Its best that you stay at Carlton. You could try Albert House, all meals provided except sundays. If you are willing to cook yourself, College Square, CMC, Arrow on Swanston are popular areas. CMC is very near to the Swanston Street Trinity Building, just 1 minute walk away...lol. Plus, its right on top of KFC!

The smart gang will mostly be staying at Albert House. Cost for a month is about $1000 AUD in Carlton. Don't go to the suburbs, or you'll regret it in terms 3 and 4 when you have drama practice with your groupmates during after-hours.

thanks guys~ ^^ i'll look into it, how much is CMC XD wohoo~ KFC below (ok if i stay there i'm gonna get reaaaaaallly fat xD )

Interesting news and views on the Melbourne Model. A least a quick skim for those lucky enough to be in the first cohort of the new model.

yes i'm gonna be the so called white rat for the new model, sheehs, no wonder they put medicine as a postgraduate >.< damit, I'll try to get into monash then.

usyd should be nice...i am in unsw now...sydney is a good place...

it is not obvious to say tat uni melb is too hoo hahhh thier new system
beware, sometime a system might fail also ~.

onelove89, if im in your situation i will not burn my parents money with system still testing.

I notice asian really does have the notoriety to underpay, overwork employees.

Especially those from Hong Kong. Inevitable. I'm working whole load, getting paid little..thats just sad

yeah, my first choice is still monash first cos it offers 5 yrs medicine. but if no choice then i'll go for melb u, but on the bright side, if i dont wanna waste too much money on medic if i'm in melb u i can oways take something else after the biomedicine degree. =)

Then refuse to, work elsewhere. They are exploiting students because they know students tend to be submissive, especially international students. We're Malaysians, show them that we have self-dignity.

where do you work?

The Melbourne Model kinda put me off to go Melbourne Uni now.So far,it's not doing very well and the university is losing money.

really, can put in more fact outsider dont know?
coz im eyeing on melbourne model, it seems good but it impact most of the the higher education..
those who dont like the melbourne uni, freak off to monash
besides, swinburne, vic uni, rmit..

Those people passing out the flyers of the student union election are irritating. Keep bumping into them every time in Union House.

aih mate ... aussie fight for there point also anyway, watch and decide

oh, sydney is a nice place, bit hot in summer, loads of bush fire and stuff. but nice scenes, prob is the cost of living is high and the fees for uni is quite exp rite? >.< but, i'll apply to different uni after my foundation.

Cost of living in Sydney is high, but i'm pretty sure Melbourne's cost of living is pretty much similar to that of Sydney. Tuition fees wise, i'm not too sure about medicine, but for other courses, the fees here are similar to those in Monash and other Go8 universities, with UniMelb being the most expensive among all.

No, as I mentioned, if you can afford Melbourne, you can afford Sydney.

I've gotten a lot of friends that says this. But i've got 90% of friends saying it, 5% was lucky enough to get the proper job at the proper time, another 5% assuming that this has always been the true case.
It's not about them exploiting, we all know they exploit. I wouldn't want to work if i can get other jobs. I've got a friend that has gone virtually the whole suburn of Clayton looking for a job, only to land in another waiter like job in a hong kong restaurant that like i say, fully utilizes people. It's not about self dignity, its about knowing the truth and maybe, for once, submissive about it.
