What students say

Students commonly cite Monash’s Group of Eight reputation and research strength as a major draw, along with well-regarded infrastructure and labs. The scale of the university is a recurring theme — some describe it as impersonal in large first-year units, while others appreciate the range of clubs, societies, and support services that come with a bigger cohort. Scholarship and application processes are generally described as clear and well organised.
