" In terms of research, I'm sure UniMelb is one of the best in Australia. But in terms of creating a supportive, nurturing environment that makes you feel as if you are valued as an individual and not a number - UniMelb unfortunately falls short. "

" Great university with good networking opportunities and in the heart of the Melbourne city, but education is comparable to other Australian universities. In the commerce field, it is a competitive environment and study may be stressful, it's more theory based rather than hands on. "

" I made some great memories at the University of Melbourne. I also know several friends who had strong employment prospects after studying here. There are lots of clubs and societies, especially compared to Monash. I would recommend getting involved in both the social and academic sides of university to get the most out of the experience. "

" UniMelb provides its students a wide range of classes and social activities, as well as timely support from its staffs and even the student clubs. Classes are manageable, however, the workload requires you to fully-focused on your study in order to achieve high grades. "
