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.
