QUOTE(limeuu @ Apr 6 2007, 02:37 AM) just go sit for it loh..........for technical courses, i think they only require band 5, not difficult to get lah............... i think you need to get a 6 in IELTS for australian unis. then again, it might differ from uni to uni besides, its only RM 500. that's little compared to the amount that you need to fork out in the long run like living expenses etc IMO  |

QUOTE(szeki @ Apr 5 2007, 06:05 PM) You are totally wrong dude I persume you mean Monash Malaysia when comparing it to Australia. Yes, you struggle when you go to Australia. We spoon feed too much. But when universities spoonfeed, we know we're in trouble.Study locally in Monash is better than in Australia, Australian lecturers dont spoon feed you which means u must go and do research yourself.. it's not the same in msia, those lecturers actually give u detailed notes and you really dont need to go to library and do research.. i know because i went through the path, so, personally i think study locally is better.. i prefer local.. it's my opinion though.. Trust me, You will struggle In Australia than study locally.. last time i had an average of 89 out of 8 subjects in year but when i transfered to aussie( Same amout of time studying) i only able to score an average of 84.. wtf.. To quote limeuu, no wonder local graduates can't find a job...... Added on April 6, 2007, 9:45 amOh, and happy easter to all! This post has been edited by haya: Apr 6 2007, 09:45 AM |

It is indeed cheaper  Ah..so it is really not that safe to live in Footscray..that's what my current housemate told me. And she said they have a few 'Tanjung Rambutan' centres in Footscray too. So what happened to your house ericca? I assumed you had home insurance then? Hmm...any other safer areas recommended that is nearer to the city? Anyone stayed in Essendon before? I used a weekly for 3 weeks cause I didn't wanna waste the week during Easter, but I'll be getting the monthly ticket after Easter  |

QUOTE(eRiCCa @ Apr 8 2007, 10:28 AM) are you working in the city? I'm actually studying in the city erm... no we didnt have insurance for the first time... and my housemate's laptop got stolen... then we got the insurance, then the 2nd time my housemate was at home and yelled at him when this person tried to come in... erm... i think brunswick is not bad... what's your budget?  Lol, yelled at the burglar? Didn't the guy tried to tie your friend up or something?  But it's good no one got hurt.My budget is around 280/week (max) for a 2 bedroom apartment to share with my sister. Staying in the city is almost impossible with that budget...a friend of mine is paying 750~800/month in the city. |
