Deakin University has many opportunities and extensive student union programmes.
Tips: Deakin provides the Vice-Chancellor 100% meritorious scholarship which is a must-try for all those who want to study based on scholarship. Also, Deakin has multicultural aspects of education. So you will feel yourself as warm as in your home. Deakin Talent which is a co-allied organisation within Deakin allows students to have personalised job coaching, internship search and resume training. Deakin Legal Advocacy services are designed to safeguard the rights of students and also to assist with legal concerns. We also have peer mentor services and wonderful study guides. The faculty are extremely accessible and always available to help you out, solve your queries and support you. They conduct lectures, seminars and practicals so that students can get the best angle of understanding and the most surreal view of learning. The activities and interactions done during the teaching period are another great bonus that is a stepping stone towards building work-ready skills.
Likes (Internships): Deakin has numerous opportunities and an extensive student union programme. This allows us as students to exercise our full potential. The campus has all the facilities for students to learn and grow. We also have cultural events as well as sportive activities. We have clubs like the Deakin Debating Society, Deakin Badminton Society, Deakin Teddy Bear Hospital, Deakin Writers Club, Deakin Women's Exclusive, Deakin Social Club and a lot more ventures.

Deakin University has great environment and infrastructure.
Tips: I got a 20% scholarship based on my merit, which was a nice surprise. The faculty are very approachable, helpful, and understanding, and will guide you throughout your college experience. My advice to new students is to take your time, observe, and try to understand the cultural shift. Overall, I'm satisfied with my university in terms of infrastructure and environment.

Poor course, great university, great country, and networking is preferred over skills.
Tips: My Indian University hired a VISA consultant who did most of the application work and I prepared for my IELTS to transition here, taking the entire process about 5 months. The difference was too much availability of non-vegetarian food such as beef, pork, chicken, fish etc. which you might also have to deal with at part-time jobs and expensive vegetarian food if eating out. Further, the weather here is unpredictable as rain can downpour anytime. Cleaning standards are high here and dust does not fly off in the wind hence white clothes or shoes will not get dirty for days. Teachers and professors or even the elderly are called by their first names without any sir or mam. The culture is also difficult for Indian students as we are used to getting spoon-fed by our teachers while maintaining a standard of attendance, but here you can attend classes at your own pace and you are expected to have gone through the provided online material before attending any class. My scholarship is 25% which was the maximum allowed and is provided by almost all the universities in Australia easily and my course included getting a high credit grade to avail scholarship. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course due to the negligence of core unit selection. However, I'm satisfied with the country and the university that provides several services such as counselling, networking, sports events and other events.
Likes (Safety): The region that I live in Melbourne, Victoria is pretty safe and I can walk with headphones, using my smartphone in the middle of the night, without a care of being robbed, mugged or assaulted but there are always exceptions such as drunkards, hood people and more. To date, I have had no safety issues. To ensure safety, most of the area is covered with surveillance systems, cameras, traffic systems, reliable health care services expensive, or not have good health cover and trustworthy and unbiased people, mostly.
Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is scarce and off-campus jobs are average and mostly require prior experience, and references which can be anyone as long as they have an "Australian phone number" and several hours of standing and repetitive work. There is racism when getting a job and recruiters mostly prefer people from their own ethnicity, except Indians who try to exploit you in terms of pay rate as well as other ways. The part-time work is manageable as there is a strict maximum limit of working 48 hours a fortnight, hence, one can easily manage their academics, if capable. The average payout in Australia in Victoria for part-time is 24.1 AUD per hour and for casuals which is another job category, that includes you working, when there is a requirement, you have the control to reject plays 30.25 AUD per hour, which could be unreliable at times.

Wonderful college environment and life changing experience.
Tips: Coming to Australia and doing everything on your own will teach you essential life skills that will mould you into a person of character. Doing part-time jobs while managing assignment deadlines will test your time- mangled skills. Cooking healthy foods and avoiding the temptation to get takeout requires great self-control. On top of everything, you won't have your parents to tell you what to do, so self-discipline is the only thing that will take you places. All in all, it was a life-changing experience, and you should enjoy every minute of it.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I would definitely love to settle in Australia, and one key point to remember is that as long as you have a job related to your field, you will get PR 99% of the time. Some degrees provide you with the ability to find work quickly, while others do not. However, as long as you have a good understanding of your subjects and a good skill set, you will find jobs after some time, which will help lead to PR.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I would suggest that the best way to save money is to cook your own food. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Melbourne, and you can find a lot of vegetarian options on campus. There is also a nice Italian restaurant around the corner, and Subway and Domino's give student discounts to Deakin students.

Multidimensional, multicultural and engaging.
Tips: Students should be open to new opportunities. Networking is key to gaining success in your field. Scholarships depend on how well you've fared in your undergrad course. I received a 75% scholarship based on the same. I'm quite satisfied with the university, the course as well as the country.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): My chances are quite wide since many organisations in sports are on the lookout for fresh graduates and a pool of talent. Given a chance, I would surely permanently migrate here since Australia has a great sports industry and network of professionals.
Dislikes (Part time work): There were few part-time roles available on campus. The average payout used to be 20 Dollars per hour. Managing part-time work along with academics was easily manageable since the assignments were spread out and had plenty of resources available at libraries and online.

The transport facilities and too expensive.
Tips: The application process for admission into BA program required me first of all choose the course, containing university's overseas representative, understanding the entry requirements, gathering supported documents, certifying my documents and then submitting my application through Daikin's online portal.
Likes (Part time work): College study hours are flexible , there is not much syllabus to cover also , we can do it at our own. Teacher motivates students to do internships and become self dependent and to know about the work culture, we can learn many skills in our part time.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transports are extremely expensive, I have to use my bicycle to save money to go to the college. There is lot of rush on roads during the day time which leads to wastage of much time before reaching the college , even the drivers does not care that you are getting late they drive on the own will.

Deakin University is way good in terms of education as well as sports.
Tips: Students should know that they are going to a diverse university which opens up many opportunities for them in future as well. Moreover, the study here is so practical that teaches each thing briefly and such university opens up many opportunities in future.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Quality of faculty was excellent, there was no issue. Moreover, faculties have ample knowledge about their subjects and they clear doubts in just minutes without any hesitation. So it's a helpful thing for students to pursue their subject.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food options are low here and students suffer. Moreover, students enjoy having their food in home as compared to eating here. The main point is that the food is costly as well and is more focused on non veg food items like chicken which creates a problem.

Top 1% young university of the world.
Tips: Students will have the chance to connect with some of the brightest minds in the industry, creating an environment that's both inspiring and intellectually stimulating. Being surrounded by such talent allows you to learn from their experiences, gain new perspectives, and exchange ideas that can shape your career. The Geelong campus is situated in a beautiful regional area, offering a relaxed and scenic environment that's ideal for studying and unwinding. If you're looking for a balance between campus life and the city experience, Geelong provides excellent value for money compared to city campuses. While you get to enjoy the lower cost of living and close-knit community atmosphere, Melbourne is just a short commute away, giving you easy access to all the cultural and social perks of city life when you want it. This setup offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful, affordable study environment with a vibrant city scene within reach.
Likes (Public transportation): The Geelong campus is highly accessible, making it an affordable option, especially for students working part-time. With essential facilities and popular spots within a convenient 10-20 minute walking distance, you can easily get around without needing a car. Additionally, the university has a well-managed bus station on campus, providing reliable public transport options to make computing even easier and more budget-friendly. This setup not only helps students save on transportation costs but also offers flexibility for those balancing studies and part-time work.
