Peaceful and comfortable learning environment.

Tips: The transition was easy for me since I’m comfortable speaking English. The people here are welcoming, and the student body is friendly. I received a post-graduate scholarship that covered about 30% of my tuition. It seemed to depend on the course I was applying for and my profile. I am mostly happy with the university, given the fact that Australia is facing a large number of migration issues, and the UOW has been affected by that. Some things are different from what they used to be two years ago. University of Wollongong is a peaceful, laid-back place to live and learn, especially if you're coming from a big city like Sydney. Wollongong is a regional area about an hour's drive from Sydney. This means that the student life there is much quieter than what you'd find at a city university. However, that doesn't mean that the student body doesn't have lots to do. The area has several restaurants, including Indian food, and other conveniences that make for a pleasant campus life. There are also many beaches nearby. If that's not enough, the UOW campus is full of friendly people to help keep you entertained.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are no on-campus placements in Australia. However, there are job events where potential employers come and present their companies. They also talk about opportunities and careers in different fields. There are internships, too. The only thing is that the competition is very high, and one might have to network just to get their foot in the door.

Experiencing one of the best college in Australia

Tips: Moving here was not a difficult task for me because of the helpful Indian community. Therefore, the cultural shift I experienced was not too vast. I did not get any scholarship but I am satisfied with my overall experience in this country.

Traditional job searches are not going to work here.

Tips: Before coming to study abroad in Australia, I didn’t realise that Australian universities don’t have placements or job fairs. I was shocked. Come here to study genuinely, and not to make money, since money will come later. All universities here are the same, but the Group of Eight (G8) universities are tied to companies, so students might have an easier time finding jobs; even then, it is usually a very small percentage of students. In Australia, it’s not about what you know, but who you know, so networking is very important, starting from day one. Lecturers don’t care if you understand; they just read slides and leave. It’s basically self-learning, and it’s the same anywhere in Australia. The job market here is really not great at all. It is very hard to get a job without some sort of work experience. I would highly recommend coming here with some work experience in India. But if you do come here with no experience, it is imperative to be outgoing and take every opportunity. Traditional job searches are not going to work here.

Likes (Public transportation): Wollongong has free public transportation to all the major areas. It also has trains that go to the city at a fairly good frequency. Free buses leave from the university every 10 minutes to all the main stops in the city, including the beaches, grocery stores, the shopping mall, and food stores.

Dislikes (Internships): Wollongong is a regional city, and you won’t be able to get internships here. The computer science and IT fields here are lacking; most companies will hire only citizens or permanent residents. But you'll have a better chance if you are applying for healthcare or mining.

One of the best college in Australia

Tips: The students should know first few months can be difficult. There is a cultural shift but you get used to the change and love to be here. Also, the students get scholarships of about 30% that reduce their fees and they will be able to pay your fees while studying by working hard.

A remarkable college experience: Strong infra, faculty and campus.

Tips: Students should research and understand the available academic, and faculty expertise. Also, the overall reputation of the college in their chosen field of study. Permanent settlement options are good so take that into consideration. Your course and college should align with your educational and career goals. Familiar yourself with campus facilities.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): I rated 5 out of 5 on permanent immigration/settlement options. Because the country and specifically the university campus in Wollongong offers attractive pathways and incentives for International students to pursue permanent settlement. One significant advantage would be one year of extra post-study work visa.

Dislikes (Internships): In terms of internship, I rated 4 out of 5 because the university provides a good amount of guidance and support to students seeking internships. The university recognizes the importance of practical experience and hands-on learning opportunities for students to enhance their skills and employability.
