The university is dedicated to maintaining high academic standards and ensuring that only professors with extensive backgrounds, skills, and experience are authorized to conduct lectures. By upholding this standard, the university aims to safeguard the quality of education provided to its students. Alongside this commitment, the university also offers extracurricular programs designed to engage and focus students. These programs are structured to offer a variety of opportunities for students to expand their knowledge and acquire practical skills that will prove invaluable in their future careers.

If you walk around campus, you are most likely to be greeted with smiles and welcomes.

I think a big reason why our campus is so friendly is that the University works hard to create a culture where everyone is respectful towards each other. They’ve done this through message boards, email reminders, and various events that encourage and give people the opportunity to learn more about others.

Therefore, whenever I talk about my uni to a relative or a friend, I always highlight the friendliness of peple on campus!

Great subject options and a large number of classes, and smaller tutorials enable you to feel like you are being heard by the teacher. Great access to many libraries which are open late. Great support system both with teachers and well as student services.

Best place to get your degree as all faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable. Uni reputation is quite high as it is well recognized by almost all employers. Loads of extracurricular activities are available. It has a huge and beautiful campus.

I undertook the B-Comm degree in 2020 and am currently in my 3rd year. While the high barriers to entry and impressive name stand to intrigue, the strong private school elitist culture generally dampened the overall experience.

Course satisfaction ratings are less than world-class, reflecting the anti-social environment or perhaps the unbearable group projects with spoon-fed students who never learnt to value other people’s time or efforts.

Although it has been a year since COVID regulations loosened, lectures from 2020 are still being recycled, and many courses are still online, which leads me to often ask myself, ‘what am I paying for?’

I remain in the course as I have come too far not to complete it now. However, I would encourage high school students to look into Monash as opposed to Melbourne for a better culture.

I think UoM is an excellent place to hone your skills for the future. The courses can be very tough and verge on hectic, but giving it your all always yields wonderful results. I especially value how frequently there are opportunities to apply theoretical learning to more practical environments and the emphasis on teamwork skills in many courses I have taken and plan to take in my final year. A worthwhile investment in your future.

Overall, my experience thus far at the University of Melbourne has been a mix of joy, delight and slight disappointment! The campus itself is definitely a sight for sore eyes, lots of open spaces and majestic architecture; new and old. Students are spoiled for choice with study areas and quaint cafe spots around campus. Not to mention the central location of the university which makes it too easy to go for a nice outing with friends after a long uni day. The reasons for my slight disappointment? The food options on campus are not student-friendly in terms of wallet damage…so beware! On the bright side, it encourages me to pack my own lunch…which i guess turns it into an advantage? Either way, prepare to blow some serious cash if you decide to grab a meal and drink on campus!

This university has given me a chance to showcase my leadership skills in becoming an ambassador in my accommodation and in my course. I really enjoy the programme as it allowed me to meet more new international students
