Hello! You vídeo brings back my memories of my student life in University of Sydney 30 year ago as an oversea student.

[@felixchavero1435]

Love your videos! Are you ever going to do a video for student accommodations? It would be very helpful, especially for international students.

[@ShaneHuang88]

Ill consider that for sure

[@ThatStudentLifeAustralia]

Eng/Commerce kids were always top notch during my undergrad at USYD, nice video mate.

[@ShaneHuang88]

Thanks for the support Shay! I used to watch your vids on uni and loved them! Was a little sad to see you stopped posting :(

[@ThatStudentLifeAustralia]

The Academic Hacker Awesome mate, glad you got something out of them! I felt like I had said pretty much everything I wanted to say but you never know, it could return haha. Looks like you have everyone covered for content though, keep it up!

[@happymonkey9416]

Wow, I had no idea lectures were pre-recorded and not live!

[@ShaneHuang88]

it depends on the course, most are live but some are pre-recorded from previous years!

Hey, nice video. Do you think Usyd or UNSW is better for eng/com? (mech/space & inance)

[@anjanakarthik6082]

Hi, I just had one doubt. Do you have exams every term in the university of sydney or is it only in the final term?

[@ShaneHuang88]

Every semester!

I'm also an immigrant and have been here for around 5 years but my english is still trash T^T. Do u have any tips for improving comprehension, vocab and writing?

[@ShaneHuang88]

Hi I came to Australia when I was 3 years old haha, I guess just read more and talk to more people to get better :)

how’s the social life in the halls? is it a nice environment/place to make friends? does it hold up to the reputation of being full of international students? i feel like i might feel a bit out of place

[@ShaneHuang88]

Its quite nice, but I didn't go to one in sydney

[@ISHFLY]

I have a question sir. Can we do aviation in USYD? If not then is there any good universities in audtralia for aviation.

[@ShaneHuang88]

Sorry, tbh I'm not sure about this one. I suggest checking out some uni websites :)

[@tinynoob23]

this is my dream university... i hope i get in after year 12. no! i WILL get in!

[@ShaneHuang88]

You will!

[@harjotbhui6930]

You definitely will mate. I graduated HSC last year (2019), and this was the only UNI I had in mind throughout my HSC, it kept me motivated and now I'm studying here :D

[@foundation3848]

Hi. I'm planning to take up comsci and commerce in usyd since I got an offer, but a lot of online videos and comments r criticizing the course and social life in usyd.. So I'm now undecided between usyd n unsw. Can you enlighten me on these rumors? Like how true are they? Thanks a lot bro cheers

For masters in electrical engineering which university is best Usyd or UNSW?

Hi @The Academic Hacker. I'm a prospective student of this university. I'm interested in the program Engineering & Commerce(honours).Would you mind stating the review and quality of this course?Thanks in advance

[@ShaneHuang88]

ok!

[@chrislau9640]

Is it a good idea to live on campus as a international student ? What is the living cost in Sydney ? Thank you !

[@ShaneHuang88]

Private accomodation is generally cheaper in Sydney (like half the price of student colleges on campus) and Sydney isnt too expensive :)

[@chrislau9640]

What is your suggestion for non- college accomodation ?

[@ShaneHuang88]

@@chrislau9640 I'd say find a private room to rent or maybe a flat with friends

You are choosing the right university in Australia because you are diligent

[@ShaneHuang88]

lol not sure really haha

[@antoniojrcalago5564]

Hahah it is true, knowing that university of Sydney is one of the best and high standard institution not just in Australia but to the world all over. So it means that each student in that university is diligent.

[@Chow_Time]

Are there dining halls with meal plans at USYD? What would you recommend for someone coming internationally?

[@ShaneHuang88]

Yes most Usyd Colleges have meals provided but they are a bit more expensive than living privately. I haven't been living in any but St Pauls Ive heard is quite popular.

[@Chow_Time]

@@ShaneHuang88 If I lived in private accommodations, do you know if I could still get a meal plan at a college?

[@lavaboy1565]

can i ask what u studied at imperial college? Also how is the workload for engineering/commerce?

i studied mech eng over there as part of the exchange. Its quite heavy but managable :)

[@mathsfun10]

Hi, I may attend to the business degree as an international student at the university of sydney next year. (i study ib diploma in the uk btw) I saw many negative reviews about this university for some reason even though it's well known in Australia. Some say the teaching quality is poor compared to ivy league unis or russell group unis, and others say it's too easy to get into there compared to those mentioned group unis and therefore it't not prestigious. Although the university ranking for business management at USYD is around 46 in the world. Here is the question; What's the position of the business management student at USYD in terms of the academic level? Also, what's your general view about this university? Is this university about as good as UCL or LSE or KCL... if you know? (those are the top unis in london.) Sorry for a lot of questions! Hope you see this comment!

[@Qatarboii_official]

Do international students who apparently happen to have a 4.8 GPA, get some sort of scholarship that covers the entire fee? Please answer❤ P. S I subscribed:)

[@ShaneHuang88]

Thanks for the sub! That i'm not entirely sure, there should definitely be scholarships available for internationals and I'd suggest checking their website to see what they are looking for :)

[@yoriinsi4265]

Hey! I think it's a really nice video! And I will be studying in usyd on August, any recommendation on searching cheaper private accommodation? Any websites that could be useful maybe? Thank you and goodluck!

[@ShaneHuang88]

In sydney, private is definitely cheaper than student colleges. You can look at realestate.com for suitable rooms etc!

[@yoriinsi4265]

The Academic Hacker thank you very much! I'll definitely check on it:)
