So far so good if you ask me. Term hasn't started yet, i actually arrived 2 weeks early so i could deal with investments and term deposits as they're sponsoring my stay here rather than regular handouts from my folks . I'm not sure about the other faculties, but engineering for one is filled up with very motivated lecturers and individuals, and as per usual, very little women and tons of people with short attention spans. The other faculties seem more lively and motivated though, but who gives a flipping bother about them anyways lol?

Everything here is done with the online system and it's extremely comprehensive, and the e-learning system is seriously good. The facilities are nice, and nearly everything can be bought with your student card as long as it has money preloaded in it. The student guild runs alot of activities and provides alot of services although the co-co activities are mostly sport centric. Food is pretty good here, although if you're like me, you tend to be a little picky regarding Halal or not, but the Uni does cater for muslims and there are foods designated halal in the cafeteria. Admin staff are really helpful and seem to put up with the dumbest questions i can throw at them (seems my IQ has dropped due to salt content in food here), the facilities are well maintained although i'll be frank and say the PC labs are utter crap as the PCs are as slow as my ass on saturday morning.

The town is about 3km away and a serious b**** to walk to, it doesn't have much, but it has all you'll probably need, like food, electrical, games, DVDs, shopping, clothes, electronics and of course, porn. Busses operate from monday to friday with limited service on saturday. Flash your student ID on the bus and you get 50 percent off, just like everywhere else in queensland. If there's one time you will be tempted to get a cheap arse car, it'll be here since the Bus service is pretty small and busses are few and far in between, so do yourself a favour and pool some money with a buddy to buy some junky old Holden. My pockets keep getting raped by taxi fares, so i consider it good advice.

Design: does this mean you're in Griffith? Anyway, welcome to Brisbane!

It all depends which course you're in. Here in QUT, if you're doing Business/Econs/Accounting, there are Asians everywhere. Do something like Bio-science, and it's almost all whites.

Wow. Toowoomba! Hows the weather there? Sounds like a nice place.

Yes, Telstra and Optus' plans are horrible value for money. Other providers such as Internode are much better, but since you're almost in the bush, coverage might be a bit tricky for these smaller ISP's.


Damn I miss them allright. Don't forget this:

bah talking bout concession rate for students.. bloody hell only in melbourne we're not entitled.. geeeeeee

Sydney also,international students dont get the concession rates too while exchange students get it.

It's so unfair.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa we're paying double the price T_T

and in my institute.. my course, international students pay like 25 grand for the course but local students dont pay anything.. thats why we're called PAYING students.. mehs no concession. sadsad

Yeah,what to do?

I still think we should have the traffic concession.

25K aud or ringgit?

penny, we got no choice.
btw how much you paying for your diploma?
me pay about 9.8k per yr.

wah i wish 25k ringgit ;x two years about 25k aud lor.. what are you studying?

2 yrs 25k aud
eh cannot be so high..
i`m studying dip.building design here in holmesglen, south of you

about 12.5k a yr, which is more than me
i tot tafe programme is like regulated, besides, is boxhill helping you getting PR?

one semester pay about 6k.. but i think that includes the insurance thing? i dont know about PR thing.. i already have PR in uk so not really interested in the pr here atm

You're lucky then, my course costs me 20k aud a year. Only masters students and locals here get concessions.

I'm applying for a Power Consortium bursary since i'm majoring in power and analog electronics. If you're taking a course which has industry wide shortages, i suggest you look around since the benefits are good, it also adds to the chance of getting a PR once you're done or by the very least, an employer vouched Visa. Queensland is suffering from a shortage of engineers, so i guess anyone willing to give scholarships a fling for relevant courses probably could get them.
