QUOTE(Mr.LKM @ Dec 10 2009, 10:34 AM) Canberra is a pretty green and quiet city. My first impression of Canberra was that this city couldn't be the capital of Australia. KL is much busier and noisier but the food here is not cheap. Expect around AUD10-20 for a proper meal. If I am not mistaken, the lowest average salary is AUD15/hr. I'm also applying for in campus accommodation now...Toad Hall...hope will get it...i'm jz wondering whether the stipend i gt from my scholarship is enough to cover my daily expenses...coz it seems like everything is also expensive in Australia...I live on campus so I am not really well informed of the accomodations around. I lived on a catered hall during the last term and it cost me $285 per week.That's basically what I spent every week. I don't really go out and drink so that saved me tons of money. |

QUOTE(haya @ Dec 12 2009, 10:07 AM) A$22500/year works out to be $1875/month. That is some serious cash there. I knew scholarship students were loaded. Glad to hear that...thanks...Looking at ANU's website, the generic average cost of living in Canberra is about $1600/month. Granted, rents are not cheap in Canberra, but from my experience university cost estimates for living costs tend to err on the higher side. My university thinks I need about $1400/month in Brisbane; I get along well with about $1000/month (admittedly, not much to spare, but its not a bad life) QUOTE(chris_c28 @ Dec 12 2009, 02:49 PM) First of all, congrats on the scholarship. Is this a postgraduate research scholarship, under IPRS/Endeavour? If it's an undergraduate scholarship, then it is definitely very generous. With PHD scholarships, you can also get top ups from teaching work at university and if you're willing to enter into industrial linkage grants, you could match over and above graduate salaries. Nope..it's a PhD scholarship by ANU...Tried Endeavour but my credentials are nt gud enuff...i emailed them and asked them for the reason i din get the scholarship and they replied me that competition is very very stiff as there are 2K++ applicants this year... |
