I am going to UNSW next year, anyone here too?

Oh im going to University of South Australia soon , any tips on accomodations to stay and such? hows the food? entertaiment ?

mind sharing what course are u studying there?

Yup, I'm here. There's a couple more from LYN at UNSW too. In short, great uni, good location (Sydney), nice experience, wonderful people. The only downside would be the higher living costs.

I'm here .. UNSW pwns =D Btw i'm taking mechatronics ...

a first year student in the University of Melbourne

anybody else here?

PLanning to study in australia queensland. la trobe university . anyone from there?

Uni of Sydney baby,gonna go do Econometrics

I remembered there was a thread last year on Study in Aust as there were quite some useful postings there. Maybe it has been deleted ? Oh well we can start anew

It was moved to kopitiam because it is being filled with pointless one liners which contributes nothing to the discussion

There was such a thread some time ago... I've posted quite a couple of tips back then. Now graduate and back in Malaysia edi

Anyway, Adelaide is a good place to study... coz very few distractions or "life". But then, it will be a good time to enjoy other healthier lifestyle like sports, recreation, beaches, etc. Cost of living is reasonably low if you can budget your expenses well (eg. Self-cook, sharing house, stay in suburbs, little shopping).

Hi, anyone know where can i check the ranking of the University in Australia?

Oh Uni of SA is just right next to my uni. Acommodations in the city is still the best, coz u can get around easily. Cost more than staying in suburbs..
Food got a lot of types, so don worry..
Entertainment.. haha.. cannot be compared to KL coz it's really a small city,Adelaide..

Hope this helps..
