The university boasts a rich and celebrated history of academic excellence, with a notable reputation for attracting exceptionally talented students across various fields of study. It is a rarity to come across a student within the university who does not exhibit remarkable skills and abilities. Through providing ample resources and support, the university aims to nurture these bright minds, equipping them with the necessary tools to excel both academically and professionally. The institution prides itself on fostering an environment that not only challenges students to grow intellectually but also encourages them to push boundaries and create knowledge that will have a lasting impact.

The University of Melbourne stands out as an exceptional destination for students seeking both successful careers and an extraordinary educational experience. The university provides an extensive range of tutoring and support programs, bolstered by a robust outreach department that connects students with valuable job opportunities.

The University of Melbourne curriculum is not only of great quality and value, but also structured and applicable to real life. They provide many means of learning with lecture capture and online options, promoting a great study-life balance. The campus is its own little magical world, with thousands of nooks and crannies to enjoy as a Unimelb student.

The application process to the University of Melbourne is the most painless application process I have been through, everything is super clear and detailed. The best part is they respond super fast, 11 days in my case; it does not even stop here, while getting my visa and planning my course I was always able to get support from the the university by booking virtual appointments with them and they were always super helpful.

However, when I finally got my visa and came to the university, I started wondering if they actually cared or if it was all just public relations. The University of Melbourne prides itself in being “Australia’s number 1 university”, but sometimes I felt like they did not do enough to show for it. I took four subjects during my first semester, one of which was forced upon me, even though it has nothing to do with my major or what I want to do, but the university decided that I have to take and pay for it.

Moreover, the university’s student union seems to care about politics than the actual students, they do campaigns against climate change, Israel and in favour of extending the free tram zone, but never have I seen a campaign to lower the university’s insane international students’ tuition fees which are two to three times higher than those for domestic students.

Finally, the university does have great learning environment, it is positive and the lecturers are great and, for the most part, they try to actually help their students, but the in a lot of cases the university under pays them to the point that they have to do compromises.

In a nutshell, I think that the University of Melbourne is a great place to learn, but they need to focus more on the students and the lecturers than on sheer profit.
