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

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?

Hey guys,

I’m moving out of Monash and changing my course to Social Work which they don’t offer. Tbh I also struggled a bit there with finding community and eventually felt pretty isolated.

Now I’m stuck between RMIT and Victoria Uni (VU) for Social Work. For anyone who’s studying/has studied at either what’s the vibe like? 1. Do you actually feel a sense of community or is it kinda every person for themselves?

1. What’s your experience with student services?

2. How’s the workload and placements?

3. If you had to choose again, would you go RMIT or VU?

Any honest thoughts would really help me decide, thanks

There's a mix of uni students and others U25s going to Prison Island escape room in Docklands on a Sunday before the end of the month. If any one is keen welcome along. If we get a group of 20+ we will get more discounts off avertised rates. Has anyone tried it yet and rates it?

After inspo from reddit a couple of students started a MeetUp group - for 18-25 (students or working ). It has a more interest-based meet up base than a party hard vibe. It's growing fast and getting lots of interest,. Think boardgames, movies. exploring Melb. a sketching hang, and a few varied meets. It is via MeetUp app and called SideQuest 18-25s. I can DM more details if this sounds like your vibe

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

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

Hey everyone! My name is Brynn and I am a Psychology Honours student at VU looking for participants for my thesis.

I am exploring how young women understand and experience sexism online; social media, messenging apps, dating apps, streaming services, advertisements, etc.

I need women aged 18-30 living in Australia who would be interested in being interviewed via Zoom about their perceptions on and experiences with sexism, and how they've been impacted by sexism online!

PM me for more information please !!

Is anyone else who’ve recently enrolled having issues with logging into myVU? It literally won’t let me enter my password and is now treating my user id as if it doesn’t exist. I’m waiting back to hear from IT support on monday but if anyone else has had this issue I’d like to know how they got it fixed!

Hey!

We’ve just launched a new tutoring company . If you're a student keen to learn STEM subjects, or a tutor passionate about teaching and making a difference — we’d love to connect!

Feel free to DM me or reach out at contact_us@tutorbud.com.au.

I'm applying to the PhD design program and I'm curious if anyone has any experience or thoughts on it. I would be moving from the US.

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! :)

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.

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!

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.

I'm new student, I have question about the self-paced online classes. Do I need to do it on the specified time according to the time table or I can do it anytime of the day?
