Not too competitive, a laid-back environment that still allows you to compete on a global scale.
Tips: The cultural shock was massive, luckily I was smart enough to adapt and assimilate into the culture in a few months. Be prepared to not agree with everyone's views but still have the maturity to be cordial with them. I received the La Trobe Excellence Scholarship of amount 30% on my tuition fees. I was automatically considered for it due to my grades in High School. I am fairly satisfied with La Trobe and it has given me the opportunity to build a supportive community of students and staff that are constantly guiding me towards success.
Likes (Student Life): La Trobe's Bundoora campus is my favourite part. Tons of amazing study spots and great places to relax with some wildlife. Plenty of volunteering opportunities where I am highly active such as the Student Union food bank and the La Trobe Leaders' programme. The student clubs are high in number but fail to be active throughout the academic year, although they seem to be improving recently and offer more engagement.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Very low chances of permanent immigration directly as a benefit of my degree as it does not fall under the PR list category and I do not have a wish to settle here permanently anyway. I would possibly like to get a PR later in life because of the number of local Aussie and other international friends that I enjoy spending time with. Australia also has a nice laid-back attitude that is great for vacation.

Academically oriented university with excellent faculty.
Tips: Students should always check for the subjects of their interest that the university is providing or not. If one is hard working they they don't need to worry about jobs. There are internship opportunities available but you need to stand out from the crowd to get that. After reaching here and before coming, talk to senior students and connect with them as you will get plenty of information about the university. And networking is helpful later on.

Peaceful but very hard to socialize.
Tips: There will be a lot of transition after entering this country. First, get at least two sets of sweaters that can resist 0-degree temperatures for Melbourne and Adlite. Second, homesickness will affect your mental health, try going out to meet people at different events in Melbourne. You can find a community like "Study Melbourne" and "Couch" for international students. Facebook Market and Gumtree are the best places to find short-term accommodation and furniture for lower prices. Scholarships depend on your merit scoring, your family background and activities related to sports. Most of the universities will offer 15% to 30% of scholarships for international students from India. This university is good for health-related courses and social work courses. Other courses do not have much value or impact on getting a job.
Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of job opportunities but you need to know someone who can refer you in getting the job in the first place. Direct application can take a lot of time, as people trust the person who is regular to work. Commitment is very important and be very clear in communication, don't hide your feelings at any cost. If you are losing a job that is fine, don't lose your mental pace, as you are on your own.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Australia has a lot of opportunities for non-IT jobs, as 5% chance that a person can get an IT job as a beginner. As this country plays well for an odd job compared to an IT professional, setting in this country for Indians can take up to four years. So, my suggestion is that people looking for jobs related to mechanics, carpenters, and mining can get their PR within 3 years if their ages range from 25 to 32.

My university is affordable, welcoming with many opportunities for international students.
Tips: The major shift that I experienced was the variation of study patterns and expectations of the teachers. It took me some time to delve into their way of study. I availed the Vice-chancellor 100% scholarship that is applied to the entire academic field of my course. I got that by submitting my resume and a video testimonial. Very satisfied with my overall experience here.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected with the public transport. There are several bus stop on the campus that takes you to the nearest train station or even the city and other locations as well. During the semester, free glider service is also run by the university that drops off at certain locations. Public transport is pretty affordable, costing around $10 for a day of travel.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of me getting a PR are low. Because the course that I've select does not fall in the PR course list and the campus location is not regional which makes it even more difficult to get the points required for PR. If given a chance and good job opportunities, I might consider getting a PR.

Fun, freedom and a tough journey ahead. All countries are same when it comes to education.
Tips: There are many things to learn before coming to Melbourne. First priority should be fluency in English. You should also know what subjects and majors you are interested in. Be careful with your spending on studies and courses. A minimum of one-year prior experience is required before coming abroad. Driving skills are a must. A minimum of three years license is required to obtain an Australian driver's license. You cannot rely on public transportation every day. Scholarships are awarded 20-25%, based on previous academics, work experience, and English exam results. Remember, your main focus should be on your studies and not neglecting the rules to do heavy part-time and pay your college fees.
Likes (Indian Food): We have literally 5-10 Indian restaurants in the surroundings, so there's no problem when it comes to food and affordability. When it comes to grocery availability and affordability, it is good but you need to work on it before coming here. Learn cooking; it saves a lot of money. Time management is key. Be careful with the assignments you submit and timely communication and reaction are key.
Dislikes (Part time work): We have no part-time jobs on campus, and the wait period for a job is too long. However, we can find casual work outside of school. Australian law allows us to work up to 24 hours per week during the school year. The average pay for casual work is 25 Dollars per hour. If you get a casual job, you can earn at least 500-600 Dollars per week. The rest of your expenses can be covered with your savings.
