Curtin will make you feel like home in a different country.

Tips: Be clear about what you want in your career and make the most of your student life. While in Perth, explore as much as possible and make friends. Follow Curtin public accounts to keep updated on what's going on university and be a part of everything in the university.

Likes (Public transportation): Curtin University have two main bus stands which are time stops, that means every bus will stop in these stands and wait until the time of departure mentioned on the website. We also have an app to track the bus location. Above mentioned is the public transport and also we have something like CABS which is a Curtin bus, it will connect all the areas of the university and surrounding suburbs every 15 minutes.

Dislikes (Part time work): The university will have programs like Work Integrated Learning (WIL), where you can land unpaid or paid internships. University Hub is a website that is a mini LinkedIn or seek for Curtin students to find part-time jobs, internal university jobs and internships. I rate 3 for part-time because most of the students don't know about these, even though so many events are organised for students and it is quite competitive as well.

Amazing experience, surrounded by great people coming from multi-cultural background.

Tips: My transition was initially very chaotic as I arrived a week late and missed orientation week, so I had to figure everything out myself. However, I received very good support from my university, where their student mentor team helped me settle down in Perth and on campus. Regarding scholarships, all international students receive a 25% scholarship on their first year's tuition fees at Curtin. Besides this scholarship, you can also check for need-based scholarships on the Curtin website. I am very well satisfied with my university and course, as there is more practical learning experience here than traditional pen-and-paper theory. The country has not disappointed me in any way, and I would highly recommend it to people who are willing to work hard.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Perth is great because on Sundays you get free rides on buses, ferries and trains. Also, there are special CAT buses that run internally in the city, which are free even during weekdays. Most of the suburbs are well connected with the buses and trains, but after 6 pm, the frequency gets reduced. There's a helpful app for Perth's public transport in which you can put your stop number and get the details of the schedule of the Next bus or train, as well as how much it would cost. This makes it easier to plan your trips.

Dislikes (Internships): All the other universities in Australia don't have a placement system, like Indian colleges. There are career fairs in universities that are held, but most of them are mostly networking events and do not give you actual jobs. Especially if you are an international student, unless you have a Course Weighted Average of 80% and above or higher and have completed at least two years for a Bachelors's degree and one year for Master's. Your chances of getting an internship through a university are next to impossible.

Not worth the money, look out for better options.

Tips: Curtin University is quite easygoing, and they provide scholarships to every student. The food is good, but expensive. You get a variety of options, including eating food from back home. Personally, I would prefer cooking my own food, which would also be healthy for both my health and finances, but it can be time-consuming for us international students. Which is better, though, really comes down to your own preference. As far as satisfaction, I'm satisfied with Australia, but I wouldn't say that about the course itself. It's not worth the money. It makes getting permanent residency unlikely, and it doesn't support internships.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You’re better off studying a diploma course than this master’s course because there’s a good chance that you won’t get permanent residency in Australia with this course. I’d suggest a diploma, which is more likely to lead to permanent residency in no time. That will not only save you lots of money, but it will also lead to a permanent residency opportunity, which will make your money go a lot further.

There are events on campus like mentorship programs, career fair and food festivals.

Tips: I have not experienced any cultural shift as I was not raised in India and I was raised abroad throughout my life. But, students may experience cultural shifts coming from India for sure. I'm currently not on any scholarships but I'm sure there are scholarships available. I'm very satisfied with my university experience and the country but I'm not really satisfied with the lecturers from the IT industry/computing department at this university. Although the cost of living is expensive, the quality of life is really great here and very comfortable. The infrastructure is great too and people are friendly here.

Likes (Student Life): I spend my day by walking up early and going to the gym, then going my classes, and then coming back and revising the notes from my classes, socializing with my friends. The lifestyle at university if great especially if you live on campus as everything would be nearby like for instances the gym, football fields, library, the bus stop etc. There are events that are organized on campus like mentorship programs, career fair, food festivals, hockey games, start of semester/end of semester parties and many more which are great opportunities to make new friends at the college. There are several student clubs and communities on campus. There are clubs related to what you study, religious clubs etc.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not many Indian restaurants in Perth. So, you will have a hard time eating outside if you want Indian food. In the locality, there are fast food restaurants, sports bars, and other restaurants with prices between 20-50 Australian dollars. Food is pretty expensive in Australia. I prefer cooking myself but I normally eat outside as I'm not very good at cooking.

A transformative and enriching experience at Curtin University.

Tips: Students should know that it is important to take advantage of the support services available on campus like academic counselling, career services, and student clubs. I availed the academic merit scholarship that gave 25% off my first-year tuition fee, which can be availed during your admission if you are eligible. The eligibility criteria is to secure more marks than the admission requirement. I am pretty satisfied with my experience. The university focuses on practical learning along with theoretical knowledge, this is something that provides valuable skills to grades.
