There are some fantastic lecturers at UTAS. My experience during placements was one of extreme negligence and toxicity. I was not supported, on fact it was so bad that durind a six week placement i saw my facilitator 5 times during which he was aggressive, smelt of alcohol, i could go on and on. I did seek help but was told he was very experienced, nobody listened. This was my final placement before graduation. He subsequently failed me though i had consistent excellent feedback from staff, but he was not present, nor seemed to care. It felt personal towards the end. The stress was so bad I broke out in hives and my face swelled up. The stress of working so hard at such a high standard then being overlooked, not supported, including when I sort help from more senior staff at UTAS, and to then be failed was a pure case of injustice and it has harmed me to this day.
Curtin University is greta for those who are very "career-centric"; the university itself places great emphasis on how to find internships and jobs and are very supportive in that regard. The university is also one that places importance on social networking, whether that be through clubs, discord servers and affordable or free social events. One thing I do dislike however is the disorganisation in some courses or how little spaces there can be for classes (this might be specific to my major/course though). Overall I have enjoyed my time here so far.
Unfortunately, I had to go to RMIT University in Australia, and I have to admit that it was the most disappointing and unpleasant experience of my life. It was immediately apparent that this establishment was not at all what it purported to be—a prominent university. First and foremost, dealing with the RMIT administration is a complete headache. They are uncoordinated, unresponsive, and don't appear to care about genuinely assisting kids in succeeding. I had to wait weeks for a simple inquiry to be resolved, and even then, the answers I got were sometimes wrong or conflicting. The quality of education at RMIT is also severely lacking. Many of the professors are disinterested and seem to have no real passion for teaching. The curriculum is outdated, and the coursework often feels irrelevant to real-world applications. It's clear that the university is more concerned with making a profit than actually providing a quality education. The facilities at RMIT are in a sorry state as well. The classrooms are cramped and outdated, and the library is sorely lacking in resources. It's as if the university is stuck in the past and has no interest in investing in modern facilities for its students. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of my time at RMIT was the lack of support for students. There is a complete lack of career services and guidance for students looking to enter the job market. It's as if the university expects you to figure it all out on your own. In summary, I would strongly advise anyone considering RMIT University in Australia to think twice. The administration is a mess, the education is subpar, and the lack of support for students is disheartening. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration and look elsewhere for your education.

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
