r/rmit

For an incoming international PhD student (City campus), where can I find affordable accommodations near campus? I looked at the ones advertised on the RMIT website but they're all so expensive. Our stipend is only 36,245 aud per annum tax-free. This is about 750 aud p/w.

I'm looking for studios or single rooms with ensuite bath. Are there accommodations I can look elsewhere for less than 400 aud p/w? Or is it just realistically not possible unless I twin share? Any advice from locals would be helpful.

Edit: Any PhD students here? How are the opportunities for additional teaching duties (Software Engineering)?

I’m an engineering undergraduate outside Australia, and I’m currently working on a project focused on developing lower-limb prosthetics.

I’m very passionate about bioengineering, and through some research papers I came across.
Professor Yongmin Zhong at RMIT. I’ve already tried reaching out to him by email, but I was wondering if anyone here knows him personally or has worked with him at RMIT.

Is there any other good way to connect with him, or with people in his research group, rather than just sending an email?

Which university to choose among RMIT and ANU.
I am in a confusion that which to choose and where to go. For RMIT my fees is 47lakhs and for ANU it is 60lakhs. Which has more benefits for students, best faculty, options, future benefits, opportunities and how is the life in the respected cities.
Pleas give me a clarification to take the decision.

I'm doing a diploma of it, but I really hate Microslop, and all its issues are there. Is there anything I need to have that only works on Windows because, from my understanding, everything I need there is an open source free and available

I've received a conditional offer last week for my Mechanical Engineering degree but haven't recieved the results for last semester which is needed for me to enrol, should I be worried? Next semester starts in 2 weeks and I don't have classes n shi scheduled.

Hey guys i have an offer from RMIT for Bachelors of business october 2026 and monash for march 2027 Bachelors of business.

1. I dont want to waste my 6 months as a result my inclination is towards RMIT.
2. How beneficial is the RMIT practical approach.
3. Does monash get a preference during application for internships?

I want to know what are your honest thoughts as I cannot decide.

I genuinely have been taking this early break as a relaxing time period, but I go to check my assignment marks today and I failed one and the resubmission was on Friday..... I SUBMITTED IT TODAY (2 days late).... Will I be okay???? Do lecturers care about this?
I lowkey need to pass this assignment to graduate 😔 (I'm in design school btw)

Hello! Just wanting tips and advice on how to do well in this subject! Is it a difficult subject or is it considered a WAM booster? How can I do really well in this subject? What should be prioritising? What are the assignments like?
Should I not bother with the lecture/workshop and just focus on the assignments?
I'm a first year and I have been been advised to do this subject. I'm aiming for a high WAM by semester 2 because i'm wanting to transfer to a different uni.

I'll be starting my second semester of Mechanical Engineering in a few days. I'm taking applied Thermodynamics, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Design, and env & sustainability.

Semester 1 was alright (I took eng Maths along with the other three subs) but I've heard that Intro to Mech is one of the hardest units and that a lot of people fail it?

Is it heavily based on group work? If so, what are the group projects like and what do you exactly have to do? Also, how did you find the difficulty of the other units?

Any tips or advice or how you found that class would be really appreciated!

Heyyy guyss!

I am planning for the feb 2027 intake. I wanted to know about this particular course. I have heard that it has only 50% passing rate. Is it true?

I want to know about the uni and the course itself. I have an offer from RMIT and Macquarie University for the same course. So, if anybody could share some insights on both of them? I'm really confused which one to go for?

(This is my very first post here so please don't mind)

So, I'm planning to study in Rmit, but don't really know how things work there. It'll be really great if you guys can give me some tips and insights.

So I plan to join Electrical and electronics engineering course, with a partner University 'Bits' from india. How this works is, i spend 2 years in india at bits and 2 years in rmit, get a eee degree and 2 year work visa.

So, i don't really plan to stay in australia forever, it's a fabulous country indeed, but I want to explore many countries, so after settling my student loans, I plan to apply for mba at insead or something.

I really want to know how are eee placements there and how common are internships and part time jobs in engineering sector. Is fifo hiring good at rmit, or city roles are more common?

And yes, will it be worth taking an education loan of like 60k aud?

(As an Indian student asking questions, I do except some racism, but would still request you to keep it civil:)

So I'm aiming to apply for the Bachelor of Design (Animation and Interactive Media).

I submitted my portfolio for sem2 intake but they weren't able to open it. The one thing they were able to see (the storyboard) was not up to scratch. Now, going over my portfolio, I'm beginning to second guess whether the pieces I included are acceptable for what they're looking for, even though I'm very proud of them myself.

I was wondering whether I should submit another application before July 17, this time with an accessible portfolio, and if I'm allowed to do this?

Also hoping for portfolio examples, maybe some help with what kind of pieces are more likely to be accepted.

Any help would be appreciated guys, thank you.

Which is the best bank for education loan? asking Indian students already studying in RMIT and have availed student loan facility in india. please share bank name, rate of interest, collateral/non collateral etc.

hiii I need a lot of help regarding picking my major !! is chemistry really difficult, and should I pick it if I’m not considering a job in it (rather aiming for another postgrad degree) !

As an international student, I applied for Bachelor’s in Nursing, I got 7 overall and 6.5 in writing and my gwa is 85 percent, I recently applied and was wondering if I can get accepted.

I'm just wondering if it's a recommended major? And whether it has good career/industry prospects. Also I see that it doesn't qualify you to do surveying, is that an issue?

Is there anyone whos currently doing mechanical engineering at RMIT? How hard are you guys finding it. Im thinking of switching to civil.

I don't have many followers and I haven't met anyone who sometimes watches films here and there - plus I'm just logging films and sending reviews into the void.

Message me if you want to recommend films and such

the open day version and the actual experience are two different things. could be the city campus chaos, the workload, the good and bad of being in the middle of Melbourne. what's the truth you'd share if no one from marketing was listening?
