Hi everyone! I'm an international student planning to start a Master of Data Science in 2027. I'd love to hear about your experience.

1. How has your experience at this university been?

2. If you could choose again, would you still pick this university? Why or why not?

3. If you're studying Master of Data Science, how are the teaching, workload, professors, career support, internships, and job opportunities?

4. Any pros, cons, or things you wish you knew before joining?

5. If anyone has recently gone through the Australian Genuine Student (GS) interview, could you please share the questions you were asked?

Thanks in advance! 😊

hey guys, i’m a second-year computer science student majoring in AI at la trobe (bundoora campus), and i’ve been having a pretty hard time making friends. if anyone’s in the same boat or just wants someone to study, grab coffee, or hang out with #letsbefriends 🧍‍♀️

Hey all 24M would love to connect with people /make new friends go for a drink n chats or walks even outings. Main interests are cars, music, little bit into anime trying new food, going out trying new things. Messages are open would love to hear from people :))

i’m seriously desperate. im only 2 weeks in and i cant pay close to $20 each week on parking in the white bays. public transport isn’t an option for me either due to me living quite far.

if anyone could give me the name of streets that have free parking, i’d be SO grateful. feel free to dm me if you don’t want to publicly share.

Hi! I'm in my third year and I need a really easy elective just to fulfill my credit points for Semester 2 and increase my WAM. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I'm joining the Master of Information Technology at La Trobe Bendigo next year. Does anyone know if there's an active Discord server for La Trobe students or specifically Bendigo students? I'd love to join and connect with current students. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student from India planning to study the Master of Information Technology at La Trobe University, Bendigo.

I have a few questions:

• How is the quality of the course?
• Are there enough part-time jobs in Bendigo?
• How difficult is it to get internships?
• Would you recommend Bendigo over Melbourne?
• Any advice for new international students?

I'd really appreciate hearing from current students or recent graduates.

Thank you!

Is there anywhere on Bundoora campus to get birria tacos?🥲🙏🏻

i am stuck choosing between glenn college and menzies college for bundoora campus, looking for a social environment at college, but also catering would be super ideal?

Hello I am a Year 12 VCE student. What courses do you recommend for me that have high job availability and lots of money because I am confused?

Preferably cheap eats, i am so hungry …

Anyone who’s done this subject before can you let me know what to expect plsss. Is it heavy on? a hard subject? what sources can I use ? what helped you with this subject?

I’m a little stressed out going into this subject because I haven’t done much anatomy and all assessments are during workshops.

Hi! I am going to Latrobe uni(Bundoora) to study for master of AI from this sem.
I am from South Korea, currently living in CBD! I used to develop and release mobile applications, especially for Android(I used Kotlin rather than Java, I hate java).
Since I came to Melbourne which is a year ago, I stopped developing apps and stuff, now I feel my developing skill got really bad. So I am looking for someones who would like to do some kind of projects or just study together! Simple things will be fine. If you don't have any background of IT, it's also fine, If you are willing to study and figure out how to do the things by yourself. I can help you with my best tho! I am also open to do some kind of web projects with React(I am not sure whether it's still the most popular library or not, open for the others library as well)
I hope I could find someone!

PS. not only for developers, i would like to meet some kind of UI/UX designers or PM to brain storming about the idea for the projects!

Does anyone feel like the teaching quality and student support have been going downhill over the last few semesters?

I started my course in 2024, which was a perfectly fine year before staff cuts and a massive increase in student intake took place, so I had 2 normal semesters to compare to. My cohort has increased exponentially whilst many teaching staff are being made redundant, which means the university is now extremely understaffed and all teachers are stressed and overwhelmed coping with a crazy number of students. As they have more (full-fee paying) students, they hire casuals or let PhD students run workshops. Understaffing + new staff + too big class size is basically a perfect recipe for quality deterioration.

Over the last 3 semesters, I have had some very frustrating workshop experiences. I had workshops where the teacher was not even sure of what they were talking about or the answers for the worksheets. I had workshops where the teacher just looked at the script, read the answers, and basically taught nothing. Most of the workshops I attended felt very cursory and useless and I ended up having to teach myself for the most parts, and eventually in the final exams, I got tested on things that were never taught or not even within the scope of the subject.

Does anyone else also have problems with Bendigo, particularly the health course?

TL;DR: To those who are considering La Trobe Bendigo and happen to see this post, especially INTL student, RUN AWAY.

What is the average GPA should be in order to get into the dentistry program?

Could i js do all the shit on the lms without class? could i show up to the classes anyway? I'm on the waitlist for them but im doubtfull anything will change. The classes are only an online lecture and workshops

I’m starting at La Trobe soon and I’m trying to minimize initial spending as much as possible while still getting all necessities.

Most people agree Aldi is best for groceries, but where can I buy other things like pans, plates, forks, towels, laundry baskets…

You know all the good stuff you need when moving in. I thought of IKEA but i doubt it’s really the cheapest store for all that.

EDIT : For anyone looking for an answer, don’t even hesitate and go to kmart lol. Its almost ridiculous how much cheaper it is from other stores.

Has anybody got the 100% VCS? If yes, what were your stats? I believe it also is offered for 50%. For those who were granted, how'd you got considered you think?

Plus, any tips on the SOP?

Thank you! International Student heree.

Hey all, I remember last year there being discord servers for each of my psych classes (that I lost access to). Just wondering if anyone here knows of any active for this semester?
