Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Campus is too far away from Melbourne City
Personal comments:
The accomodation was okay (rooms were a bit small, but very clean, housemates were really nice) and the facilities were very good (Internet-access in your room, fitness-center, library, etc.). Festivals were organized... all in all it was really okay!!

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I already had a high knowledge of english before going to Australia but I gained knowledge in specialised business vocabulary and overall in my writing skills. The result is that english is not a foreign language for me anymore, I think in english and mainly could easily work in a english speaking environment!

FINAL COMMENTS

Careful with visa, permits, and all administrative stuff. Buy a second-hand car there if possible, distances are huge (nothing to do with Europe) in the city itself. Excellent time guaranteed if expenses carefully managed. Academic experience OK. Visit Bali (Indonesia)! And Sydney!
