- Reachable mentor, Actively responding, cooperative, quick University related solution, problem solver in terms of solving the stress or any other issue.
- Overall the experience is quite amazing in terms of faculty involvement and career growth.
- As of now, I didn't face any issue related to University. Everything is well planned if milestones were not completed on time they give extension to perform experiments.
Campus Life
- Campus there are 3 feeling, melbourne and one more. Facilities are distributed according to the faculty associated with the department. Activities like flagship conference for the department was there which promotes student to participate in the event and showcase there work in the field of research and development. Oral presentation and poster presentations.
Accommodation
- Off campus student I am as we have to visit the university for 6 months I have applied for visa but it got delayed because of passport expiry date and it came very late around 6 months at that time my all milestones were already covered.
- So I didn’t go there but the batchmate gone there the aboard accomodation is very expensive but well arranged and facilities are there.

Likes
- Industry aligned courses and research support
- Strong faculty members and support staff
- Flexible college hours
Dislikes
- Still in its founding stage meaning a lot of pipelines to be setup
- Small cohort, lesser peer learning opportunities
- Canteen not available
Campus Life
- We have the following campuses:
- Melbourne Burwood Campus, Burwood, Victoria, Australia
- Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, Geelong, Victoria, Australia
- Geelong Waterfront Campus, Geelong, Victoria, Australia
- Warrnambool Campus, Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia
- GIFT City Campus, Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, India
- A gym is available in the university and along with that, a recreational room for yoga and other activities.
- The university conducts a hackathon every year which might expose students to different cultures and provide them a head start in getting an admission to the college.
Accommodation
- The accommodation is not provided by the college, although they have a tie-up with the external hostel service.
- Monthly rent could be anywhere around 20,000 to 25,000 indian rupees.
- The college would not disclose the contact information of other students, essentially making it difficult to communicate with the students to acquire the accommodation of their choice with the partner.
- I lived in Geeta Residency 4 at Raysan. They provide most amenities and have a decent food taste for north Indians.
- The campus is roughly 5 kilometres away from the hostel and will require a mode of transport.



Likes
- The best part about Dekin is up-to-date curriculum paired with expert faculty and global exposure.
Campus Life
- If you move forward to study with Deakin, you'll enjoy an amazing campus life. You'll meet with students and professors that come from different countries and have different experiences. You'll also get to experience a large number of activities, clubs, and events.
Accommodation
- You'll have no shortage of accommodation options or the ways to find them. There are plenty of online platforms, IM groups, and flyers to help you get your accommodation sorted.
- Options near the university would be a bit expensive compared to distant options. Similarly, solo accommodations would be costlier compared to dorms. So choose an option that fits your budget and needs.
Likes
- I love all the things extracurricular activities, sports, teaching, practical works, and many more. There are definitely many things in this university and I will explore more as I study two more years in this university. Thanks
Dislikes
- I only dislike one thing that is the pressure of study in the first trimester. The assignment deadlines for the first trimester students is very less and the time given to explain these things up is also very less. Students like me from India or any country where assignments are not that much impactful, Will not focus more on them but here they matter alot.
Campus Life
I love my campus as Deakin provide many opportunities to keep ourselves active, sports events, food trolleys, fun competitions and many more, it's one of the best thing about Deakin university and I enjoy it alot. Talking about the library and facilities such as Wi-Fi, sports facilities and all they are very high in standard and very very reliable.
Accommodation
I live in an apartment as I don't believe in sharing and I am not comfortable with anyone so I live by myself.
Likes
- The infrastructure and friendly student support there really makes easy for us to interact with the staff and the attendance policy is also not that strict as we can take the classes online. Most of the seminars are also available virtually and lectures are always recorded live.
Dislikes
- The location for me its like little bit far from the melbourne CBD but nothing to worry as we can get a train or tramp as well.Even they have a express bus shuttle service from box hill station to deakin university.
Campus Life
The infrastructure is top- notch and the extra curricular activities are also there if you like to participate. There’s a student body name DUSA which mostly organizes different events on campus. They are mostly like for the student where we can be the member by paying the minimal fees and we can get lots of benefits from that.
Accommodation
There’s a in-house accommodation provided by the university but it gets filled quickly. You must apply beforehand to get that. I also tried to apply for that but it was like fully booked. You can also check for accommodation sites such as deakinhouse.me where you will find the listing of nearby property for rent.

These were interactive and based to simulate the work environment rather than focus on normal college agendas.

Campus Life
The campus has clubs for most of the hobbies and the library is full of resources with the best sports facilities and a strong wifi.

Deakin has student residences with options of sharing between 2,5 and 6 people along with single units as well. Average rent is around $1250 AUD.
Campus Life
I'm attending online sessions from India right now so I can not describe much about campus life. In the introduction, video faculties showed a lot of things inside the University which includes a library, nanotechnology lab, genetic lab, big playground, auditorium etc
Accommodation
I'm attending online classes right now, so I can't provide details about accommodation. Most of the students opt for off-campus accommodation since it's a bit cheap. Most of the students first book a room for one-two weeks and then look for a shared apartment.
