The facilities here are first class, with large study areas and rooms that are kept clean and looking new. No carvings on the desk or gum under the tables here. The McPherson building is quite noticeably a place for serious students, the study halls are always quite and the students are actually studying-rather than checking their Facebook. The average age of people I see walking around are in their late 20s-30s.

This will be a very controversial review…read more But I absolutely despise University of Melbourne. BIOLOGY COURSE: I almost feel insulted by how Melbourne Uni treats me as if I'm a little kid. Honestly, attending Melbourne Uni reminds of high school. No wait.. worse. Middle School. They literally hold your hand and bottlefeed you the answers. Let's take a look at the lab system. There are 2 major important parts of having labs in Biology: 1) For students to have a hands on practical experience outside of a textbook. Melbourne Uni does this fine - the lab facilities look great as well and truth be told I was really excited. I get a female boner from seeing a great looking lab. 2) TO LEARN TO WRITE LAB REPORTS. The purpose of a lab report is to get students to learn how to write one - meaning a highly detailed paper on what you did during the lab, how it impacts the hypothesis and/or theory of what you are doing, everything. Truth be told every science student will tell you that writing lab reports are a pain in the ass, but it's important. Real-life lab reports go into huge detail so anyone with the materials will be able to replicate the lab and produce the same results. How do Melbourne Uni labs work? They print out all pre-written lab reports and all the students have to do is fill in the blanks - like a 5th grade science work sheet. "Fill in your results everyone that you got from this lab!" How the hell does this prepare any students for REAL LIFE lab reports at all? WEBSITE SETUP: For a "world-class" university, Melbourne Uni's website is really a steaming pile of horse shit. Their portal system is in dire need of cleaning up and it often goes down as well. Prepare to have to call their student service help line if you need to get anything done! This happened to me twice. CLASSES: What a god-awful system of picking your classes and timetable. At my home university as well as all the other universities my friends have attended under the UC System, it is RARE that someone has a timetable clash. At Melbourne University, you're in fucking LUCK if at first try, there is no clash. I actually had to pick classes that I did not want to avoid clashes. STUDENTS: Granted, this is a blanket statement. I recognise that a lot of Melbourne Uni students are very nice and alright, but my god does the ego go to a lot of people's heads for attending "the best university in Australia". What a fucking feat! BEST UNIVERSITY IN AUSTRALIA GUYS HURR DURR. But honestly, I've met a LOT of students where their ego is overly inflated. You go to MIT? Okay, you are actually tough shit. You go to Melbourne Uni? You're a privileged kid who did alright in high school and was able to afford it. The amount of pretentious air I've heard laced onto "I go to Melbbbbourrne Unniiii" is absolutely incredible. Especially the science students - where their science courses are not difficult and the equivalent of 5th grade worksheets. To be fair to Melbourne Uni, the architecture is cool and its also in a convenient location right next to the CBD, but I didn't feel like I learned anything there. Going into STEM is supposed to keep you up late at night pulling your hair out and studying regardless of whether or not you have a social life to balance it out. Going into STEM in Melbourne Uni feels like a walk in the park. If you want an easy degree from "the best uni in Australia", go for it. If you want a challenge and actually learn shit, I recommend leaving the country.

There's a plaque on one of the older buildings at University stating: "On this site, on 21st April…read more1856, workers on this site downed tools and marched to parliament, marking the start of the eight hour movement" Something along those lines, anyway. I forget the exact wording. And that, to me, is Melbourne University in a nutshell. They're a venerable institution, with a long history and a beautiful campus. They also don't quite get it. They don't get that being on the wrong end of the eight hour movement isn't exactly something to be proud of. They're ensconced in privilege and, nowadays, in visions of profit as well. They've been doing thinks like using their position to try and subvert the ability of students to finish their studies under the partially subsidised HECS system, and there's few amenities available on the campus which aren't owned by large corporations. Still, a degree from Melbourne Uni is probably worth more than most other places in Australia, and they do have some amazing academics on staff.

Box Hill High School was one of the first schools in Melbourne to offer the Accelerated Learning…read moreProgram, where gifted students can go and take advanced classes in the subjects they want to further themselves in. It is a school that has grown upward, because it is stuck between two main roads, the train tracks, and a football reserve. So it is built up to three levels, but there is no disability access because the buildings date back to 1930. The school began as a boy's school, and eventually went co-ed. It is a public school, but because of the unique nature of the Accelerated course, it has a high reputation. The science and music programs are top range, and the teachers are willing to help where they can. The school is right on the train line, so students come literally from everywhere just to go to this school and learn.

Not only were the class rooms and lecture halls adequate to study and learn in, but The Hub is the main student advice centre, The Caf is a buzzing place to have lunch and our mid-morning coffee break was spent in the cool recesses of The Vault, an espresso bar by day, drinking bar by night. It also has a gallery, a library, a fitness centre and that's only the stuff on campus - it's right next to the State Library, it's a short walk from the Queen Vic Market and you can get anywhere using the buses, tram and train service. A great place to work, rest and play!
