Really thank you of your all advice. I'll go to apply for TFN.

Quite boring no many friends at Melbourne. I wish myself all the best and can find a good employer. Hahaha

hmm, yeah a lot of msians down south, cos the price of houses there is cheaper.

yeah, i want to ask how much does it cost,
but of course not the place, is the school..
and i cant read the pr thingy..can tell me here??

any1 who studying at RMIT can pm me?

i wanna ask something about accommodation and mayb flights too

i'm sorry, but is this thread only applied for first degree students ?

coz i was considering mBA in australia, is this the right thread ?

if i from RMIT want go Monash Caulfield then it need how long to reach thr?

Well RMIT is along Swanston so obviously Unilodge Swanston is nearer Then again there are two Unilodges along Swanston and one's closer to UniMelb and the other is near RMIT. I presume you're talking about the latter.

It depends I guess, but I'm not sure how great the difference is between these two units apart from location. There are Unilodges virtually everywhere in the city so take your pick. I've a friend who stays in Unilodge Lonsdale and the whole unit's pretty small, and the rooms are just enough for one person each... Don't think about squeezing 2 in one room.

But location wise... maybe Bouverie might be better as it's on a quieter street. It's just one street away, parallel to Swanston.
Swanston can get very hectic and noisy at times with all the pedestrians and trams.

Just did my medical checkup. The doctor said that it takes 3 weeks to get my visa approved. But I thought there are people here got their visa like less than a week? 

I told the doctor that I am flying soon but he doesn't look that friendly. 

Hopefully, it will be done in time. 

Anyway, why Melbourne won't be slow?

i dont mind.. still cheaper than sydney aye. ahaha

if i buy more metcard now, would it be use until next year?

ah yeh.. well.. live nearer to ur campus or whatever.. its just a bump in life.. deal with it.

Saw the site.. i dont think its that bad... 5% increase. at least not 10% or 20%

If you can afford to go to Melbourne to study, I'm pretty sure a 5% increase, which prolly only translates to approx. 30c to 50c increase in fares won't hurt you much. And come on, your tuition fees increase on average by 10% every year, you don't whine on that and yet you are complaining on this?

For locals,  a 5% increase is really insignificant with their concessions, so don't even bother going into that part.

2.3 is not the lowest ever since, and aud is not anticipated to appreciate very soon...

the aud has gone historically as low as 1.6........but this was in the heydays when the msian economy was well and pridently managed, and commodities output was strong.....

the high was in mid year, at 3.2.........

wow...is it 2.3 today? it's like 2.4 almost 2.5 for quite a few days

Before 1997 financial crisis, A$ was below 2.

Now the financial crisis is with Australia, so it could go back to 2 again.

What do you mean by worry Malaysia ?

well if you are worried. maybe you should change a bit by bit. so change maybe like 30% now. or something like that.

Rm3k per month? My friends in Melbourne only spend Rm2k plus, some less than RM2k monthly.

But.. yea, depends on how you spend.

it is per month price..and found it from realestate website
or any1 can intro me some accommodation   

btw which flight u all usually take to melb?

err..i think is from au.easyroommate.com web
