Hi, tchaikno6,
Here's some responses for you.
1. Students travel to the Monash Clayton campus from all around Melbourne on a regular basis. It is possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle between study, work and personal life. To connect with other students and for advice on how to transition into university life, visit:
http://www.monash.edu/study/student-life.
2. Most of our merit-based scholarships do not require a separate application to be submitted. Eligible applicants who apply for a Monash course through VTAC will automatically be considered.
One exception to this is the ‘Monash Communitiy Leaders Scholarship’, where it is awarded based on academic achievement, Access Monash Mentor application and interview performance. To be considered for this scholarship, you need to apply to become an Access Monash Mentor by 31 October 2017
You can view the range of scholarships we offer at:
http://www.monash.edu/study/fees-scholarships/scholarships/find-a-scholarship.
3. There are a couple of opportunities available to students who wish to study overseas with Monash University, Monash Exchange, or Semester Study Abroad.
Through Monash Exchange, we have student exchange agreements with over 150 partner universities in more than 30 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa – meaning studying a semester or two in places like Norway, South Africa, Japan, Germany and Mexico is easier than you think.
In instances where Monash Exchange is not an option, Semester Study Abroad allows you to study one semester, or one year, at an overseas institution that does not have an exchange agreement with Monash. For further information regarding the Independent semester study abroad experience, visit:
http://www.monash.edu/study-abroad/outbound/exchange/independent-study.
4. High achieving students can participate in an Industry based learming opportunities through many of our degrees, including the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Computer Science double degree.
Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities through the Monash Business School includes activities such as work placement, internships or clinical rotations. For further information, visit:
http://www.monash.edu/career-connect/jobs/employability/work-integrated-learning/business-economics.
Admission into the Industry Based Learning for students studying the Bachelor of Computer Science is based on a range of eligibility criteria, including your academic results, and interviews with our IBL partners. Selection criteria include: communications skills, maturity, enthusiasm, initiative, leadership qualities, extra-curricular interests and participation, academic performance, previous exposure to paid work, and career interests. For further information, visit:

3. For exchanges, are you limited to the exchange partners on the website or is it common for students to find their own exchange opportunities
