STAY FAR FAR AWAY

STAY FAR FAR AWAY

RMIT is the worst university I have been to, I did my undergrad at Monash University and never had any issues. I would advise any prospective RMIT students to reconsider.

I've only done 1 semester of my Masters at RMIT and I've had more issues than my 3.5 years at Monash... To name a few issues, RMIT lecturers/tutors do not return many tests or assignments, so if you get a low mark or even a good mark, you'll never know what questions you got wrong, what mistakes you made and how to improve for next time/or for your exam.

How can we learn from our mistakes, if we don't know what our mistakes are? I emailed one of my lecturer's asking if I could come pick up my tests to review my work and learn from any mistakes I made, the lecturer replied it is university policy that he keeps the test so he couldnt help me. What kind of ridiculous policy is that?

Second issue is lecturers don't reply your emails and if they do they are very unhelpful. I emailed one of my lecturers 2 weeks ago, she still hasn't replied and I have no idea how else to contact her, she doesn't pick up her calls either...

Thirdly RMIT Connect might as well not exist, they do not reply to emails and are usually very unhelpful. I sent them an email a week ago, when they had not replied, I called them and they promised they'd reply within 24 hrs, I still haven't received a reply, its been 4 days now which is way more 24hrs in case you can't count RMIT...

Also employees at RMIT Connect are clueless about how to help, once I was on the phone for more than an hour because no one could figure out what happened to my school fees deposit.. Another time they kept transferring me to different people for ages because they weren't sure how to explain my course structure.

Guess what? After ages on the phone, they confirmed the electives I could take. After my semester was done, I was told the electives where not on my list of approved electives... and that it might affect my graduation. I had never been so angry, firstly I was never told of any list with approved electives even though I specifically asked if there was a list/map of electives for my course.

I could go on and on about the issues RMIT has but that could take days...

If you look at RMIT reviews on Product Review Australia and University Reviews Australia, you will notice majority are negative reviews (a few reviews even support my above points).
