What is it like to study PhD in Finance at the University of Melbourne?

1. Beautiful environment and good location

The location is good because it is right on the edge of Melbourne city. Apart from the city, Melbourne only has large rural areas. It may take a long time to study in other schools. After entering the city once, I was tired from studying at the University of Melbourne and wanted to go shopping. I took a two-stop tram and arrived at the bustling business district in five minutes (but the area around the University of Melbourne was still very quiet).

I have always felt that the beautiful environment is The campus of the University of Melbourne is very beautiful and has the atmosphere of ancient art (pictured above)

2. Campus benefits

There is a free buffet breakfast in the restaurant before 10 am every Thursday morning and various kinds at least once a week The club grills BBQ on campus and lines up to eat for free. During the final exam review period, free coffee, hot chocolate, tea, biscuits, etc. are provided at the entrance of the library at around 8 o'clock every night (this is really touching). And the library is so comfortable. Pictures of various sofas

3. Strong teachers

After all, it is the number one university in Australia (some are ranked number two and number one is ANU). The teachers at the university are all kinds of great people. I This semester, one of the teachers is a PhD from Princeton and the other is a PhD from Cambridge. However, because teachers from various cultural backgrounds often encounter teachers with various strange accents (Russian, Japanese, Indian, European, uh... Chinese), it is just a good way to practice listening. I got used to it after listening to it

4. Eat and drink

Personally, I think the food is pretty good. The food court in the school has Western food (sandwiches, salads, pizzas) Mexican food, Japanese food, Southeast Asian food, Chinese food ( There is a noodle shop at the University of Melbourne which is very good) etc. You can also eat Malatang Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles (extremely authentic) around the school, etc.

The University of Melbourne has more than ten cafes on campus alone (poster The love for coffee is infinite) You can buy coffee wherever you go and advertise it. Melbourne has defeated Rome, Vienna and other cities that are rated as having the best coffee in the world

There is also a coffee shop next to the University of Melbourne. There is one of the best cafes in Melbourne (some people think there is no such one) called Seven Seeds.

Doesn’t it look like a prison cell from the outside? In fact, it’s really unique inside and the waiters are very noble and cool

Disadvantages

1. Tuition is expensive

The first thing must be The tuition fees are so expensive. I’m really distressed. I’ve never heard of any school in Australia with tuition fees that are more expensive than ours. It’s basically impossible to get scholarships for undergraduates

2. The source of students is complicated

There are students who can go to Fudan and Zhejiang University in China, and there are also students who can't even pass three exams in China (generally, there are some in prestigious schools who don't know how they got in, but they may counterattack later)

< p>Of course, the students selected locally in Australia must be the best students. If you tell the locals that you are studying at the University of Melbourne, everyone will usually say you must be very smart.
