" staff were generally helpful, classmates were really friendly. i really loved how convenient the campus was and there was a lot of good food in and around campus for lunch/tea/dinner. parking was unfortunately not very accessible/affordable but that would be a trade off of the campus being so close to melbourne cbd. overall i would recommend studying here!

" Good class sizes, great staff and contact hours, great facilities. Close to the CBD and other cultural institutions like The malthouse and MTC and galleries. Short walk to Southbank giving you plenty of lunch and dinner options before rehearsals. Very easy public transport access. Always felt safe on campus. "

" Very great university -> pandemic has meant most of my studies have been online, but would definitely recommend Melbourne and everything it has to offer. If you're looking for a great, well versed campus, and a university with lots of social options and activities, there aren't many better options within Australia, and definitely not within Melbourne.

" My favorite part of being in University of Melbourne is the involvement in students organizations and associations. There are so many opportunities for students to join communities of their interests. Beyond that, the campus also host exciting events; the annual night market and farmers' market program are only one of a few events that bring students, staff, and faculty together. However, I do find a lack of guidance in managing my academic plan and professional development. "
