I in South Australia right now

Hey thanks for the reply..im intend to choose biomed,biochem or biotech as my preference.

Well, Industry Design here pretty young, not that sophisticated as UK yet.
I suggest to you to rather go with Swinburne bcos of its connection with skilled based, then you wont just learn theory more of yourself or just design in theory.

hi fellow aussie malaysians , how's it going
I'm studying in Melbourne University and tutoring undergraduate part time while being final year undergraduate myself

Hi all, I'm currently studying in Adelaide and intending to move in Feb next year..anyone here also in Adelaide or coming to Adelaide that would like to share accommodation with during that time?

I in Adelaide as well.. Where u plan to move ?

From Brisbane


Hmm i was going to study Master in Industrial Design but then thing doesn't turn out as planned. I think u should look at NZ uni, because i think NZ has better Design background. LOTR FOREVER!

really? i found out that studying here is easier compared back home. I'm a pretty much a lazy student, someone who doesn't study much but surprisingly doing better than i thought. but back at msia, my academic is worst.

heyy.. i need help in looking for accomodation at the moment.. any of you living in brisbane looking for housemates? Im studying at aviation australia.. do let me know if there is any vacancies.. thank you!

I had recommendation,

Can you guys come with a guide or set of recommendation on on how to rent a place in Australia, how to find a place , or an agent , what are the general procedures like ?

and than may be we can add that into beginning of the topic , cause i am thinking of going for off-campus accommodation , and I am not very clear on what should I do , and what to be careful with when I want to rent a place over there?

what is the average cost of living in sydney per annum?

Anyone studying in UWA right now?

just wanna find fellow LYN mates from Malaysia who are studying here..

go to realestate.com.au and domain.com.au are the best site to start, search for desired surburbs, contact the advertiser and arrange a meeting.. it's easy as that.. also, most universities provide accommodation services, they are really helpful if you are lost

what's the few differences between studying in UK and AUstralia?

Different Continents,time zone,distance,currency etc. =P

The education system differs as well. Do a bit of googleing and you shall see there's a difference between their systems.

It's entirely up to one's preferences where to go.

Hello guys,
why some people said studying in aus is just wasting of money? is it true? it makes me change my mind to further my study in aus...

That is not something that can be answered with a simple yes or no. You have to take into account stuff like your financial status,your future plans,compared to what among other stuff. Without knowing these you could even say going to study in Harvard,MIT,Stanford etc. as a waste of money =P

I feel that all universities have made enough support structures for these matters regarding accommodation. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. All universities will have a International Student Department and a Accommodation Service which assists in accommodation issues, both on and off campus.

Also, this is the Studying in Australia thread, not "Promoting Australia as a education destination" thread. It is not the intent of members in this thread to tell you where to pursue your study. Nor are we promoters. Make your decision, then start asking.

Ask vague questions, and you'll get vague answers.

It's only a waste of money if you come here and only ever stick with Malaysian friends and not locals or continue eating instant noodles and not cook out of local produce and not bask yourself in their culture and activities - oh and speak english. I have a lot of friends who came here only to complete their studies after three years not knowing any locals or at least long lasting ones. Saying locals do not want to mix with us is a lame excuse too.

I think people only said its a waste of money after they have failed spectacularly to impress/improve in life after many years studying here.

Education wise - I reckon all (well known) universities have their pros and cons.
