what are some of the pros and cons studying in Australia?
mind to share some views here?

I need to extend 1 semester due to failure and need to extend my visa. What I need to do?

Extension would means you'll need a new new visa and another ~AUSD500 for it. You will need to do another health check as well.

According to the Immigration website: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/990i/stude...isa-charges.htm

Extending your visa is the same as applying for a new visa apperently. Currently it costs $450 for a new one. You should have paid something like that when you applied to study in Australia. However, I do know of some agents who will absorb the visa application fee from Malaysia.

Best is to call the department (131881), but be prepared to be put on hold forever. (Y'know, gov depts.) Make sure you have plenty of call credit, or alternatively call from a public phone.

What car did you buy?

tats a loss or gain?
Gain = a car
Loss = pay more

im looking at that car too.. small and nice.. how much u got it for?

hmm im not sure but usually they got this free on-roads offer so that usually saves u about 1k-2k right?? and from my experience usually the offers all hover around that figure....like they give u fleet price but no free on roads.....give u rebates but no free on roads n etc.....

but holden's current deal seems quite attractive....99cents fuel cap.....but now that the oil price is dropping....mayb its not that useful.....but still pump prices arent as low as the world crude oil prices....damn!  

yeah i like small cars, thats why im looking at it.. the 20k includes all those fees n registration? coz i see onsite its 15.7k only for the most basic one.. i dun really know about all this kinda stuff, not a car fan, never thought of having a car also.. just bought a bike a few months ago.. haihs.. can international students pay by installments?
