Being a [higher education student](https://www.forbes.com/sites/francesbridges/2018/04/28/the-5-best-life-tips-for-college-graduates/#28ecd8295a83) is quite a unique experience. And the reality is that for each and every individual to go through that experience, how they perceive and navigate that chapter of their lives differs drastically from any other individual who has been through the higher education system. This is true across the board and around the globe. Not everyone finds their right next step by choosing to go to university, however for me I knew that university was going to be the best chance that I had to be able to get to where I wanted to be professionally as well as broadening my horizons both academically and intellectually.

Ultimately, I chose to go to Monash University. This is a university that has had a fantastic reputation for quite some time, however I was very aware that often what happens at universities puts their best foot forward publicly and then students find themselves in an environment that is lacking in one way or another. Now, a few years in, I can say with absolute certainty and confidence that Monash University has been everything that I expected it to be and then some. This is a university that is wholeheartedly dedicated to exceeding expectations of students while also providing them with the highest quality of education.

**My experience has been beyond expectations**

For me, my [university experience](https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/22/the-great-learning-curve-how-to-improve-your-study-habits) has been [beyond expectations](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/matthew-ogbeifun/20-tips-to-help-you-ace-y_b_6017086.html) in the wildest and best of ways (for the most part, that is). Of course, there have been challenges. The entire ultimate goal of higher education, of course, is challenging. So, this was to be expected. However, what I have found more than anything else is that my experience has been beyond expectations and terms of the rewarding processes that I have been through and the foundational efforts have been made possible through my perseverance and hard work over the years. Monash University has exceeded every expectation I had and then some.

**Why Monash will always be a special place to me**

For me, this is one of the many reasons that Monash will always be a very special place for me. I came here as a freshman having no idea how to navigate the field that I wanted to eventually build my career in and as I prepare to graduate, I am stepping into that career field with more confidence and self awareness then I ever thought was going to be possible and such a relatively short time. The preparedness and opportunities that Monash University have given me have been some of my fondest memories and one of the greatest assets of this fantastic campus. and this will forever be one of the biggest reasons that I know I will always treasure Monash University exponentially.

**The value of a campus like Monash University**

Of all the advantages and benefits of choosing to go to school anywhere in the country, most of them for me wait up with my values of wanting to stay close to home while also achieving independence. Rather than spending a dime on [interstate vehicle transport](https://automover.com.au/) each and every month just to make it home or travel while I have a short break in my schedule, I have chosen to stay close to home so that I can build my own life while also being able to take a quick twenty minute trip down the road to see my family whenever I would like to. The value of having a campus like Monash University so close to home is one of this University's most important assets for me (and many other students around here). And it is one of the things that I will remember most fondly of my time here. |
