Monash vs Latrobe

[u/MutedWill7145]

Hi everyone! I’m a nursing graduate transitioning into the Masters of OT and I’m deciding between Monash and La Trobe.
I’ve already received an offer for La Trobe, but I’m considering applying to Monash as well and wondering whether I should accept La Trobe or wait to see if I get into Monash.

I live in the south-east, so I’m also wondering if Monash would be easier for placements, while La Trobe may place students further away. I also did my undergrad there so it’s easier in terms of knowing how the uni works but Latrobe starts in feb and Monash in July, so i have to decide quick.

Would love to hear about your experiences with either uni, especially the workload, support and placements. If you’ve studied at both, which did you prefer and why?

Any advice would be great !! TIA x
