ratingOverall experience

Part time evening students have a bit of trouble with some things like paying library fines, enrolling, getting classes that are late enough, seeing a counseller etc. because everything is geared towards day students except the library. You really need to take time off work to do a lot of these little things, or organise to leave work early for some of the classes. It's far easier to be a day student.

ratingSelection process and gaining admission

Very easy. I didn't have the mark for the course I wanted so I enrolled in a different course, worked hard for a year, got good grades and was able to transfer. All the classes I'd done in that first year also counted towards the transfer degree because you get leway in a lot of the courses to do some electives that aren't necessarily course related.

ratingFunding and scholarships

Very easy to pay as you go or organise HECS and you can call as a part time or evening student and get phone advice if you are lost.

ratingYour study experience

Again, being an evening student is a problem because there are few subjects that do evening classes if you want to study on campus rather than by correspondence. You still can which is great, it's just limited. It would help if they had late night facilities on a Thursday night or something so you could pay library late fees and see a counsellor or the numeracy centre or whatever one evening a week.

ratingJob prospects

Pretty good as far as I'm aware, but I haven't graduated so haven't really looked into it.
