- As per the ranking, La Trobe university is considered to be one of the best university in Australia and also the tuition fee is in my budget
Hostel:
I used to stay with my friends near to the university. So it didn’t cost much.
My overall experience was not at all fascinating. There is no support from university related to placements. Most of the classes were conducted online with poor quality. Australian job market is really worst to find professional job after graduation. You need to have at least 3-4years of job experience before commencing masters in order to survive in Australia.
Hostel:
I lived with my friends a short distance away from the university. Most students do this because living in a university is quite expensive. The average rent would be 450 AUD per month and it varies slightly depending on the area you choose to live in.
I had some friends in Latrobe, also Latrobe is a good university in Australia as it is one of the tops. I myself wanted to pursue my studies at a good university that could help me explore things that I had not explored before. Plus its main branch is in Melbourne where the cost of living is lower than in Sydney. These are the reasons to choose Latrobe University.
Hostel:
Can't comment not in Australia yet, but the infrastructure is one of the greatest campuses in Southern Australia and in Melbourne with State-of-Art facilities
It has courses structured to meet the required industry requirements that frequently get updated. State-of-art facilities, Public and Established University
Hostel:
I have chosen to find an accommodation by myself and the monthly living expenses would be approximately $1000 per month.
I am very passionate about studying Human Resources. I spent significant amount time to research the courses and subjects designed by the universities. I was impressed with the range of topics covered in Human Resource in my current program at La Trobe University. I preferred La Trobe over the other Universities specifically because of the course, Master of Management - Human Resource Management.
Hostel:
I live at home but travel by car for 1.5 hours per day (so all up 3 hours) I can?t afford to live on campus as it is very costly. My job is also close to my residence so it would be difficult to move and find a new job
Because they have the specific course I wanted to do in a double degree. I also loved the large open campus and how there are interesting things to do there that are unrelated to study such as a wildlife sanctuary.
Hostel:
Many national and career-focused events are conducted in our institute. Manny Pacquiao you have received your events conducted by places and things have changed and you can get it done. Improvisational is key.
Good education with affordable tuition fees. Good graduate employability in the industry. Good infrastructure and resources for students to seek help if facing any difficulties. Many students clubs and extracurricular activities for students all-round development.
Because it was the only university that had the specific course I wanted to do, I was looking around but no other university offered a course like this and also because this university is big.
La Trobe University offers the variety of courses I wanted, it is also relatively close to my home town which is around about 3 hours away, meaning I can still keep in contact with my family and catch up with them on weekends.
Hostel:
I live close to my university, so I am still living at home with my parents. This is good as all I need to pay for is public transport to be able to get to and from uni. However, La Trobe does offer on-campus accommodation.
The only university which offered a pathway to veterinary medicine without requiring a high enter score. It also provides pathways into animal conservation, animal research or zoology. Plus the La Trobe Melbourne campus has great up to date science facilities.
Hostel:
Staying with someone I know from family
Good Ranking, Nice course structure, choice of subject to suit personal interests
