RUN! Do not walk far, far, FAR AWAY!! Billy Blue is a failing money grubbing institution, in the time since I've been attending this educational facility to complete a diploma and bach interior design I have bared witness to international students grades being changed so they pass despite not meeting the bare minimum level of work needed.Teacher's forbidden from saying a bad thing about billy blue or Torrens Courses. Enrolment officers making grossly unrealistic promises of employment opportunities in creative industries. Failing to provide practical software education to accurately prepare them for their desired industry. I could cry over the hours I have spent weaving through the phone web that is student services.The open subject selection process appears to confuse and lure misguided first years into third year course resulting in subject repetition and they skirt this flaw in the system with course coaches you have to seek out. Every time I have sought the help of the IT team has been a waste as they can provide no further help than the equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?"Every student is forced to take out of touch core subjects meant to teach design process, teamwork, integrity and values but I have not come across a single student who feels these courses provided any value to their academic experience or taught them valuable components of a career in design.Worst of all they will wreak havoc on your student loans, today I received a letter from the ATO notifying that Torrens reverse previous student loan amounts charged at the old rate only to recharge me for those same units at the new rate. I spent a morning in utter panic because Torrens wanted to squeeze an extra $1600 out of my loan.At the end of day the flexibility of course, industry professional teachers and flash campus does appeal to those looking to study in design however as a student at the end of my studies If I had this time over I would have done anything else but attend Billy Blue. Save the heart ache and money and go somewhere else.
