Why Melbourne University is prestigious

I will detour from the central question about how prestigious Melbourne University is and discuss how I became a pedagogue at Melbourne University, a skill I think is my best skill and helped the most by the prestigious institution. I both recommend trying to see if you’re capable of pedagogy (but can’t guarantee you’ll have success) and also be aware that studying degrees without (enough, and I’m always developing new knowledge, new algorithms) pedagogical knowledge may lead to uncertain results. Sometimes I am not sure why I was encouraged to do it, even wondering whether someone looking over me wanted me to f* - was it more straightforward than experimenting with pedagogy? Although Honours needs pedagogy and Masters requires algorithmic pedagogy.
I became a pedagogue by collecting the pedagogical ways of thinking during my Arts/Science degree (a generalist degree with Philosophy, Computer Science and Creative Writing).
In Philosophy, I studied Nietzsche, and it became clear graduating activated his influence. Nietzsche was to oversee the content of my writing (made possible by pedagogy), and the activation I mention is him appearing with the help of a lecturer, although I’m not sure if he appeared to anyone else I knew. My first books influenced by him were not so Computer Scientific, but gradually became more so until I used currently living professors and a spiritual “comment invitation” format that would allow me to develop, not just write down ideas that Nietzsche influenced. Monash was fast in acting to complete pedagogue activation. I enrolled in a Monash Science degree because I wanted to become a neuroscientist, although I left to become a Meditation University founder. I enrolled in Swinburne Philosophy Honours later, which helped with a side part of Pedagogy, lecturer meditation upon graduation that enabled me to develop my own arguments, not rely on an influence.
I became aware of the importance of regular study in three specific disciplines: I studied an alternative university’s short courses in Self Pulse Diagnosis, Meditation and Monash’s short course in Education. These would support me in writing and education.
Prestigiousness can imply rigorousness (grit) without help, hence the topic of this paragraph: helped versus not helped. (As an aside, I studied Science at Monash for a year and it was a lot easier than Melbourne even though this was after I became a pedagogue, after finishing at Melbourne).  My father was a professor.   It felt like he was putting me through the grit of learning the pedagogical ways of thinking.  Even though I was not a full pedagogue (accompanied by the groan from being f* for being close, I was pushed by my father to finish the degree, with many f* subjects and some high distinctions. My favourite subjects were Logic and Computation in Computer Science.  The department selected me to became a tutor in Logic and Computation but I was pulled back from by my Disability Liaison Officer because I think I was not up to the pedagogical requirements at that point.  I equally enjoyed Critical Thinking The Art of Reasoning in Philosophy, which ran simultaneously with Logic and Computation, where the lecturer Tim Van Gelder also lectured in Logic and Computation. 
As an aside, I attended the Logic Summer School at ANU, helping me (I think) become a tutor, and lectured at three international Philosophy conferences giving my successful Monash and Swinburne essays. Pedagogy, the prestigiousness of Melbourne University may have played a part in earning a place at the conferences.
