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 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.

University of Wollongong is good.

Tips: For me, finding a room to rent in the early 2021 was very stressful, there were literally no empty rooms to rent at that time and I was traveling to university from Sydney which was very hectic. So if you don't have any contacts or relatives here at Wollongong, just book University accommodation if you can afford it.

Likes (Safety): People here are very welcoming and friendly. Although very rare, coming across drunks while waiting for the public transportation in the evenings was not a pleasant experience for me. I need to point it out that in my stay of over five months here, this happened only once.

Dislikes (Part time work): Landing the first part-time job is a bit difficult, even more so if you don't have any experience in the given industry (hospitality or any other). But being persistent and applying for jobs and not missing any opportunities will eventually help in getting one. On a different note, if you haven't already had your driving license, get it done before moving here, it will come in handy at times.

Wollongong is a beautiful regional city with beaches, nature, and great lifestyle benefits.

Tips: Living in a regional area has its advantages, especially when it comes to immigration benefits, but for students and professionals in Computer Science or IT, it can also present certain challenges. One of the main issues is the limited number of job opportunities compared to metropolitan cities like Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane. These larger cities are home to major tech companies, startups, and innovation hubs, providing a more dynamic environment for CS/IT professionals to grow and network. In contrast, regional areas typically have fewer IT firms, and the available roles may be more generalist or focused on support rather than development, data Science, or AI-related work. The job market in these areas is smaller, and competition can be high for a limited number of positions. This can make it difficult for fresh graduates to find suitable jobs that align with their specialisation and career goals. Furthermore, networking events, teach meetups, and workshops are not as frequent in regional areas, which can hinder professional development. Many students and professionals in IT rely on such events to stay updated with industry trends and connect with potential employers. However, it's also worth noting that remote work opportunities are growing, and some companies are open to hiring skilled professionals regardless of location. Building a strong portfolio, gaining remote internships, and upskilling online can help bridge the gap. While regional areas offer great lifestyle and immigration perks, CS/IT students need to be proactive in seeking out career-building opportunities.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Living and studying in a regional area definitely provides significant benefits for immigration to Australia. The Australian government actively encourages migrants to move to regional areas by offering various incentives. One of the major advantages is that applicants who live, work, or study in a designated regional area can earn additional points towards their points-tested visa applications, such as the Skilled Independent or Skilled Nominated visas. These extra points can make a huge difference in securing an invitation to apply for permanent residence. Furthermore, regional areas often have access to specific visa pathways, like the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) and the Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa (subclass 191). These visa options are designed to attract skilled workers to regional communities, helping to balance population growth across Australia. Studying in a regional area also makes international students eligible for an additional one or two years of post-study work rights compared to those studying in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane. This extended time can be crucial for gaining valuable work experience in Australia, which further strengthens future visa applications. Regional living also tends to offer a more affordable and relaxed lifestyle, which many find appealing. Smaller communities often have a strong support network, making it easier to settle and integrate.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): One of the biggest challenges many people face when entering the workforce is the requirement of prior experience to get a job. This situation creates a difficult cycle: you need experience to get hired, but you need a job to gain experience. For many fresh graduates and those looking to switch careers, this can be extremely frustrating. Employers often prefer candidates who already have practical knowledge and a proven track record, making it harder for newcomers to even get their foot in the door. Internships, volunteering, and part-time work have become essential ways to gain initial experience. Many people invest time in unpaid or low-paid roles just to build their resumes and demonstrate their skills to future employers. However, not everyone has the luxury to work for free, and this can create inequality in the job market. Another approach is to work on personal projects, take relevant certifications, or complete online courses to show initiative and competencies. Building a strong portfolio, especially in fields like IT, design, or writing, can sometimes substitute for formal work experience. Ultimately, the requirement for prior experience can delay people's career starts and make the job market more competitive. Companies that offer entry-level positions with proper training programs tend to attract more loyal employees and benefit from fresh perspectives. Industries need to recognise potential, not just past job history, and create opportunities for new talent to enter the workforce confidently and fair.
