Not sure! The layout of the university was so so amazing and it just attracted me because of the location and all my friends were going there and they offer you online support as well so I was always going to go.

Course Curriculum

8

It's good I mean I'm not too sure at the moment because it's really early in the year but you feel like they are really trying to push us and see if we can understand the basics of my course which is really challenging!

Exams

VCE. In high school, we undertook a Victorian certificate of education exams and they were really hard but that admitted your acceptance into university so they were very important.

Placement

8

Very good! In my first course placements were an integral part of the course and they were amazing. They really confirmed the knowledge I knew, taught me what it was like to be in such an environment, and really opened my eyes to what the workforce is like outside of the university.

Internship

Yes, for all of my units they offered internships with companies that sounded amazing however only a selected few were accepted which makes it very hard to get into one through the uni. I had to search elsewhere for internship and experience.

Events

9

Orientation week! So much fun enjoyed every second of it. I got to hang out with my friends and it wasn't just amazing. However, it was a bit intimidating going from high school to such a grown-up environment.

Fees

It was Hecs so I don't actually have to pay anything right now which is amazing! I look at the course however and it is expensive.

Scholarship

No, I haven't. I don't get any financial aid or anything like that so it never occurs to me that?s I could get finical help.

Examination Structure

Really interested. Everything varied from one unit to another. I guess if I really pushed myself and attended every single class of the year I would've aced it but they really challenged you to apply your knowledge.

Faculty

7

Good. I don't see heaps and heaps of them but I know they are there. I believe they are very intelligent people so I respect the fact that they were in uni.

Hostel

9

No, I didn't stay on campus because I lived close to the uni and it was never an option for me to go and live on campus. Stereotypically it is really really expensive and it really wouldn?t of suited my situation.
