Hey KV!!! 
how's final?
Welcome!! 
If you want to know more information about Ipswich, you can ask me. I have a friend studying there....

bz mate

u used to work as a barista?? yea i think the coffee here is quite special since u need skill to make it....and u need the machine too!

anyway i think what pandamans trying to say is that its not all good and nice over here....there are alot of bad things bout Australia too...just that too many ppl from Msia has got the perception that its all 100% good here aka no corruption, no violence, no robbery / assault, no racism, no wasting of taxpayer money..... etc etc etc......

i think both countries has all of those....and its just up to the person itself to see which is the better of the bads....and i think by no means pandamans trying to attack australia but its jsut that he's trying to correct the typical msian perception of aus.....which i agree with him.....

and haya.....u said msian legalize rempits.....okay what about the aus govt giving monetary support aka doles to the lazy homeless, drunkards, druggies??? isn't that legalization and even promoting these bad stuffs?? and i think most of the assaults / robbery / house break-ins are caused by these group of ppl......

If you wanna really rate how a country is performing ...
Go study the country's law.

Hi Lynn,

It's best to transfer into the semester that allows you to fit nicely into the standard plan of the course.

If you join half way and you have to take courses that are supposed to be taken by year 3 (assuming you're transferring into year 2), then you will have a hard time studying.

I myself had experienced ... well still experiencing the difficulty of transferring into third year semester 2 while I am supposed to complete second year semester 2 first before continuing.

I'm taking Engineering and right now in Year 3 semester 3. All the core subjects requires a thorough understanding of Control Systems which is covered in my Year 2 Semester 2 that I have yet to take.

Right now I'm going to the exam hall to face my judgment

simplfied:
if you transfer on 1st smster; wats the cost?

if you transfer later; wats the cost too?

About holiday; its not a issue here, as you have to long summer holiday after you are done.

if financial issue is problem; its better you hold back from my point of view. From general Australian perspective; things are getting more pricey than expected.Import goods; daily groceries all goes up as the reverse of dollar gone bad.

actually i prefer to transfer next semester.. as the schedule not so tight.. i can take my own sweet time to arrange it and also don't have to scare of the ambassador department to close at what what time..

but also.. the $$.. everything is damn expensive now..
*later "money not enough 3" casting by me..*

if i transfer 1 sem earlier, i have to pay around 100k.. but if i stay at sunway here.. i only have to pay around 30k..
that's huge amount.. and some more i have to consider of my brother as well.. he's studying in form 4 now.. going to form 5 next year.. and year after next.. COLLEGE.. which means... MONEY!!

There's a way around the 2 years study to get PR.

If you only studied 1.5 years and you feel like staying in Australia, you can ask for another 18 months stay from DIAC.

During that stay you will be working and experience the most of yourself here in Australia. In the same time you must also apply your PR during that period. Then hopefully after 2 years of staying in Australia you can get your PR

Owhh what's DIAC??
thanks anyway!

haha yeap..i dont know what that is...mind telling me?

i am doing accountancy

Department of Immigration and Citizenship

Use Google next time.

Seriously, you are planning to study in Australia and have no idea what DIAC is?
