    My alma mater - I'm old enough to have gone to lectures in the Masson theatre, the lecture theatre that takes up three storeys of the Chemistry building. It's massive! I don't think they fill it any more, for WHS reasons. It seated hundreds of students, and would be full for first year lectures (what with science, engineering and medicine first years all doing the subject). AND we had the rolling blackboards that were also three storey high. Plus the little skinny ones at either side of the big one in the middle. We used to draw race tracks, and have chalk 'car' races on them. The blokes who had the job of cleaning all the blackboard panels off after each lecture - yes, it was a job - hated it when we did that.

    This is my number 1 preference for studying this year! Bachelor of Arts major in psychology, and I really really hope I get an offer from them. Ig the big difficulty will be seeing if it will be online again this year or not - no idea how it’ll react to omicron or if this wave will be resolved by feb 24th (when uni starts) or not. Regardless, im super excited for the experience and all the clubs and knowledge and friends I’ll be able to come into contact with!!!

      Look, this year might still be a bit bumpy with covid as we learn to “live” with it. I think it’s going to be up and down in terms of on campus experience, but the trend will be good. I think 2023 will start looking back to normal.
      It’s been a tough few years but will be worth it. Great uni, great choice.

      @@ChoosingYourUni yeah, you do have a point. Good news is I did get accepted into Melbourne, so at least I'm definitely going to attend, but the most we can do now is hope that things turn out well. It seems like a brilliant place with a really memorable campus so I'd love to spend as much of my course at the campus as possible!
      It looks for the moment that unis are trying to be on campus as much as possible, but are providing hybrid options - where you can choose to be online or in campus, or even have some like practical elements of a class on campus and the rest online (from what I've seen in applying to subjects). It'll be interesting to see if they maintain the possibility of online classes even when they aren't needed so much, when covid is less prominent.
      Thanks for your videos, they've been really helpful in me deciding on my future with uni. You're the best man, keep it up!

      Hi Justin,
      Sorry for the delayed reply, I missed your comment.
      The Government has made it clear that 1. They first want campuses reopened to students already in Australia, then 2. International students might be permitted to arrive, but will have to self-isolate for 2 weeks before rejoining classes.
      I think we'll probably know in the next 2-3 weeks if students will be allowed to commence semester 2 in Australia. The universities are definitely pushing for it....

    In my opinion the Melbourne uni colleges are halls with a bit of extra support rather than the traditional collegiate system found in Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and UHI. It’s worth considering whether $800/week of rent can be better spent.

    • @ChoosingYourUni
      @ChoosingYourUni  Pƙed 4 lety +1

      Thanks for the opinion Brett. $800/week is certainly a lot of money. I've spoken with quite a few students at universities around the country about living in colleges and most reported good, positive experiences. That was especially true when they had moved "into town" from the country in order to go to uni. All depends on having the financing available and what you're looking for in an experience at uni I guess!

      Hi there I live near there and visited the campus. My parent went to there Monash uni and Harvard in Michigan. If you want to stay n one of the colleges (houses) like trinity or Ormond they are either very expensive, offered to kids with scholarships or offered to international and rural students. The teachers there are amazing. The quality of education is above and beyond. Coming out of Melbourne uni makes you highly employable. The science courses are highly competitive with the lowest atar (Australian GPA) student taken was 96 percent (approx 6 GPA). The law courses there are amazing. do well in school, apply early and to others universities like Melbourne eg: RMIT, Monash, ANU, UNSW. Do the most to increase your chances of getting into Melbourne. They are always building things. There is going to be a train station that is at one of many entries/exits. It is really close to the cbd and there is Bourke street mall a 10 minute walk away at Swanson street. Hope this helps.

      This uni is really well known for their strong research so anything disciplines that are clinically focused will be closely linked to real world, current research in the field. For something like psych, which has evolved a lot in the past 2-3 decades, I think that’s a real advantage.

      All Australian unis cost the same for domestic students via the HECS scheme. You can defer payments until you start working so don’t need the cash upfront.
      There should be plenty of casual work in and around the uni, particularly as the economy starts to reopen after the craziness of last year.

    • @ChoosingYourUni
      @ChoosingYourUni  Pƙed 3 lety +1

      It’s impossible to give a general response to this - some students will be fine and some will not be fine. Depends on your personal capabilities and needs.
      But it’s fairly simple - if you’re not as academically strong, and NEED to work to survive, take fewer classes each semester to reduce your uni workload so you can work.
      But if you don’t need as much cash and are going fine with classes, stick with a full load of classes.
      Find the balance - it will always be a unique formula for you. A good lesson for life in general!

      My advice would be to do some Google searching with those subject names + each uni. Try to find out what active research they are conducting in those areas and pick the unis that have research areas that interest you.
      That’s because whatever unis are researching they will naturally also highlight more in their teaching (since all unis will teach the “basics”). Is that a crazy idea?

    Hey there! I really need your advice about the university.
    I received an offer letter to study in both RMIT and The University of Melbourne. I’m going to do my bachelors in computer science. I’ve done a little research and found out that uni melb’s faculty is detached with undergraduate students and also that there is no help in finding career opportunities. Whereas in RMIT, there is strong support from faculty and also good help in finding career opportunities.
    However, I really can’t decide my college based on few student reviews. I don’t know how else I can actually get a genuine suggestion. Can you please help me out here? I do not want to miss out a great opportunity like studying in The University of Melbourne.

      Congratulations, you’re choosing between two excellent unis.
      Why I WOULD go to UniMelb:
      - Australia’s most prestigious university
      - beautiful campus
      - very strong for research
      Why I WOULD go to RMIT:
      - one of the BEST unis in Australia for work integrated learning and real-world teaching and integration with business
      - strong in applied research
      - right in the middle of the CBD so HEAPS to do
      Why I WOULD NOT go to UniMelb:
      - maybe cost? I imagine it is going to be the most expensive option
      Why I WOULD NOT go to RMIT:
      - if you really don’t like being in the middle of a city
      Hope that helps!
