Hi Rob! I really enjoyed your previous review of the University of Sydney. I watch all your videos and find them super helpful. I was wondering if you could do an updated review or share if there's anything new happening there recently. Thanks a lot!

[@MoeTea4U]

Hi Rob, I am So happy you found three students. That went there because of you! Remember for those future students to go to Open days and don't be afraid to ask your future teachers questions on what you'll be learning and what they have to offer in the way of facilities and support, if you either A fall behind or just need help writing essay's.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Epic advice - thanks for putting that up here for people!

[@darkalligraph]

It's so surreal having watched your first review of the University of Melbourne mere months ago when I was still deciding which university to go to, and now actually being here and recognising all these places on campus that you've visited - the study spaces, courtyards and lecture halls, that I now come to daily. Thanks for making these, Rob. They really were helpful at such a crucial stage following Year 12.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Glad to hear that! If you wanted to share your story in a vid interview, dm me on IG @choosingyouruni. Would love to hear more.

[@darkalligraph]

@@ChoosingYourUni Oh alright, that sounds great! I will dm you in the coming days then.

[@giacbejo9920]

why did you choose unimelb? I want to do a master degree next year in AUS, but I'm so damn undecided between uni of queensland and UNIMELB

[@binod-hg3sm]

thank you so much Rob..Would u pls tell me which field is in in demand in Australia? PR or marketing? since both the courses I opted for is related to these fields..

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Not too sure about that. Marketing is really broad so I think it depends what you specialise in. Anything touching on digital, AI and other future focused marketing areas would be hard to beat imo

[@Elle-nv8gg]

Hi! I’m planning on to do data science from either uni of Melb or Sydney. Which one would you recommend? I plan to do dual (other being software development for bachelors)

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Uni of Melbourne VS Uni of Sydney kzbin.infoBTTZUqj0Hh4?feature=share

Hey Rob, I was thinking about studying at unimelb in 2026 and I was really excited before, but now that I’ve seen a lot of people also saying a lot of bad things about it, I have become slightly worried about whether I should go. I want to have an assured future so that’s probably why I’m reconsidering. But I feel like unimelb would’ve been a great fit for me. I want to study graphic design (B.des) could you give me advice on whether I should go? Whether this is still a good idea?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Choosing a uni? Only YOU know you #uni #studyinaustralia #highereducation

[@promobilelegendplayer]

Great! Thanks for the video. I have applied for masters in civil engineering in monash and university of Melbourne. Which of these two would you suggest me? Could you please let me know? Thanks!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Two excellent unis and programs. Hard to make a suggestion without knowing your specific interests and goals, but I personally would lean towards Monash for engineering.

[@promobilelegendplayer]

@@ChoosingYourUni thanks for your reply. Means a lot!

[@diaryduck]

Hi Rob as now I have got an offer from both of master information system from the university of Melbourne and business information system from monash. In terms of the course outline, there is similar. Could you please suggest? Which one I should go for? And does unimlb study harder than Monash?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Both awesome unis 👍

[@Engineer0123]

I plan to take masters in Computer Science but I am not sure yet which one is better between UniMelb and UNSW especially when it comes to its graduate employability? I am hopeful for your suggestion please, thanks a lot :)

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Both have awesome employability outcomes overall, but remember that every single job ever hired was for an individual - it's about YOU, not just about the uni you studied at. That's why having lots of stuff on your resume is so important: internships, volunteering, learning abroad, leadership, hobbies etc etc etc.

[@brickclit4life]

UniMelb looks like a good place to go to for my masters but I’m worried about the housing crisis since I already have my own unit in Sydney and I’m worried moving would make me start all over finding a place.

[@ishaanverma5765]

Just do masters in Univeristy of Sydney or UNSW

[@ChoosingYourUni]

What masters are you looking at? Melbourne has less of an issue than Sydney because they constructed a tonne of inner city apartments. It's about $100/week cheaper than Sydney (on average).

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Could be good advice depending on the topic.

[@anjukumari-zm1pt]

I am currently planning to pursue masters in AI in Australia ,I have applied to Monash,University of Adelaide,UTS,RMIT,University of Sydney. Can I know which school is good for AI.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

For me, I like UTS and Monash for those, but all those unis have good programs.

[@mrzach728]

What do I need to get my student VISA??

[@rohithasirigiri355]

Iam currently planning for masters and i applied for monash and uni melbourne can u suggest me the best for electrical engineering

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Two excellent unis 👍
