- Firstly, USYD has a very beautiful campus that gives Hogwarts vibes
- Next, I would say the learning environment, the university provides like access to library and learning hubs 24/7
- Some aspects of my course curriculum that gave the practical exposure in the fields I'm specializing in
Dislikes
- Old fashioned assessment methods: I didn't expect pen-paper exams when I joined the university. I genuinely believe that this is completely waste of time and efforts - some better assessments methods that are more practical in nature should have been included
- Limited support from Careers office: They just wanted to follow the predefined methods instead guiding on a personal basis as per the profile of the student. I was quite disappointed whenever I went there
- Boring Lectures - some lecturers just deliver the lectures by reading the slide content majority of the time
Campus Life
- It has so many campuses - I can't list each and every one, as I only used to go to the business school majorly
- Every facility mentioned is available - sports, library, cafes, and yes, medical services too
- USU FESTs at the beginning of the semester and multiple other events at so many locations conducted during the semester
- I used the badminton court and gym mostly
Accommodation
- I opted for off-campus accommodation, but I stayed with my cousin for the entire first semester so won't be able to answer this question in detail but after the first semester I tried to apply for the on-campus accommodations, but they were majorly on a waitlist, so I randomly checked flatmates and started going on inspections and finalised one!
- Mine was around 30 mins walk from Campus
- Also, for the recommendation, apps like flatmates and facebook marketplace are useful to find an accommodation within your budget.

- I chose Masters in Economics which has always been my subject of interest. The decision of choosing University of Sydney was the second after deciding the country. Australia looked like an untapped market in comparison to saturated UK job market. USA was the first choice only if offered an admission into the ivy league university. And once, Australia is a country was decided, University of Sydney is the first choice in terms of rankings, and Sydney being the financial capital of Australia.
- The facilities, campus, resources to do anything we want to do and large amount of encouragement the university gives to the students to pursue whatever they want.
Dislikes
- I have expected the university to have a placement cell where they call companies for campus placements, but nothing of this sort exists. We ourselves need to apply to companies and go through the recruitment process, university just trains us. This is the only thing until now which disappointed me.
Campus Life
I would like to answer this question in one single word:- IMMENSE. The amount of facilities and campus life this university gives, we cannot even enjoy a quarter of it, because there is literally so much going on all the time.
Accommodation
It terms of accommodation, Sydney is always in housing crisis, and therefore rents always remain in sky. For a decent accommodation, expect at least AUD 350-400 per week.

- Good QS ranking and working rights post completion of Masters.
Campus Life
Infrastructure is excellent with very modern facilities and a lot of options for extracurricular activities.
Accommodation
On campus accommodation available, but mostly Indian students share apartments with other students as it is a cheaper option.
Likes
- Job Market in Australia, Affordability, proximity to home town.
Campus Life
Really good sports facility. Issue is every single sports facility has to be paid separately from tuition fees and sports and amenities fees. Nothing is included.
Accommodation
I lived in a student accommodation off campus.
Accommodation
I have been living off campus because its relatively cheap and makes a lot of difference when you look for a whole year.
I choose this university because first its the best University in Australia for my course and I wanted to study in Australia.
Accommodation
Uni provided accommodations are of good quality and safe. The biggest benefit is the on campus accommodation that would save you the travelling time. However, all of those cost money. Especially, in a city like Sydney where the lodging and housing is very expensive it really does not matter whether it is uni or external when it comes to cost.
The University of Sydney is among the top ranked universities of the world who delivers some great post graduate courses. The policy to encourage critical and systems thinking in their teaching and research is really timely and most appropriate given the era that we live in. Most importantly, the graduate courses in project management they offer are unique owing to the general subject content that covers a wide range and the industry focus.
Accommodation
I stay in an off campus accommodation in campden as I missed the deadline and could not apply to an on campus accommodation.
It is known for its research and research facilities and is ranked in the top 100. For my course it is ranked 19th in the WORLD.
Accommodation
I have not had the chance to live there, but I have looked up on some apartments that is in a walking vicinity of the school, and it is about 400-800AUD/week on rent alone to live in an area close to USYD. I have also seen that the infrastructure of transportation is easily accessible and rather cheap.
I was enrolled in New York University as a Business Technology Management student for 2 years. I was 17 at the time and felt pressured by my parents to go to a well-known university to study the same major they did. In New York, I quickly realized that I did not feel fulfilled doing my major, and struggled a lot with my mental health. Mental health is a taboo topic in my home country, Indonesia, and that fact alone fueled my life goal of helping people, and so I took a special interest in the way our brain functions in hopes of advancing science and medicine that would be useful for people in the future as well as removing the negative stigma on mental illnesses. I decided it was time to take a leap of faith and moved half way across the world to USYD as I heard very amazing things about their science and research faculty. So, here I am studying Neuroscience and Psychology in a university that I love.
Accommodation
They are a lot of on campus accomodations and flats to rent. the prices are different for all
It is in the top five in australia and in top two for economics
Accommodation
No, live in private student accommodation where rental needs to be paid separately.
The University of Sydney has a renowned globally accredited medical programme which is accepted in multiple countries. Also it is close to home, which for me is Singapore.
