The vibrant community in Melbourne, coupled with dedicated faculty, has not only inspired my child’s academic growth but has also fostered a profound love of learning.

A wonderful university. It's a delight to come here to attend classes and study every day. Many areas have been renovated, or are currently in the process, to allow for more space for students to sit down and study. Unimelb knows what's up! All of my lecturers and tutors are of high standard. There are also lots of club societies to suit individual tastes and make the chance to meet people. The facilities are also great - ATMs, a supermarket and lots of places to buy food. The overall atmosphere is nice too, and outside is beautiful on sunny days. I'm so happy to be spending the next 2 years here!

Overall an excellent university!!! Very understanding towards students. And takes feedbacks, which at the time I thought to be just a slight comment, quite seriously. The head of chemistry even invited me for a meeting just for a slight question/comment i made regarding the exam. They seem to be so eager to improve themselves with a humble attitude. The lecturers, professors and staff have been honestly so helpful and understanding to me, more understanding and care than I've ever got when I was at Sydney Uni.

I am astonished this University has a good reputation. My wife has been actively bullied and discriminated against, and the lecturers and department managers have proven to be a group of incompetent, heartless, power-hungry individuals. After 25 years in university education, I have never seen the kind of behaviour that lecturers and department managers think is acceptable at Melbourne Uni. I recommend all my students to go elsewhere. BEWARE OF THE BUSINESS MACHINE OF MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY.

Absolutely incredible university and a stunning campus. Excellent coffee shops and a wide array of beautiful places to sit and read. The fields make the campus feel open while the design makes everything feel easily accessible and close. Have loved my time here and every year it only gets better. I spend lots of time studying and tutoring in the design building. It has loads of seating and rooms you can book. Very student friendly place.
