Honestly, I did not enjoy the morning classes where I had to get up early in the morning. But that’s over now, we are in another semester now. The quality of education is good. I did not want to go to uni straight away so I chose TAFE, and today I think, I had made the right choice.
I applied through VTAC after completing school.
The fees are already lower compared to international students. I paid full fees for this course, didn’t go for scholarships.
The atmosphere at VU was warm and nice. I am studying Hospitality at Footscray Campus. We have a big class and we are divided into several groups who attend classes on a different time table, this gives us more space and teachers attention. The best part of hospitality is that when your partner is impressed by your cooking. Of course, we have to study and we have theory bit as well but its not stressful. The teachers are good and the course is a value for money.
We have Terrace Restaurant where the students cook and serve food. It is accessible by the staff and students. There is huge range of courses to be chosen from. I have actively taken part in social events by organizing trips and tours. It’s nice to meet new students and take a break from studies. I live in the city and the campus isn’t very far usually takes around 15 minutes to reach the campus. I am working as a cook part time and in and around the year we have major events. It is up to the students to find out about such events, find jobs and participate. Recently, we had the Australian Open where I worked and so far I consider it to be the best time I ever had. So once you arrive here keep an eye out for job opportunities.
Definitely, the diploma will increase my job prospects. Also, we can go to uni to get a degree with some credits. But I have decided to work full time as a chef after I finish my diploma, there are lot of opportunities for the passionate ones.
