Good college but expensive
Tips: Students must enrol themselves when e-mail arrives. We can select subjects of our choice. When there is enrollment we can visit University to look and understand everything. It is important to attend enrollment day so that we can understand all things like subjects, id etc.
Likes (Value for money): Free access to Wi-Fi, library, lifts and refreshments. Every week events are organised and they email in bout the events and mention the time and place. Events like noodles movie time are organised there is canteen from where we can enjoy free coffee.
Dislikes (Student Life): Very good staff. All learning material is available online on their site too. You must have a good laptop for assignments and online classes too because teachers have busy schedules so they put classes online. Students must install outlook app on their mobile so they can easily read any urgent email.

Very safe and friendly city.
Tips: Students should know that at some point, there will be a language barrier with lecturers. Money management is crucial. Communication and networking are a must for you to thrive here. I got a scholarship. The university doesn't offer much in terms of placement. I am satisfied with the university, course and country.
Likes (Student Life): It is amazing to be around like-minded people, as WSU is full of them. Also, you get to meet people from different countries and race that's also a good thing. WSU has a lot of clubs, and it is good to be part of clubs, as they provide you with free networking options, and you can be friends with people in many ways at many points.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work is definitely available, but it's quite seasonal and competitive. During speak period like holidays and trimester ends, it is a lot easier to get into them, but there are also times when hours get reduced, and roles become limited. And yes, I think that's a major problem with the job market here.
