thanks guys for the info!

I guess I have made up my mind.

UWA. U there too?

Oh my. Heard that bunch of whining birds making so much noise. Fattest birds that fly. Seagulls hanging around in da city. No doubt it's quite ulu here xD.

Yeah, im studying in UWA too, taking Masters in commerce, majoring in international biz.

The tram service in Adelaide is free within city. Another option, u can take the free bus service (99C) to China Town.

haha...warm milk before sleep is awesome.. =D

Lots of Asians are taking accounting or finance major in commerce... But in international business major, you can really mix along with aussies, US, Russian and lots of European students...

i guess international business really have broad "international" students in their class LOL..

should be a lot too in biomed faculty and engineering faculty. Not much asians studying in the geoscience faculty though. =) but agree, UWA is really awesome. =D love the environment, and broadway is really near too if you're sick of the ref. xD

i prefer cold ones

haha...recommend a good milk brand man. i've not bought any yet.

Yeah, love the environment..its very peaceful

PURA. they are awesome. but pricey. =/ usually i just drink woolworths milk. still drinkable =P

Guys, this is the Studying in Australia thread, not the Kopitiam subforum to discuss about the different brands of milk.

While I appreciate the impact of the "milk and bread" wars, this is not the place for banal chit chat. I can acknowledge the odd tangential discussion to give a day-to-day perspective of living in Australia as a student, but in the interest of keeping this thread as clean as possible as so other people who do their research don't have to wade too much chaff of your musings.

Try to keep this place informative rather than a stream of your thoughts eh?

Bro, can you update the student list? put my name under UWA Perth, currently im taking my masters study there...thanks

Not to mention anything but to bring back an additional support for my statement today I came across with 2 Singaporeans in conversation while waiting for my turn for enrolment this early morning.

A: So... why you're here btw? Not going NUS?
B: Can't make it although I've appealed. Got a terrible result. Straight B's and a D How about you?
A: Also bad result.

Starting to have doubts on the effort I've exerted. Apparently, people with A-lvl results can get into Aussie universities easily while students like us going for Australian year 12 qualification have a rough time to be eligible to be in top universities today. Year 12 Aussie competition for top universities is stiff. To get into a certain top % in a particular course is tough whereas A-lvl students can get A's as long as they deserve it. If you're an A-lvl student and wishes to gain an entry into any of these universities in Australia, maybe except for Uni Melbourne etc, as long as you do decently in your exams, the doors are always open.

Don't blame me if I over-emphasize. It's an add on btw.

international students will always get in easier compared with locals, they want your money.........

it also depends on the course, b's and d's will not get you into critical courses, but will get you into everything else.....then again, having straight a's will get you considered, but not with a atar of 95.........

as for nus, places are severely limited, so entry cut offs are very high, much higher than oz unis........even melbourne........
