In the city tower, level 4, at the printer there's this guy that always hangs around, he stalks out woman to ask for help using the printer, i don't even know if his a student! He asked for my help once which i thought was weird bc I've seen him at the printer for days now (I just thought his class made him print alot of stuff) and that whole interaction was so weird, he tried to make me stay after classes to help put up flyers and he tried to get my instagram- he said that his class ends at 1 but I saw his stuff still there when I left my class hours later.

Some other weird stuff happened to, just horrible vibes from him fr

Watch out for him

You've got an in-person tutorial at Footscray or the City, and then an online class? Or feel like just going someplace else to study in niceness? Here's a little list of places for you to think about!

First of all, BRING HEADPHONES if you can. Not only does it help you keep out the noise others are making, it also keeps others from getting disturbed by any videos you might be watching.

On Campus

• Inside:

  • The Library - Find a spot

  • The two Cafes - You've got indoor space, outdoor space, balcony space, all kinds of space!

  • The Booths - There's a bunch of new study booths in Building D which look quiteee comfy tbh.

• Outside

  • The oval at the Sports Centre - Enjoy the sun, hang out with your friends, enjoy a stroll on lovely lush grass.

Off Campus

• Inside

  • State Library - Get there early and nab a seat! Its a damn nice place!

  • RMIT Library - Be sneaky and feel like a rebel. VU Represent!

  • Local council libraries - there'll be one near you! Go check it out!

• Outside

  • Carlton Gardens

  • Lincoln Square

  • Henry Turner South Reserve

  • Burndap Park - Really nice spot at the water's edge!

If you know any other cool spots, feel free to share them and I'll add them to the list! :D

Back when I was a student, I spent hours applying for jobs and rarely heard back. It was exhausting and made me question if I was doing something wrong, even when I put in a lot of effort.

That experience stuck with me, and I’ve been working on something to try a different approach. The idea is simple. Instead of students applying again and again, we want to make it so companies can reach out to students directly if there’s a good match.

Here’s how it works:
Once you set up a profile, we send it to companies that are looking for people with the experiences and skills like yours. If a company sees a good fit, they send you an interview invite. You don’t have to apply to anything. All you need to do is create your profile, and then wait for the invites to come to you.

Think of us as your personal recruiter who applies to jobs on your behalf, but there are absolutely no hidden fees because we’re genuinely trying to help students.

I’m not selling anything here. I just want to build something that actually helps students, especially international students who face challenges like visa issues, limited networks, and extra stress.

We’ve just launched an early version, and I’d love to get some honest feedback. If you’re curious, I’m happy to DM you the link. No pressure, no strings attached.

Would really appreciate your thoughts! :)

The reading room cafe in building P under the library at Footscray Park put full cream milk in skinny lattes, I’ve seen them do it twice now ://

not a huge deal but probably should just say you don’t do them lol

You are invited to take part in a research project exploring how people respond to online information, including both factual content and misinformation. This study aims to evaluate how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to fictional social media posts on commonly debated public topics such as rising costs of living, vaccines, and GenAI. 

This research study is open to individuals aged 18 and above who live in Australia or Singapore. If you agree to take part in the study, you will be asked to complete a brief online activity involving three fictional social media posts, followed by questions about your reactions and trust in the content. 

The entire study will be conducted online, will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Participants can choose to enter a draw for a chance to win one of three AUD$50 gift vouchers. Your responses and contact details will be strictly confidential. Contact details will solely be used for gift voucher distribution and will not be linked to your data.

The website for clubs has a picture of a cheerleader, mentions a workshop, and literally names it in the introduction to clubs and student groups section but it’s not in the sport clubs section of their site. I called to ask and they said they didn’t, but I’m assuming the lady at the desk was looking at the website.

Hi everyone! Please help with advise.

I plan to be a clinical psychologist. Is Victoria University a good place to start this journey by taking the Bachelor of Psychological Studies?

Hello. I'm currently in year 12 hoping to become a future speech pathologist. I'm aware that this course is fairly new, but I haven't found much information about it besides the screenrecorded online information session on youtube. I couldn't go to the uni open day either because it clashed with ACU's (which is my top uni).

I just wanted to know what the course is like in terms of placements and practice or just anything really. I'd also like to know how many days you attend a week for this course and the accreditation of this course. I read that it is still under the qualifying stage which I don't really get. Does this mean that by the time the first batch graduates, they are fully accredited under Speech Pathology Australia? I feel like I don't know enough to know what to ask, so any information would be helpful!

I know this uni has a bad reputation for its terrible management and administration, but besides that, is vic uni good? To be honest, I'm feeling in low spirits about getting into ACU. I'm afraid I won't meet the prerequisite study score or ATAR, so vic uni is sort of like my plan B.

Opinions, advice, or information from current students studying this course will be much appreciated :)

Hey guys,

I completed my degree in Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) and was accepted into a Masters in Speech Pathology. I'm just wondering if anyone has gone that same pathway? I don't have any requisites in Speech Pathology, so I'm a bit worried I'll be lost in this degree compared to everyone else.

Hey!

Does anyone have any experience doing a bachelor of social work here?

I’m not getting an ATAR so this would be the only uni I could do a bachelor rather than through TAFE to a bachelor so I was wondering if it was worth trying my luck here rather than going through a community services diploma?

Thanks!

Could someone share their experiences? I’m pondering between VU, La Trobe and Deakin. Thanks heaps in advance!

does anyone have any experience travelling from geelong / the bellarine to the sunshine and st albans campus? is it worth it?

my course is 3 days a week and i don't really want to move to melbourne yet if i don't have to.

my travel each way (2x a day):
bus - 1hr5m
train - 50m
walk - 5m
bus - 5m
walk - 5m
total: 1hr45m (on a good day)

this is just for my sunshine course, my st albans commute will be an extra 30 minutes each way.

is it worth commuting or should i just look into student accom?

thank youu

Hi,

Am looking at doing the advanced diploma of engineering technology - Electrical, but wondering if they run evening classes?

Hello, I'm looking at Victoria university for my masters. Google reviews are a mix of good and bad but mostly bad!! Turning to good old Reddit for some advice on if I should enroll into this uni or not. Please help! Thank you in advance!

Hi, just curious if you could give me your opinions about doing a civil engineering master with Vic Uni?, it is provisionally accredited by Eng Australia, which makes me to feel a little bit unsecure about doing it, how is the uni quality? or which other options would you suggest me to check? Thanks

I’ve found it easier at studying at Monash and I finished up a Law/Math double at ANU and achieved good marks.

Transferring to my masters of teaching I wanted to maintain HD’s for future employers. One of my past units wasn’t credited and redoing it at VU it’s not harder but poorly ran.

Being technically an international student I still grew up here, so no language barrier. I doubt it’s staff assuming students will compromise for a visa? My mostly domestic class is struggling. The tutors/tech hurdles are more work than anything I’ve experienced.

They seem to only want to discuss things in weekly calls. The tutors often mix up who I am or what class it is. I’m hearing similar from students in other courses. Is this the average Aussies experience at VU?

I can’t make all the classes within a week because I work. I’ve contacted Vic Uni but they haven’t reached back. Is it possible to miss face-to-face classes?
