Tips: It’s a very pretty campus with amazing people. The food options are good on campus for vegetarians but not in the city. The nightlife and clubs are amazing. The faculty is very helpful and there are many scholarships for Indians so that’s a plus.

Likes (Safety): Brisbane is a very safe place. More and more people are relocating to Brisbane. It’s very safe for girls to go out at night as there is security everywhere. This is the reason why Brisbane is an ideal place for me to live and stay here.

Dislikes (Internships): There are fewer internship opportunities for international students than Australian students. Sometimes, I feel Asian people face discrimination at workplaces. This is one of the prime reasons that I rate low on internships. But people are genuinely helpful.

Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) - Batch of 2024

The college is beautiful and the learning process helps you grow professionally.

Tips: It is a multicultural environment so students are required to be pretty extroverted if they want to make contacts and be social. Scholarships are not granted easily as the cut-off goes to around 98-99 percentile unless you are transferring through an international programme from an Indian college.

Likes (Quality of faculty): They are very open to questions and help you with any doubts. Teaching methods are mostly practical and plagiarism free. It's easy to learn if you attend all the lectures and stay focused on your task instead of focusing on part time jobs. I would say the teaching faculty is pretty diverse in terms of nationality.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies offer sponsorship for post-study visas. Job roles are not offered frequently and the base salary in my field is around 80k-90k AUD. It's very hard to get into companies as you will have to apply for 400-500 of them and still, it's luck-based because there are rounds for interviews, especially behaviour interviews.
