Tips: My university provided a scholarship. They are very helpful and supportive in all ways. And many more opportunities such as job, internships and so on are provided to students.

Tips: Since I'm here only for 10 months I can say that there are many opportunities for medical, teaching and finance as well so students coming here can try doing these specific courses to land them the best job. However, make sure you are aligned with the course offered and know what your courses can provide you.

Likes (Indian Food): The minimum of food expenses if you want to eat out would be around 10 to 15 aud dollars. To save up money I would recommend cooking home food. The less you spend on outside food, the more ...

Tips: My time at UOW was amazing! Made a ton of friends from different backgrounds and ethnicities. There are plenty of interactive events here that one can be a part of. The library is very spacious and commuting to the university is quite easy because there is a free shuttle bus service provided. There is a transition but it is swift if you are open to it, embracing diversity.

Tips: To be a finance student in UOW is not easy, I studied finance here and as an International student from India, it's hard to get accustomed to the Australian English accent. You'll find yourself in situations where you hardly understand anything that is delivered. The course is not very easy, even if you prepare well you will not score good. If you are someone who is academically oriented and is always striving to get good grades then it will surely give you a hard time and might demotivate you t...

Tips: For me, finding a room to rent in the early 2021 was very stressful, there were literally no empty rooms to rent at that time and I was traveling to university from Sydney which was very hectic. So if you don't have any contacts or relatives here at Wollongong, just book University accommodation if you can afford it.

Likes (Safety): People here are very welcoming and friendly. Although very rare, coming across drunks while waiting for the public transportation in the evenings was not a pleasant experience for ...
