involved in all the possible events.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Most of the faculty members are heavily experienced and are extremely qualified. They are well aware of the current world scenario and tutors are also solid and have amazing conceptual clarity. Lecture class sizes are big but if someone is active, personal guidance can also be provided.

University of Sydney is very academically oriented university.
Tips: Before joining University of Sydney, students should expect rigorous academics, independence and high living costs. Transition after coming here was smooth and the culture here is pretty laid back. There are certain competitive scholarships available that cover full tuition. I'm satisfied with my experience.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well connected especially in the main city. You can find buses every other street and trains in almost every suburbs which makes it very easy to navigate throughout the city. Public transport fares are also good.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are usually difficult to find especially ones that are actually related to your academic coursework and professional goals. Some internships, when available, can be very competitive. Guidance is available but it is limited.

Great beginnings and a promising future.
Tips: If there is one thing incoming students should know, it is that they shouldn't worry too much about a 'culture shock'. My transition here was surprisingly smooth because there are so many students from similar cultural backgrounds. The community is diverse and welcoming so you will likely find your footing very quickly. Regarding scholarships, I received a 20% scholarship on my tuition fees, which is actually something most international students here are eligible for. Reflection on my first year coming to a close, I am genuinely satisfied with my decision to choose the university and course. Everything has met or exceeded my expectations.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Though the public transportation within the city is great and is well connected, including trams, buses, trains and a metro. The public transport is more expensive (adult card) for international students than domestic as the concession card (cheaper travel card for students) for public transport only applies to full time tertiary students and Australian citizens or permanent residents. The transport is convenient and kept clean.

The acceptance rate for MBA specifically is not released by the University of Sydney. An unofficial source cites that the MBA acceptance rate at USyd is around 30%.
This makes the MBA admissions at the University of Sydney for Indian students veey selective.
