any extension would mean that you need to get a new visa, which means ~ausd 500 for the visa plus you'll need to do another health check

just another 6 month extension also need health check?

Hey friends,

I'm looking forward to study in RMIT, Melbourne for design course.
From what I know, Melbourne is a city like PJ. Which is well organized. Second thing is, work part-time there and eat there is definitely cheaper than having it in KL. The part-time there pay you with min AUD10 for a hour. So imagine you can work for 20 hours a week. 20*10=AUD200. I believe that's a good deal for us. At least we can bare on our living expenses.

Just to share, too many replies above. Can't catch up, hope you guys don't mind I jump in to share some.

hey wat design course do you entering?

living in melbourne the expenses always go up every year..5% ~

haha, means you still can survive with the food from the market.. But anyway, maybe I shall just say, earn more spend wisely. But my sister got a better deal in her part time, so she still can spend on ipod for me. But she is now in Perth, maybe bit different  from melbourne.

for design context - melb is better ~ but for living ..perth is better~

Well, from the eastern seaboard, Perth is quite far away. Flying from Sydney to Perth is almost as long as flying from Sydney to Singapore. Perth is like a mini-Kuching/Malaysia/Singapore/Asia depending on who you talk to.

hey guys,

although I'm the thread starter but I do not reply much as I just started my studies in Australia early this year,I still do go through this thread very often. I do agree on suggestions to include the "names " of those currently studying in Aussie on 1st page, but I'm not sure how to  do that. I would be very glad to let other users to create it. Thanks.  thumbup.gif

i'm not going to convert to anything unless im earning here for myself....
but since i'm new here.......

wat i mean is to those who r still using their FAMA funds, how can u be not converting when ur parents r earning RM?

seriously i m really save and safe when dealing with buying things... the reason i say about 25 thingy is because some1 ask about the cost of living... tats the truth n easy understanding.

but of course... to those who r financially capable(parents), ignore me.

every1 notice that how large sum they have spend here, but they just dun wan to face it...maybe to avoid feeling guilty
*
i understand ur situation bro! not you only feel the pinch of x-rates but we got no choice but got to makan and hidup
yes, cost of living is high here especially in melb and syd.

Anyone in Melbourne? I would like to know the living cost over there, example like rental fees for apartment, movies, meals, and others... Public transport?

Me in melbourne !
living cost - it depends where is your area, some really tight one leave far away from city, when those got sufficient stay ard city ~
Incity- where most kids are- average cost for makan is more than aud 7.50
apartment - if u stay alone - will be ard aud 165+ per week, depend on loaction too places like rmit, unimelb sure expensive<(best is to share with more people)
student place like college square,
cinema - hotys and village - ard 7 to 11 depends on the movie itself ( Use bittorrent!)
transport- see metlink.com.au
others- laundry - depend whr u stay in student apartment or single apartment
- ur daily small uneeded stuff- go ard rejects shop ..sure got cheap one ..
- comp stuff- buy in lowyat or singapore ...melb some stuff are pricey
- games - ebgames is cheap but depend got sales or not
- clothing - come on budget, buy only when u need, dont spend too much on clothings

Somebody kill him........anyone who doesn't know where Gold Coast is deserves to die.........

AirAsia X has got landing rights to the Coolangatta Airport and Avalon in Melb. Coolangatta Airport is probably the most interesting airport in OZ; one half is on NSW, the other side is in QLD. Seriously.

Getting there and back will be a problem through, as the train only goes down to Robina from Brisbane. From Robina you still need to take a bus to the airport: no idea about connectivity. Coolangatta Airport is about 90KM from Brisbane............go figure.
