Student review [#43287] for Arts
at The University of Melbourne - UoM

University of Melbourne shocked me with its plethora of student support services. As an international student from Singapore, I entered Australia with no prior knowledge of how uni life was going to be like. One programme that I absolutely loved was the fresh food programme 2022 that targeted food insecurity amongst students at UniMelb. A generous amount of fresh fruit and vegetables were handed out monthly – containing onions, bananas, pumpkins, apples, mandarins and more. The fresh food box was extremely useful as the amount of food given could last me weeks. As an international student who had to cook my own meals and juggle studying, University can get overwhelming at times and planning grocery trips and meals can be a hassle. The fresh food programme lessened the toll of grocery shopping on students.
