depends on what uni you go to. generally, it's around 2x(or more) the normal tuition fees of other courses.

Really? Don't I need my student ID before I can get a plan?

hmm.. i received anu offer today.. considering... opinion please?

Hello there.

I'm currently a CIE A-Level student. I took my AS this November (Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics).

My target is to study medicine in Australia. But I find 4 subjects in AS is very stressful and I'm not sure I can withstand 4 A2 subjects.

So I'm considering dropping Physics, since the universities only require 3 subjects and I don't really have any interest for Physics.

But according to my teacher, he said 3 subjects is realistically impossible to get admitted into medicine in Australia as a local student (I'm a PR). He said that it's impossible to enter even if 3 A*s are taken. How true is this?

Thanks for any help!

Hi. Since you are going to be new in Perth, I would suggest you to rent a place near UWA e.g. suburbs Nedlands/Crawley for the first semester. Once you are fully settled and got familiar with Perth, then you may move out and rent somewhere else during semester 2. Hope that helps. =]

Spoon feeding is a habit not easily changed, I see.

rules as listed in aussie gov websites are pretty much as it is....ie it will work exactly as the rule says....

changing institutions (but the same course) is not uncommonly done, usually after the 1st year....

if one has not started, then with the new coe, one has to apply AGAIN for a new student visa......

Anyone with experience can pls fill in the blanks for budgeting
per week

a) Accomodation
b) Food
c) Transport
d) Communications- H/p
e) Utilities- Electricty, Internet
f)  Others  eg entertainment, clothing,etc

Too late if that guy already left for college!

Depends on city, it can be as low as $350 per week at a catered residential hall and that covers a, b, and e. c depends on need, d depends on usage, f heavily depends on lifestyle - why would you want to buy clothes overseas though? Unless you were going somewhere (where they could be cheaper) such as England.

If he had intended for school starting Semester 1 2012 then any budgeting info would have come too late.

Also it depends on which college he goes to (if he hadn't got into one already) as most have early deadlines and competitive admissions.

Oddly enough, some popular halls inevitably end up taking in kids who were "rejected" (by screwing up or failing to get into others). So not everyone diligently applies before deadlines, but they still can get in. But this might not be the case everywhere. Planning is advised.

What do you want me to say? The rules are different everywhere. Even if most attend the university, not 100% of residents need be students of that university, depending on who owns the hall or what their rules are. And I was referring to new and returning residents both.

When did disciplinary or academic issues come in? Those are valid statements but hardly relevant to our discussion. I'm talking about failing to properly apply for a place, and still getting in to another hall which one did not apply to/initially intend to go to.

Does this apply to campuses outside the city like Clayton? Also if I go for one semester, an exchange from Monash Sunway to Monash Clayton, I will be landing smack in summer and staying until winter which means I will need clothes there

This made me smile. I'm also a clean freak with mild OCD so I will drive people bonkers. I'm planning to stay alone if funds allow

Noob question:

Why is it some universities require 5 years for an undergraduate engineering degree course while others, 4 years?

For eg  Curtin is 5 years, U Western Aus is 5 years resulting in Masters, University of Queensland is 4 years
