The University of Melbourne is one of the many universities in Melbourne. It was founded in 1853, and is known for teaching and research excellence. It is not currently one of Maryville College's partners, but I am exploring partnership opportunities there. Thinking of Grad School abroad? This would be a great one for the sciences!
It has 94 different programs at the Bachelor, Master and PHD level.

It is a campus that is pretty close to the CBD (central business district...aka downtown) and actually has a campus feel to it. They have a lot of really advanced research facilities (this is where recaldent was invented...the ingredient in sugarless gum that makes trident good for your teeth). They also have an institute called AsiaLink where all the studies related to Asia take place. They teach all kinds of languages here from all over Asia.All the institutions in Australia are trying to make their graduates "work ready" and partner heavily with industry. The U of Melbourne is partnered with companies like IBM, Celera, for example.
There is lots to do in Melbourne. I highly recommend eating & drinking in De Graves Street. I
t is a narrow street in the middle of the CBD. DeGraves Espresso is a famous coffee shop on this street. But you can't really go wrong with any of the small cafes and restaurants through here. Famous photo-artists have highlighted this street, particularly the graffiti in their art.
