Master of Business Administration (Professional Practice) - Batch of 2024
3.7
A good quality education with affordable fees.
Tips: I have transitioned from a shy student to a great communicator. Darwin has a smaller Indian community compared to other states, which meant I didn't have the chance to celebrate all the festivals. I received a 30% scholarship from CDU, directly provided by the university. While I am not fully satisfied with my course due to the limited job opportunities in my field, I am fully satisfied with my choice of country.
Likes (Part time work): CDU offers limited on-campus part-time jobs, but there are many off-campus opportunities. While some students find it challenging to secure part-time work, it's manageable to balance a part-time job with studies. The average pay rate is around $28, varying by job type and position. Casual positions generally offer higher pay than regular part-time roles.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Darwin offers limited job opportunities for graduates compared to other states like Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide. While some administrative roles are available for graduates, the salary typically ranges around 65k.

A supportive and culturally rich learning experience.
Tips: Before joining, students should know that the college offers strong academic support, a diverse faculty and excellent campus life. Transitioning here was smooth. Though I did experience a positive cultural shift with more independence and diversity. I did not avail of any scholarships, but I am highly satisfied with my university course and studying in Australia.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The campus offers a vibrant and welcoming environment. I enjoy spending time, attending classes, studying with friends and participating in the cultural events and workshops. The campus hosts regular activities like festivals.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Faculty is highly knowledgeable, supportive and approachable. They use interactive teaching methods like real-world case studies, practical labs, and group discussions. The department also has faculty from diverse nationalities.

Charles Darwin University offers a well-rounded experience with strong academics.
Tips: The university offers a supportive and diverse environment, but students should be prepared for high living cost and a fast-paced academic system. I am highly satisfied with my course and life in Australia. Furthermore, I secured a merit scholarship upon applying for the course.
Likes (Part time work): As a student, your day is full of classes, study sessions, and socialising in the campus lunchroom or cafe. While there weren't any student clubs when I began, there are now established clubs with cultural societies and professional groups that foster engagement and growth.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The expertise, innovative teaching methods, and dedication to student success are noteworthy. Faculty maintain open communication during office hours, creating a supportive environment. Their unique methodology, incorporating problem-based learning and technology integration, enhances critical thinking and practical application skills.

Supportive, diverse, and career-focused learning experience.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a relaxed, multicultural environment and a tropical climate. I adapted well after a brief cultural adjustment and am satisfied with my course, university, and life in Australia, especially with the support from my scholarship.
Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are fairly accessible both on and off campus, offering flexible hours that accommodate academic schedules. The average pay ranges from AUD 25-30 per hour, providing effective support for living expenses. These jobs also offer significant support for covering living costs and gaining valuable local work experience, which is beneficial for future growth.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty at Charles Darwin University is knowledgeable and supportive, but consistency varies across units. Their practical teaching methods and cultural diversity enrich the learning experience and significantly enhance the overall academic experience.

I feel this university is good. Darwin campus is good and the faculty too.
Tips: I have experienced a cultural shift after moving here. I went to an event after my 1st semester. It was good, I met interesting people there also some good faculty members form different departments. I got scholarships with my PTE grade. I am satisfied with the University and with the course that I am pursuing.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty is good for students. And about the part-time jobs, they are less because of the student visa not many part-time jobs are here. It is manageable to do part-time work along with studies.

2.4
Decent college with Bay area advantage.
Tips: Before coming to this college, I suggest that you connect with alumni or current students. Talk to people who work on campus, are involved in clubs, or even those who are not active in such areas. This will give you a well-rounded perspective about the college. If you are coming for a STEM degree, you will find that most of the students are Indian. It is easy to make friends and find a community that feels familiar. Overall, the college is okay if your primary goal is to earn a degree. While it provides a solid foundation, everything else—like finding internships, jobs, and building a career—will depend on your own efforts.
Likes (Value for money): The coursework at this college is somewhat aligned with industry standards, but it could be improved. The college is just average, but its location in the Bay Area adds a lot of value by providing access to good networking and career opportunities.
Dislikes (Part time work): It's hard to get an on-campus job, especially if you don't live on campus. The process is slow and you have to be persistent to even have a chance. Even after all the effort, opportunities are limited. Off-campus options are better, but they heavily depend on networking and the number of applications you send out. The job market is competitive, and it feels like a numbers game. If you manage to get a job, balancing it with the academics is manageable. Most on-campus employers consider your class schedule before hiring you, and since classes are usually in the evening, it's easy to plan around them.

US student's life at a glance!
Tips: Students do feel the transition after coming here. There's totally different environment here in the US, students will undergo a cultural shift but here in California, it's good. Plenty of food options from India be it north Indian or south Indian you'll find a variety but It'll be a bit expensive so students mostly prefer to cook on their own. Before coming here at least learn the basics of cooking which will deal with your survival here. The course is good and detailed but don't expect that the university will do everything for you! You'll have to keep on constantly brushing up your skills while studying at the university. You'll find part time jobs here as well and will make ends meet. There is career advising centre but don't rely on it completely as it'll be the guiding light but you'll need to prove yourself at every step.

Decent college for people who radiate skills.
Tips: The university ranking doesn't matter. Your skills do and it's the same case everywhere you go. Competition has leveled up. Almost everyone is doing masters for easy money. College can only help you get some theoretical knowledge but in the end, practical knowledge is used in any company you need to earn it yourself.
Likes (Indian Food): I am from India, and here in California bay area we have plenty of options for Indian cuisine, everything, and anything. We get all kind of food from tandoori to chai, naan and malai kofta around places like fremont or milpitas or San Francisco. It's expensive though but once in a while is okay
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are plenty of options available to hunt for post study jobs but only if the student is very hardworking or smart working or knows how to get his way out of difficult situations alone. Everyone nowadays has kind of similar resume. So what makes you unique, that's all that matters.

A huge campus with every basic facility.
Tips: The university is stress free. It is decent for students opting in for scholarships, because I have seen students in undergraduate programmes studying here for free from India. Apply living on campus, it is a bit expensive but everything is included so it hardly makes any difference. You will make new friends from different countries around the World.
Likes (Value for money): Most affordable University in California. They also provide scholarships, so apply beforehand. Living on campus is a little bit expensive. Gas and groceries are expensive too. On the other hand, everything is included in tuition fees, i.e. gym, wellness center, library and high speed Wi-Fi.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is no Indian grocery store near by. You have to take two buses and Bart. Food delivery is very expensive and taste of Indian food is not up to the mark. If you are living off campus in the city, then you will find more Indian options, although it is far from the University.

My home away from home.
Tips: Being an Indian, you're going to experience a couple of culture shocks but you'll adjust eventually. The college is better than most colleges there and there's also a diverse population. The college can be confusing and feel odd at first especially compared to our Indian colleges.
Likes (Student Life): The student life there is much more unrestricted than compared to the dorms in India. This allowed me to experience a lot more than I would have here in India. The safety is better there as well so its easier for a female to stay out till late. There's also less judgment from people around there.
Dislikes (Value for money): Compared to the student fee in India, the fee here can be high. It often takes multiple years to pay a loan off, if one decides to take one. The cost of activities otherwise and purchasing your own items can be expensive as well. While the quality of life is better here, it is also expensive especially with the growing crowd.
