Fun, regional, and culturally diverse.
Tips: Will be really helpful with respect to PR as it contributes to regional points and good pricing with respect to the other universities while offering the same curriculum and good university life with lots of fun activities taking place. But I won't recommend it if it's a business or IT Degree.
Likes (Safety): The university has a good number of guards around 24/7 and also provides safety escorts anytime required by students, if they aren't feeling safe. Also there is a safety app provided by the university which can be used by the students any time if they feel uneasy.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Based on my course outcome and degree, I feel not on par with the industry requirements and the job market with respect to business and IT has been overwhelmingly competitive and reference plays an important role in finding or obtaining jobs. It's a really competitive market out there.

My uni was really good in terms of studies, faculty, courses, activities and campus engagements.
Tips: Take your studies seriously and don't change your mind for the course you've opted as it gives a false impression to the immigration department. It's very easy to get a scholarship here if you've scored well in the previous examinations.
I'm fully satisfied with the country, course and uni.
Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is really convenient as the university has two shuttle buses. One goes clockwise and the other goes anticlockwise. These two buses cover almost all the major parts of the city including the railway station, bus stops, shopping centres, hospitals and schools. These buses are used by all the students for daily commute to Uni which allows them to live and work on the outskirts without impacting their pocket.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is really hard to get permanent residency in Australia because of strict immigration policies which are getting even more strict and competitive every year. Factors are based on skilled occupation list, point system eligibility, language proficiency, work experience etc. This country is really beautiful to migrate to, but the chances are less to get residency.

A different reality- culture, fun and academics.
Tips: Nothing in particular, the people are quite friendly. I just recommend reviewing your course's curriculum properly before progressing.
Check if the course leads to a skill in the pr list, if that's a factor you consider. In general, you might have the nerves initially but life in uni isn't that challenging if you have your priorities set irrespective of what others say/do.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I found the faculty for Master of Marketing to be very friendly, approachable and I looked forward to their classes. I can say, they did push me to be creative, think out of the box and made it an enjoyable experience to interact with students from other nationalities, countries, neighbouring and others.

Beautiful campus and campus life.
Tips: This university I choose because it was in a suburban location and I had a scholarship for it as well for 30% Always look for scholarships most students get. The location is super beautiful University has a very huge campus. You can find new places to look around even after 2 years on campus university provides 100 of clubs and groups to join like minded people and volunteering work for different events On campus you have lots of job opportunities while studying as well like working in a village grocery store, university shop, university bar, fitness and more Uow have lots of other opportunities like running your own society and help you with career opportunities by helping you with your CV and career fair.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are really helpful in classrooms and beyond that. All our professors were available to meet offline or online. All you have to do is book an appointment online for your consultation. You can discuss about your subject queries or anything related to projects. We were having both online and offline classes. Usually, they provide you with some learning materials before the lecture and you are required to study to discuss about the same and practice questions or problems on it in the classroom. Or sometimes you have just tutorials once a week in class and lecture videos are provided online to study at your own pace. We usually had 2 assignments and a 50% final exam in the end. I was in the trimester system. Finance is more exam based.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I have just completed my degree and started applying for job positions in my field and I have recently started working in university finance department as a casual only also as per my study on visa processing I have understood that there is very limited scope for my field finance but its not that there is no option because I haven't really taken any consultation from anybody. I might not have complete information.

Wonderful university and with beautiful campus.
Tips: You can apply for scholarships and go for multiple subject options and can change them later as well. They have some dual degree options as well. This university is located at a beautiful place called Wollongong which is a suburb and gives you extra points and a year for visa also it's a wonderful campus. They have multiple societies, clubs and groups to join and volunteer activities. You can stay the whole day on campus and still find something new and interesting every day. It's very huge and beautiful. Loved the space and vibe. Wollongong is beautiful even more than Melbourne and Sydney.
Likes (Post study jobs): Job market is really good. It's just you need to look at the right place and have the right kind of skill set and be keen to apply for it. The university provides you with a career hub and lots of companies come and chat and help you explore options. Then you can get your CV reviewed and help in applying for jobs which was really of great help.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I have recently completed my degree in finance and started receiving some opportunities in this field as I had some previous experience and I also did some courses other than university here in Australia. This helped me a bit to get some opportunities. However I have realised there are very few finance related options for PR in Australia. I dont think so it's anyway a good idea to depend on a sponsorship visa because very few people do that and also I dont want to change to other jobs to just get a PR otherwise people move to other fields for PR pathways. I haven't really got my things assessed for PR pathways so I might not be the right person to state that.
