Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
You may have adapt to the Aussie accent and terms. "Good day, mike", "yeah, right", etc. No worries, you won't have much problems adapting to the accent, language and culture. Friendly Aussie everywhere. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...

Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
You can only take 3 or four courses so don't go abroad to study go, go for the experience. FINAL COMMENTS
Make sure if you go to Queensland that you don't go between December and March, all it does is rain. Also Look at Brisbaine, it was a great great city to see and there is so much to do close, it is also cheeper. Also I would recommend meeting some Australian exchange students at your home school. I did and it was the single best thing I did. When I got to Melbourne I had Assie friends to show me around and a place to stay.
