• The campus life was fun. had parties organized by the societies and get-togethers, and I was even part of a buddies and mentors team, which gave me an edge over other nonparticipating students to mingle and learn more about the country’s culture and the culture of people from other world countries. This beautifully blended into the friendship groups I formed over the years of university life, which I sometimes miss but hey, that’s just life :)

• So initially I was living two hours away from the university. I had a train station near my house so it would work but not for long! I had to move closer to the university as the subjects or the units, got heavier. I have lived in an independent house with a big backyard and a small independent townhouse. Both were very spacious and beautiful, as you know the houses in a first-world country are!
• The second house was just a 20 minute bus ride and the stops were both near to my house as well as the campus. I was really lucky in this matter.

The main campus’s infrastructure was well-equipped. There is a library with computers, printers, reading areas and self-study areas. WiFi is free for all students. There is also a sports field and a swimming pool.

There were school campus accommodations, but they were limited and very hard to get into. It was also expensive. It was generally shared.

There a lot of societies which are related to academic as well as extra curricular activities. Ofcourse it depends on individual about how they take part in such activities.

The university accommodation is really expensive one. But for bachelors students it’s one of the most convenient option. Apart from that the other option are renting out apartments or finding rooms on flatmates. ( average cost per room is approximately 250-300 AUD).

The main thing that I like about library is that there is unlimited study material. About infrastructure, there is a different department in different buildings. There are many clubs in my university. The main uniqueness of this university is they give double degrees.

Accommodation price in university is almost same outside and in the university. So it is better to stay outside with someone known. There are apartments daily requirement needs such as beds, refrigerator, microwave etc.

I didn’t apply for accommodation.

Because this is right in Sydney and is best for Engineering and renowned as well.

Yes, infrastructure good and Cost- around $280 per week.

Variety of courses offered.

I live with my parents so I don't have to pay for rent or food. I pay for my car and phone and I have a job but my parents cover all the other living expenses. I would love to live in Sydney so I don't have to catch the train so I really hope we can move to Sydney soon.

This was my first preference because I really wanted to go to uni in Sydney. I really love Sydney so much and I can't wait until I can live there but for now, I have to catch the train but hopefully, I can move there very soon because I feel like good stuff will happen once I'm actually living in Sydney and am close.

My parents own their own house in Sydney so there was no problem with residence but I would rather prefer living on campus as transportation costs are cut down and gives u more time to meet new people and focus more time on studying.

I got an early offer from this university and also because it has a great reputation within Sydney. Also because it is very easy to access as well so transportation becomes very easy. Based in the center of Sydney.

The open day for Macquarie was sub-par, to say the least, but its potential accessibility, quality of education, and unit offerings made it an attractive option. I ultimately chose to attend this university for its convenient location and career prospects. I applied for 6 universities and was offered places for five. Whilst my ATAR was not spectacular, bonus points pushed me above the line in nearly every case. The enrollment process for Macquarie seemed difficult, but comprehensive. I noted its 'backwardness' and lack of intuitive design, but acknowledged its support that seemed to be missing from other options I explored.I chose this programme for its applicability to my diplomatic plans. I always intended to go into International Relations or something close to it, and International Studies seemed perfect. Compulsory units tend to rely less on exams and more on internal assessments, which has proven to be a great stress reliever. I enjoy participating in class discussions and the programme has catered well to my wants and needs.

Living with parents, 1-2 hours bus ride to/from home. The bus only comes every hour or so, miss one and you will be bored for an hour, or in the case of exams - you are pretty much screwed. Meal and trip costs covered by the allowance. Food is overpriced because they know students are too lazy to go outside the campus. Living on campus or my having my accommodation is extremely expensive in Sydney. People are encouraged to share accommodation or stay with family.

I choose this college because Macquarie is part of the "Big 4" universities in Sydney, as long you are in one of these 4 universities in Sydney then you are "safe" career-wise.
