- 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.

Campus life is amazing and quite busy. It's different for different people. There are a lot of extra curricular activities. One must join relevant clubs as per his interest.

I live in a shared house, quite near to Deakin. Average rental near college- 700 to 1200$.

These were interactive and based to simulate the work environment rather than focus on normal college agendas.
Accommodation
I stayed at my relative's place for 1 year and did not opt for college accommodation.

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.

So, I think Deakin is quite well rounded in all of the three things you just mentioned. They have really good research facilities and labs because I have been looking and I have lot of friends in the nursing and medical community so I know that they have a lot of opportunities for them as well. Sports also a lot of my classmates and friends do play sports they have all kinds of sports sport teams, cheerleading, basketball, volley ball and a very very expensive library, three floors library, and lots of staff to help they also just opened the new law building and the whole floor gym and pool so they do provide a lot of good experiences to new students and people who are doing on campus study. So they also have lots of groups like they have a dance club, they have a book club they have lots of you know lets go to picnic club, they have lots of facilities for new students who don't they also have friends group you know to meet with people they have parties and during orientation week I think that's when they have the most number of parties. So unfortunately I only got to do one year of my undergraduate there because of COVID and the first year I just decided to you know look instead of joining groups I was just trying to find new people get my space cause I have never done psychology before so I really wanted to focus on my academics but and when I thought I do it in second year that's when I had to come back home.

One tip that I have for you guys is to plan for your study abroad as soon as possible, planning ahead is important because there are a lot of details you will need to take into account before you leave. So yeah, that's about it all the very best guys.
Campus Life
My campus has Type-4 and Type-3 bio safety labs, microbiology labs and architectural strategy labs. We have different research institutions like we have a whole building that is dedicated to research. Every campus and every faculty has its own society with different areas of study. They have different societies for different countries. If you are interested in sports, they even have different clubs for them.
Accommodation
Like in Singapore, although, you know, it is generally there's like this apartment culture, you've got to hit the HDB, which are the government housing, the cheapest, you can find accommodation. Right, then you've got private condos. And and although, you know, Singapore also is like very pricey, then we've come out as, like, pretty high on the rankings, in terms of, like, most expensive place to live in, right, like, but I would say, like, compared to, like, you know, somewhere like, Hong Kong, it's like, we, I would say that it's maybe most international students would find this place more like palatable, because they're slightly more space. And you're not living in those coffin homes in Hong Kong, where so there's really no space and even though like it's crowded here, right, because it's so small and congested, but I would say that there's obviously this one order
Campus Life
Deakin University has state of the art infrastructure the library facility is available 24x7 for the students and it is also available online the library has all the books relating to the courses and the university also has a football ground and a basketball court ,and a cricket ground the university also provides its students with the gym facility the students get discount on the gym facility. the university has many different clubs to choose from like culture club, sport club, anime club and course related club as well.
Accommodation
My first residence was Deakin's own residences. There my rent was around $750 and I had my own private room with a laundry where all the bills were included expect the laundry. For my second accommodation, I rented a whole house with one of my friends and there I was paying all the bills and everything. But, there were 4 rooms in the house. Right now, I am living in one house and I'm renting this one where all bills are included. I just have to spend money on groceries.
