A diverse and enriching experience.
Tips: I've transitioned a lot personally and professionally. I'm very happy with all the good and bad experiences in my personal and academic life. The university offers strong academic support, a diverse student community, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. I received a scholarship of 15%.
Likes (Student Life): It's multicultural and vibrant, offering opportunities to connect and grow beyond academics. There are many student clubs and communities to choose from, allowing you to align with or discover your interests. I was involved in the Culture Cafe, as I enjoyed meeting and getting to know people from diverse backgrounds.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food isn't authentic, and the variety is limited to a few places. I'm not used to eating out, so I prefer cooking for myself most of the time. However, I do buy food from outside for convenience, especially during exam time and the final week of university.

Culturally diverse and student-friendly.
Tips: This degree is ideal if you are into research and application. The classes are small and discussion-based, where you can share your opinion and earn extra credit by participating in discussions and research. Some of our classes even involved field trips and excursions, which were a lotta fun. The faculty is very supportive and encourages us to aim higher. I would say I am very satisfied so far.

Beautiful and significant campus.
Tips: UNSW functions in a very unique yet comprehensive manner, different from a lot of other colleges and universities. You will spend time engaging with the local council, lots of fieldwork and research, as well as spend time within the classroom. The campus is quite beautiful and spread out with lots of greenery as well.

Learning lessons and opportunities.
Tips: The first thing I noticed was how green and stunning the campus was, and how you're encouraged to do your own thing, in and out of the classrooms. The fellow students have been very helpful and my courses and centre in a very meaningful way that leaves us quite prepared for the job market, even though in reality things are quite messy.

The academic curriculum is rigorous, and you'll encounter many real-life cases.
Tips: If you're planning on applying for my major, be prepared to work on some very technical aspects of code, Linux, etc. The academic curriculum is rigorous. Lots of real-life cases to solve and apply concepts to. We have truly skilled academic mentors and counsellors who have been particularly helpful, and scholarships are possible if you apply on time and have decent work to show.
