Tax and anyhow? I'm facing weight problem and might result in sending textbooks over via mail. I'm afraid that it might be taxed or whatnot.

Im not bringing any food there. But have a few medication for my skin and gastric. Have them packed in a file together with the documents. U study in which uni? Uni of adelaide will send someone to pick me up at the airport. No food then no need tick anything on the passenger card right?

I ticked the first one for medication.

A-Level forecast might be applicable, but still, without the real result, the best you can get is a conditional offer letter.

My suggestion is wait for your real result.
Before that, have all the details and document ready, like your SPM results, transcripts, get IELTS etc. Your college placement office will help you. If they are not too effective, go to those agency like AusEd, ASA or IDP. They will guide you through.

Application fee wise, no worries on that, usually its totally waived nowadays. However, like limeuu says, go during the exhibition and you will get quite a lot of info and goodies. The agencies will also have some representative from the universities present from time to time. Remember to keep in touch with them.

However, I would suggest you not to apply for more than 5 universities. I applied 7 last time and it took me 2 weeks to decide where to go.

You got preferred Uni / Course to study?

DO NOT wait for your real results. The entry dates for various courses varies from university to university. Better safe than sorry.

if the intention is to gain right to stay and work in oz, and NOT an education, then there would be indeed good professions to get trained in.....

don't laugh....many international students, particularly those from prc, purposely take up nursing because that is one profession that almost guarantees a job.....their problem is getting the ielts band 8 to qualify for a pr visa, as the rules have changed......

I've received news that a lawyer took up hairdressing to obtain a PR.

cheaper fees is the only way they can attract international students to go study there.... smile.gif

living cost will be about brisbane level, maybe a bit more than adelaide, but still cheaper than sydney/melbourne....

Room rates in Hobart and Sandy Bay are more expensive than in Adelaide.
