University of Ballarat

You are allocated a monthly internet quota worth 6 AUD, this lasts (for me) just for 2-3 days. So I spend a lot on buying additional internet quota (about 50 AUD a month)

Overall Experience This is a worst university.There are lecturers who mostly psychopaths here.ITMS-Information Technology,Mining.Mostly Senior lecturers are Australians and tutorial lecturers are Indian with a horrible english. You need paitence if you want to study 2 years here.The Indian community is pretty annoying and odd.Its difficult and deal ,study with Amatuers in this University. Rating: Gaining admission and getting there Admissions are easy in the university and its all revenue based university.People in this locality do not the value of an International student and their money.Its the cheapest University in Australia. Rating: Funding and Scholarships I got my self funded in State Bank of India Coimbatore. Study Experience Its a lazy university,they do not even arrange proper Syllabus in the university Rating: Life Experience Worst Bus service here and Commercial areas are ready to close at any time.Its easy to get accomodation but difficult to be with Indians here.There are no student union here.University accomodation is the worst.Please dont ever try to get into that locality.Its a waste of money.Most of the students are treated like convicts Rating: Job Prospects No jobs in this town. If you get jobs,its not worth working in the restuarant. There is an IBM company here in which they recruit non IT people for Helpdesk,its very odd. Ballarat and University of Ballarat is not a place to live and study.. If you decide to come here and please be ready to face all these. There is no exposure or community to interact. Rating: Recommended for international students No

Australia is a good choice if u want to explore this continent. My experiences so far are traveling to tasmania and scuba diving on the great barrier reef. Certainly things u dont do at home. But the Ballarat people do not fancy strangers. Also the youngsters at campus have developed a huge drinking culture, with "Social functions" once or twice a week. If u dont like excessive drinking, staying on campus is not a very wise decision....

Housing is quite expensive, but you get a daily cleaner for the common area, a well equiped kitchen and awashing machine and drier.

Best place to visit would be 21 arms or bended elbow, since these are the only popular places in this town. The regent cinema is also worth a visit, its huge!!!
