Go fishing. Everybody does that in Hobart since there's nothing much to do at night. biggrin.gif
Hobart Pier, CSIRO, Battery point are some of the places where people like to go.
1.
http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4350.asp#e1284

2. Which RMIT campus? I assume it's in the city. For that budget you'll probably end up sharing an apartment or even sharing a room unless you venture out of the CBD.

3. Fill in the entire passport number including the A. Why leave it out?
*
haha oh they go fishing most of the time? hmm, what's there in hobart pier, csiro and battery point? i only know that battery point is a housing area. =P

reporting in...

Student of UWA, western Australia...

im in my frist semester right now, studying Master of Commerce at the Business school in UWA

Just wanna share my experience regarding the accommondation, since i went there before my sem starts(3 weeks before) i managed to get my house near the business school.

It was hard and it pushes your limit to the end...luckly enough i managed to deal directly with the landlord...

it is best to come earlier first, since its hard to find a good deal for your accommodation. Trust me you'll regret it if you dont...
*
oh yes, its hard to get a good house, esp when it's near the campus. Those near UWA are super expensive. I lived near leeming last time. haha.

international call : optus international for less ftw. =)
I reckon turbo charge and 3 postpaid are equally good depending on which plan your friends are using. =) sadly, we dont have 3 in tasmania =.= so everyone's with optus. good in a way. lol. esp with free minutes and stuff. xD

QUOTE(CarotMilk @ Mar 26 2010, 03:45 PM)
Anyone in University of Tasmania? I would like to ask few questions about their architecture degree. Is it difficult to keep up with other students? How's the quality of the University?
How much is the cost of living, monthly/yearly? I'm a thrifty person. (covering accommodation, transport, food, electricity, etc).

Quote from University of Tasmania "As a guide, it is estimated that you will need between A$12,000 and A$14,500 a year (covering accommodation, transport, food, electricity, etc)." Is the information given dependable?
*
Architecture will be in Launceston campus. Um, I'm not entirely sure about the course, prob have a look here: http://fcms.its.utas.edu.au/scieng/arch/cp...sp?lCpageID=282 It's a 3 years course, add on 2 years for masters. Again, I'm not sure of how the launceston campus is like cos i'm in Hobart. And sadly to say, I don't even know much of my main campus in Hobart cos i'm situated in ANOTHER campus within the city. So it's pretty spread out. But all i know is that UTAS is one of the rare unis that offer Naval architecture. Hmm, well, tasmania is a boring place but good for studying, kinda (well, quite) cold sometimes, and the tuition fee is cheap. =P but not food wise though, esp chinese food.

I'm limiting myself to 11k this year, including all the tables chairs beds and daily stuffs. Rental should be below 140$ pw depending on the location, and I spend around 100$ for food pw. So yeah, with 12-14.5k you can live in luxury i have to say. No worries you'll be fine with <11k. Again, that depends on how you plan your finance. =)

Hey there, thanks for the link =) But i've already read that.
I heard that you can work part-time and study, have you done that? How's the environment in Tasmania?
Yeah, some of my friends who studied in Australia told me that Tasmania's tuition fee is cheap.
How about groceries? Cheap?
*
Environment? pretty pretty PRETTY sceneries =D and it's a quiet place, good for studying. =) that's what I reckon. But seriously, there's nothing much to do here. =D


QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Mar 27 2010, 05:46 PM)
$140 per week is bloody cheap compared to Melb sweat.gif
$100 per month ($25/week) is the average cost for groceries but I'd say set a budget of $150 per month as you'll want to treat yourself with good stuff every now and then.

If you're going to buy a car then honestly $1000 per month is probably not enough, unless your parents are sponsoring your ride.
Assuming that you're in Hobart, groceries are generally slightly more expensive than Melbourne. Having said that, you can find good bargains if you shop in bulk (eg buy eggs in 30s, pastas in 5kg packs and split it among friends). Sometimes you'll be able to find really cheap fruits as well; we bought apples which costs 4cents each when we were over there for holidays.
*
um, I'm running on 100$p/w on groceries =/ don't think 25$ pw is possible for me >< haha. groceries are slightly more exp than perth and major cities in mainland i guess. btw, if carotmilk is going to do archi in tas, it'll be in launceston, so that's a whole new story in terms of rental and expenditure. cos the guideline i'm giving is based on hobart. =P and yes, not much chinese restaurants here in hobart, and I rather cook myself xD *well there are some nice ones*

Yeah, I'm doing architecture in Launceston. Thanks for the infos =)
So i guess 11k will be enough, but 11k for me is still a huge sum, did you apply for scholarship or did you get tuition fee waiver?
*
hmm, we have loads of scholarship for rural health placements but wait! it's not for international students =( dangit. Um, yeah, i'm not on any scholarships. I'm going on 11k inclusive of my bed chair table table lamp + some other stuff that I need. If you need an exact figure on the rental+internet+elec,gas+food, it'll be <10k =D well yeah i took the initiative to count, or the fact that i'm just bored. >< so you've decided? =D

Whoa what are you eating over there? $100 per week on groceries alone? 25 is probably too conservative an estimate I suppose (used to be adequatethat before the inflation). Now I'm getting away with 40-50 per week but it's because I'm earning my income now and hence being less stingy compared to student time.

Buy in bulk to save... when there's $1/litre long life milk on offer, go grab a carton and will last you for 2 months. That's 50% savings. Same with stuff like rice... if there's no offer, it can hit $25-30 per kg but again you'll be able to find <$20/kg when the timing is right.

For those in Hobart... check out No Frills Wholesale Cash&Carry... it's like makro in M'sia. Grab stuff in bulk then split it among your friends/housemates.
*
yeah prob cos i buy bits by bits, so thats why it's kinda exp. hmm, sorry for not making it clear, 100$ is my week's spending, groceries can hit around 40ish. well, still looking for a way to save =P where's this no frills wholesale CnC?
