Hi guys, I am an international student, and I want to apply for ANU, however, I have heard from many of my Australian friends and residents that many universities like Uni Melb are not worth the hype. I have similar concerns over ANU. Although their website mentions that they are globally recognised, yet I have been having apprehensions from accepting their offer letter.

Is the university really worth all the things they've mentioned they are recognised for ?
Can ANU be really stressful for students and not that enjoyable for students ?
Is the city itself boring ?
Is it wise to pursue a double degree at the university ?

I will be grateful for all those who help me find the answers to these questions.
Thank you very much !
