The Pros and Cons of Studying at Monash University - An Independent Review by Choosing Your Uni

I'm back on campus at Monash University but... I'm feeling nervous. Every time I walk around a corner, I'm expecting trouble.
It's strange to be strolling around one of Australia's nicest campuses, one of its most reputable universities, and to be feeling uncomfortable about it. But I have a good reason for my discomfort and I'll tell you that story as we walk around campus!
In this video we're going to dive into some of the strengths and weaknesses of Monash, the pros and cons of why it may (or may not!) be the right university for you.
We'll talk about facilities, industry connections, rankings, student services and much much more, all while checking out what the campus looks like.
Is this the right university for you?
Hopefully be the end of this video you'll be a little closer to answering that question!
I love your questions - so don't be afraid to ask me anything down below and I'll get back to you!

Love your videos, really informative !! The best in terms of getting to know a Uni. Thank you!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Cheers! - R

Hi, Rob! I was really excited when I saw the update! Super informative!! I even applied to three unis after watched your videos! Thank you. Now, I got accepted in uq and usyd (I haven't got any news from monash sadly), and I really need your update to help me choose the best for me. Please do updates for both uni, too☺️ THANK YOU SO MUCH ROB KEEP ON GOING!!!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Hi! I'll get back to USyd this year. The UQ review is pretty recent (last year, I think?) so is pretty current. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@tibrizmaulidya]

Woah, thank you so much! I can't wait to see the videos! I've rewatched the UQ video. You've helped me a lot. Thank you for the response, too, Rob! ☺️

[@putfika7944]

I’ve been at Monash for a year and so far I enjoy it. Great student events and class learning. But yeah, it’s 40min away from city. Anw, thank you for your contents, they helped me for choosing my uni 😂

[@ChoosingYourUni]

🙌🙌🙌

[@viralmotivate]

plz do an updated one for UNSW

[@androbonoan4838]

Yes!!!! Pls do one too for UNSW

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Good idea!

[@anikadesai3]

Hello Rob! Thanks for these videos, they're great. I was hoping you'd make one for macquarie seeing that it has jumped from 250 to 130 in world uni rankings and placed 10th in australia if I'm not mistaken. What are your thoughts on doing a bachelor of applied finance and bachelor of IT at macquarie?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

That's good to know. I generally won't update videos just because of rankings because they can bounce around and, tbh, rankings are only one small part of the puzzle when it comes to choosing a uni. On Applied Finance/IT, I'm very positive about those at MQ. The Applied Finance program is very well reputed, and mixing that with IT is a great combo.

[@pateldev6250]

Hello rob. Your video are very informative and fun to watch thank you for reviewing can you say that which is best city to live from Adelaide or Melbourne in compare to education and job markets

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Thanks! It's hard to say without knowing your specific interests. Melbourne is a much bigger city, meaning there are more businesses and work opportunities, but the cost of living is also higher. Some people find Adelaide "quiet", because it is much smaller, but I really love it. Both cities have excellent university options, so I'd really consider what kind of overall experience you're looking for.

[@ChandrikaMutnani]

Love your videos!!! Would like to ask a question, I am planning to do Bachelor of Commerce and have got offer letters from Uni Adelaide and Queensland and Macquarie, which one is a good university for an Accounting major and CPA Aus

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Accounting is a fairly standardised program across the country because of the accreditation requirements. Overall, I'd probably go UQ, MQ, UoA, but that's also based on my personal preferences: I really love Brisbane as a student city atm, and UQ is just fantastic. MQ has an excellent business program and is in a thriving part of the city with lots of work/internship opportunities.

[@athuls.s2090]

Hey, got offer letter from monash and unsw for masters in international business. Could you suggest which one would be best for business courses

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Both are strong, reputable institutions.

[@haruyanto8085]

Whichever is more convenient/affordable for you, UNSW is regarded a bit higher but it's not a huge difference

[@aaronsamuela8049]

Hey rob, I've got an offer to study Masters in IT from Monash and UNSW. Which would you suggest

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Two great unis. Sydney and Melbourne are very different cities, so I’d look at that as a consideration.

[@ananyanraj]

My friend wants to do MS in Project Management i for this year’s July 2024 intake. Which uni is better considering job opportunities, cost of living, lifestyle, good exposure to industry? ( He has Shortlisted RMIT and Adelaide as of now)

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Hard to say - both degrees are really good. Melbourne and Adelaide are quite different cities - Melbourne probably has more opportunities, but also higher cost of living.

[@suryasuryaks6653]

I am Surya, and I am confused about choosing a university for my master's in electrical engineering. I got an unconditional offer from Monash and RMIT, but I do not know which is better. RMIT has a wide range of subjects to choose from, while in Monash you can choose only one subject in the year on your own; the remaining 3 subjects are compulsory. Which university is best for me? I mainly seek industry-oriented knowledge for my future career. Both universities have their pluses. i really need clear advice and your experience, to make a decision, so please kindly help me here

[@binod-hg3sm]

Hi Rob! I've got offer from University of Adelaide (Master of strategic communication) and University of Canberra (Master of communication with specialization in either marketing communication or startegic communication) so which one would u suggest and pls let me know why I'm super confused..PLS help me

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Hmmm, both good options imo. Hard to say which I'd recommend without knowing more about your goals and interests. UoA obviously Go8 so great reputation overall, and Adelaide is a lovely city - a bit bigger and more lively than Canberra, which is REALLY quiet on the weekends, but has a nice outdoor lifestyle. UC has a strong communications faculty, Adelaide the stronger business faculty imo. Overall, if I were choosing for myself and had no other restrictions in terms of money, goals etc, I'd pick UoA over UC. That said, UC has been storming ahead in recent years... but overall, still UoA for me. (But that's me, not you, of course!)

[@binod-hg3sm]

@@ChoosingYourUni 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..

[@haruyanto8085]

​@@binod-hg3smneither tbh, but marketing is great if you pair it with another strong major

[@basimbasimsim]

Hello Rob. Love your uni reviews, very informative. I am looking forward to join Uni of Western Australia for Masters in Business Analytics, also have an offer from Uni Adelaide. Which one would you suggest?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Perth is one of my favourite cities in Australia. UWA for me personally.

[@basimbasimsim]

@@ChoosingYourUni Many thanks :)

[@santhwanapradeep3355]

Hi, i want to do a law degree and have gotten offers from UNSW and monash. Which one do you think i should choose?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Two excellent degrees and institutions. Hard to make a suggestion without knowing your specific interests and goals.

[@bathulamaurya1355]

Lol, right when needed 👍🏼

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Awesome!

[@crudeboxing]

Hi! Would love a video on universities social. life. Australia has a reputation of having commuter schools but would love to see which ones are most famous for parties and social life!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

That's a really good question. Certainly the bigger universities in the major capitals have busier and more active campuses and social life, but I reckon there are some surprises out there. I'm working on a new project for Choosing Your Uni, so will be sure to include this!
