Great university with supportive faculty.
Tips: Before coming to Macquarie University, it's helpful to know the structure of the university and the cultural shifts that you'll encounter. Shops usually close at 6 pm and cafes at 2 pm. However, there is a lot of good vegetarian food available. The faculty are supportive and will help us with our assignments. I'm super satisfied with my course and unit learning as they are more practical-based.

Good university for quality education.
Tips: Finding a job after graduation is not as easy as it seems. You have to manage everything yourself, which can be overwhelming. You also need to make contacts while you're studying to get a job. On the plus side, the faculty is great and very approachable. There are also lots of events and seminars held on campus, so be sure to participate in them. Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of education at my university.

The campus is great and the pond with a fountain in the center is a panoramic view.
Tips: It took some sort of time to adjust to Australia's education system because it's very different from India. We daily had fixed lectures from 7 am to 2 pm. But here you can set your own timetable according to your feasibility and you have to do self-study before attending the workshops of your unit. As an Indian international student, I got 20000 AUD scholarships. I'm very much satisfied with Macquarie University and the course I'm learning.
Likes (Safety): CCTV cameras are installed throughout the campus. Plus the security team patrols the whole university. Till now I didn't have any bad experiences. The nightlife isn't that great in Sydney. Everybody is at home by 7 pm and everything shut off by 9 pm. You can't see anyone after that time. But it's a part of the routine now, so it doesn't matter.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Transportation to Macquarie University is pretty much sorted. It has its own metro station and is a 10-minute walk from the main campus building. Bus connectivity is the same. Overall affordability is average because the transportation fare in Sydney is extremely high compared to Melbourne. No doubt the services are good but it shouldn't be that costly for students.

It was a good choice to choose Australia.
Tips: The only thing that I faced was that I couldn't eat proper Indian food, and ordering in was quite expensive. I got a 20,000 scholarship from the university. IDP applied for my scholarship. I am pretty satisfied with my course even though it is difficult to get pr. I think If you study hard enough you can get decent jobs here.
Likes (Safety): Sydney is very safe that is what I have experienced. You can travel late. Most of the places have security cameras which adds to the security. There are helplines and regular activities that can help international students who are feeling a little depressed about staying away from home like a free counselling session.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of getting pr are quite difficult in Australia, as some courses and jobs are more favourable, if you get into them, like teaching your chances of getting pr will increase immensely. I am not sure about permanent staying in this country, as I find life in India quite convenient. But the liberal mindset is something that is very appealing in Sydney.

University is beautiful. Fun learning experiences.
Tips: Make sure you know what you are doing. The choices you made will reflect on the rest of your journey in Australia. Be wise as you'll find a cultural shift that you need to adapt. Each university has a certain set of scholarships for Indian students make sure you get all the details before you enroll. The university is good but the course that I took Engineering Management is not registered/ recognised by Engineers Australia which evaluates your academics. Make sure whatever your choice of course is you choose is recognised under respective boards. Also have a look at skilled occupations list.
Likes (Safety): Sydney suburbs and other suburbs around the unis are quite safe and calm. Law enforcement is good. It's just that you won't find frequent buses to travel after 9pm. Except the CBD, and few suburbs. Rest all are dead street after 9pm. It is 98% safe always to travel alone at nights too.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It all depends on what courses you are doing and the relevant experience that you have with respect to the Immigration skilled occupation list. Do prior research on the courses you want to pursue. Aligning your interests, goals and skilled occupation list to meet the points to get PR.
