Great university with good part-time opportunities.
Tips: Students should try and structure their courses early on. The trimester pattern at UNSW is a bit fast-paced, meaning assignments start from the first two weeks itself and the courses themselves are moderate to difficult. It is overall challenging but also manageable if you come prepared. I got a 15% scholarship, and it is granted to international students. (International Student Award). UNSW is a great option for CSE and Engineering courses. Tech-based courses are pretty advanced as well. It is very good for aspiring developers.
Likes (Part time work): The average pay is 24-30 AUD per hour, it is not too difficult to find a part-time job and the job itself are good. It takes time to learn how to manage jobs and studies, but with practice should be good. Casual work is great as well as more flexibility on the shifts you take and can accommodate studies easier.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is available, but in fewer options in the main city area for vegetarian Indian food. If you go to Harris Park (little India) you will find very good Indian food. I prefer cooking my meals, but sometimes with hectic schedules, it is tough to manage that throughout the day. I recommend meal prepping 2-3 days of the week for convenience.

UNSW Kensington Campus has great academic with good faculty.
Tips: The trimester pattern at UNSW is a bit tough. Some courses that sound easy end up being the hardest to pass. Ask for feedback before joining courses and enrolling. Also, make sure you have enough time to finish all tasks on time. Time management can be stressful.
Likes (Value for money): The University of New South Wales is a great place to study. There are lots of events on campus, and it's always lively with different cultural events. There are over 300+ clubs you can join, and you can start your own club if you have a hobby or interest that isn't already represented. There are also lots of communities you can join if you want to mingle with people from various countries and learn about other cultures.
Dislikes (Internships): The faculty here are very knowledgeable and have a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. They are always willing to help students understand the material and are available to answer any questions that come up. They provide good support throughout the course for any help that students might need.

Great college to pursue a Master's degree, but no internship opportunities.
Tips: University of New South Wales is great for studies. There are no placement/ Internship programs provided by the university, especially for post-graduation research. It is expensive to live in Sydney. The professors are knowledgeable and skilled in their fields. The campus is wonderful with lots of activities and clubs to participate in.

UNSW offers various scholarships based on merit and need. The application process typically includes submitting academic transcripts and a personal statement.
