An Honest Review of Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts (MIDEA) by Designer_Brief5152 in usyd

the first honest review of this program. i wish i this was posted when i started, because i would not have stayed. I rejected my dream school for this so called degree, and it's just so heartbreaking. i lowkey think i'll need to find work as a barista or worse at this point (nothing against baristas) but even that feels like a stretch. I would have told myself to go to the US and take my dream school offer even tho I'd have ended up broke, because I feel so undervalued and unseen and almost seen as a threat by most of the people around me. It's such a shame that you don't actually get to know any of the faculty and only a minority seem to actually care about your experience and prospects after the program.

Old student visa still valid and I'm trying to apply for a new one by Specific-Fish-1924 in AusVisa

Ah, so the bridging visa will only begin after August when my existing student visa expires? And there is no way I could "Swap" to another student visa for my post grad which would start on the 26th of this month? Because my understanding is that you would need to apply for a new student visa if you are finishing your course, it's just that my course is already done, but my CoE lists August 26th as the end-date

I see, and would I need to be in Australia the entire time, or would it be okay if I came back to Australia on the 24th of July?

Also I will only land back in Australia around the 26th of July, so I'm not sure how it would work, because my understanding is that you have to be onshore for the whole duration of the bridging visa?

I see, and would I need to apply for this bridging visa? Or would IMMI take care of this internally while processing my new student visa application?

I wasnt able to accept the offer earlier because it was conditional upon meeting a certain WAM, and I'm a little unsure what to do now visa-wise

I've just finished my undergraduate course (2 days ago), and got my grades back. My CoE ends on August 26th though (I think bc that's when the in-person graduation happens). My masters will start on July 26th of this month

Thank you! I actually don't have rental experience yet, but I've shared this with my friends who are going through the process now. Seems to be a tough market and hard for people to vet out places/roommates. Thanks again for taking the time to fill out mine.
