- Cultural and academic related clubs and student groups.
- Campus environment and staff support
- Course structure and resources available for students
Dislikes
- On campus accommodation is very expensive
- Fast paced environment when it comes to academics
- There are lot of activities to do on campus and you have no time to cover everything as few activities are overlapping.
Campus Life
- There are 4 campuses of Monash University in Melbourne itself. Libraries, sports, medical, clubs, fitness, food, etc. are available on every campus. There are plenty of them. Study rooms, presentation and breakout rooms are available for smooth studies.
- Student hubs are available with all the facilities for students to study 24/7.
- Monash Clayton campus has Wednesday sessions that happen every Wednesday, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, where students gather to relax and enjoy some snacks and music organised by the university.
Accommodation
- realestate.com to rent a whole property. Flatmates, Instagram communities, and Facebook groups for finding an accommodation. Be very careful while choosing one. Not all are as good as they seem to be. Do not pay before inspecting the property directly. Try to get a house in your language or nationality for easy living.
Likes
- The curriculum is vast and industry relevant
- There is a lot if diversity in the university
- The professors and staff is very friendly
Dislikes
- Expensive accommodation at campus
- Not much to say about it yet since its only been one semester
Campus Life
- Monash has four campuses in Australia and one in Malaysia. My campus is the second largest, which is the Caulfield campus. With a big library and a lot of study spaces spread across the campus, medical facilities are available on normal times and they are helpful enough to refer to insurance, including doctors around Melbourne.
- There are opportunities for all kinds of sports and clubs. The O-week is great at the main campus, Clayton, and good for my campus as well; there are parties at different festivals throughout the semester.
Accommodation
- I live with my friend and we are renting a two-bedroom apartment. Accommodation is available on real estate and domain and there are student accommodations for people who don’t know anyone here. A lot of my friends are living in student accommodations and they are happy with it. It can be a little expensive here but you can earn your expenses while studying.
- Challenges can be with no rental history so renting an apartment for a newcomer is not the easiest job. I advise living in student accommodations and getting pay slips steadily for at least 6 months before renting by yourself.
Likes
- We have good Internship opportunities there, which I found good .
- Quality of faculty is so good, they are so interactive and intellectual.
- We can also get good Indian food near there.
Dislikes
- I think its not value for money; the fee we pay is high compared to other universities.
- Permanent immigration is a problem.
- Not safe for students in campus during night time.
Campus Life
- The campus is good, and we have a good campus life at our university. We have a library at our university, and you will be able to access various books and resources for studies and research. Also, you have good sports facilities, and sports events also happen. Fests are also great, we can enjoy with our friends, there will be karaoke night, moonlight cinema and stuff.
- Mostly 70 per cent of the students from the course get placed.
Likes
- Highly diverse with students from all over the world.
- Very efficient and knowledgeable faculty.
- Options to explore many extra curricular activities - almost all sort of clubs are available.
Dislikes
- Campus is not as big and fancy as Oxford or Cambridge.
- Not very helpful in getting campus placements.
Campus Life
My college has 4 locations. They are in Waterloo (where I go), Brantford, Milton, and Kitchener. My campus has a library, a wellness centre, around 4-5 study areas (from large halls to medium sized rooms), 2 fields, and a gym which has swimming pools, basketball and volleyball courts, and a badminton court. Homecoming football game is the most popular event at my university, but there are multiple other events that keep happening over the time. They are all shared on different instagram accounts managed by the university and also through a newsletter There are too many events which happen here and there, but the one which I like the most are the intramural sports which the university has. Intramural sports consists off sports competitions like football, volleyball, badminton, basketball, table tennis, frizbee etc. I participated in 7 man football event and badminton doubles. These intramural sport events start at the start of every term so it goes on throughout the year.
Accommodation
"I found accommodation through facebook marketplace. My rent was $700 which included laundry and utilities (electricity and water). I did not really face any challenges while finding accommodation, but when securing it, I had to make a decision within 2 days after viewing because of it's high demand. For future students, I would recommend to get a private room if possible because then you can focus a lot on your studies. There's Facebook marketplace, Kijiji and real estate agencies which rent out and if you find real estate agency which specialises in student housing (WCRI in my city, Waterloo), then you can find pretty cheap rooms near university campuses. My accommodation is around 4 KM away from the campus. Most of the Indian students live in the city of Kitchener, but some groups did live near the university but they had to share their rooms with at least 3-4 other people to afford those places."

Likes
- I chose this University based on programme structure, university ranking, opportunities available and level and type of academics offered.
- Organisation of academic and non academic activities alongside many opportunities for international students. Free food and drinks on many occasions throughout the week. Campus atmosphere and services offered. Dedicated sports and fitness services alongside of the technical activities as well if one is interested. There are opportunities available to socialize with like minded folks and gain insights to pursue different career paths and/or jobs amongst other things.
Dislikes
- Location of the university is almost half hour away from the city that is probably the most disliked point. Lack of human element in various processes, like there are many instances when you are supposed to do a certain aspect of activity and due to its digital nature you might not understand it completely well at the same time if there were a human element involved it would prove a lot more beneficial.
Campus Life
Campus infrastructure is top notch and campus life is great you get to explore a lot and facilities for studying or just relaxing are available on a large scale.
Accommodation
It depends on type of accommodation chosen. Shared student housing is probably the hassle free cheapest option out there. But if you have a couple of friends renting a bigger house would prove to be cheaper.
Likes
- Change of pace from US rat race, better ranking, lower fees, better international recognition, safer country.
Campus Life
There are multiple events and extracurricular activities as part of the Monash campus life. From clubs, tech groups to hostel groups, casual sport fans, country based groups, you name it.
Accommodation
There were both on campus and off campus accommodation options, with the latter being more affordable (may be at the cost of infrastructure but that is subjective to the tenant). Most rooms were share houses, i.e, private rooms with shared facilities such as kitchens and washrooms. On average, the off campus accommodation can go anywhere between 500-1000 monthly (without bills).
Likes
- The faculty is extremely impressive with lot of different courses.
Campus Life
The campus has everything, students are just required to spend enough time in the campus to enjoy the campus facilities. The world class campus infrastructure has everything a student wants.
Accommodation
The rent in Melbourne varies from suburb to suburb. People need to pay higher rent for living the city central but lower rent for living in smaller suburbs. Although living in the city is more happening than in suburbs.
