Overall
I wish I had known...
Ballarat is quite a racist redneck town and foreigners are not quite welcome. It frequently happened that internationals with darker coloured skin got beaten up by the locals.

Personal recommendation
The uni is making a great effort to make your stay a pleasent one and they are trying hard to keep up some standard, but I think it is just a cultural thing about the ozzies. They are quite lazy....

Final comments
Australia is a good choice if u want to explore this continent. My experiences so far are traveling to tasmania and scuba diving on the great barrier reef. Certainly things u dont do at home. But the Ballarat people do not fancy strangers. Also the youngsters at campus have developed a huge drinking culture, with "Social functions" once or twice a week. If u dont like excessive drinking, staying on campus is not a very wise decision....

This is a worst university.There are lecturers who mostly psychopaths here.ITMS-Information Technology,Mining.Mostly Senior lecturers are Australians and tutorial lecturers are Indian with a horrible english. You need paitence if you want to study 2 years here.The Indian community is pretty annoying and odd.Its difficult and deal ,study with Amatuers in this University.

Life Experience
Worst Bus service here and Commercial areas are ready to close at any time.Its easy to get accomodation but difficult to be with Indians here.There are no student union here.University accomodation is the worst.Please dont ever try to get into that locality.Its a waste of money.Most of the students are treated like convicts
Rating:
Job Prospects
No jobs in this town. If you get jobs,its not worth working in the restuarant. There is an IBM company here in which they recruit non IT people for Helpdesk,its very odd. Ballarat and University of Ballarat is not a place to live and study.. If you decide to come here and please be ready to face all these. There is no exposure or community to interact.
