Life at UniSA

Likes

I have chosen Adelaide specifically as getting a PR was relatively easy compared to other cities. I have chosen this course as I was more inclined towards becoming a Data Analyst/Data Engineer and the course provided by university was good compared to all other universities.
The curriculum was more hands-on rather than theoretical which I liked the most. The faculty were also friendly and also helpful. I also got an opportunity to work as an intern in the research and development department during my 2nd year.

Dislikes

Nothing much that I actually disliked about the university. Its a nice beautiful campus located in Adelaide which has a train facility from the city. However, I had to switch between the city campus and Mawson lakes campus depending on the chosen topic.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I stayed in a shared accommodation(2 people) at a lodge close to the city. I used to pay $135/week. But the costs have risen significantly post covid.

It all depends on the individual person. You yourself have to take the responsibility. There’s is no one to push you to do something. The faculty are just there to guide you. Ultimately, it is your duty to learn as much as you can and get a job.

University of South Australia: Hectic lifestyle

Accommodation

Off Campus

The accomodations are excellent and based on the budget of the students. The range goes from 150 AUD per week to 400 AUD per week. The students can choose fr mom shared apartment to getting their own flat. One of the benefits is student can share accomodations with Australian families for better understanding of the culture.

I chose University of South Australia for the following reasons: 1. Ranking: it is one of the top ranked universities in the world for accounting and finance. It is ranked in top 100 for accounts and finance and is ranked never 1 In Australia for quality education. Also it is top 30 in the world young university rankings. 2. Cost: it fitted my budget fabulously so it became a top preference pretty quick. 3. Location: The University of South Australia is located in Adelaide which is one of the most desirable places to live in the world according to world living index.

Exciting and adventurous, learnt to be independent , explore new things and get involved in co-curricular activities as much as you can.

Accommodation

Off Campus

Many student accomodations are available in the city centre but they are quite costly but totally worth the money as they provide many facilities. If you don't want that you can rent a room in a share house or if you have friends u can rent a full house for yourselves and that is the cheapest option.

I wanted to do Pharmacy and UniSA is the only university in SA that offers this course and that too without maths as I did PCB in year 12. Also, Adelaide is a very good city as it is small and comfortable with everything in a radius of 10km. Therefore, it is very easy and fast to get to the universities from any part of Adelaide and thus students can invest more time on studies rather than on transport.

The University of South Australia

It was the first offer I received and I didn't want to wait for one from Adelaide Uni, as I had been panicking about whether or not the grades I provided were indeed up to scratch for University-level education. When I looked into it I also discovered that the courses were very similar and there was no particular reason I necessarily needed to go to Adelaide.

Accommodation

I'm in a shared house with some friends I know through my connections. I really love it here and find it convenient to get around. I haven't heard much good regarding the uni accommodations but it seems alright

It has a good reputation in the arts as well as a high percentage of graduate careers. Also just because it was the first university I got accepted into and I just went for it without waiting for any other responses.
