“I have had only good experiences in Melbourne. Everyone is so helpful, which makes it easier for students to settle into the environment and feel like they belong. Although the (Melbourne) Bundoora campus is so big, it is still easy to find your way around. It looks like a small city: busy during the lectures and relaxing during the breaks. There are always people around to talk to”
