Awesome. Australia has totally fullfilled my expectations. Interacting with local students and people, institutions, writing essays, academic discussions and also travelling have all improved my English skills.

If you have enough time it is useful to compare the prices of accommodations because there are significant differences in quality for the same price.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
On Campus accommodation is still more expensive. However, meals are included. Moreover on campus is nice for party but quite annoying if you are into serious studying.

Personal comments
The university housing office offers some support for people who are looking for off campus accommodation. It is important to start searching as early as possible. At the beginning of the semester most accomodations are already taken. Housing is relatively expensive.

Personal comments
The most clubs and bars are located in Northbridge. However, in my opinion, its not very good for going out. I prefer Subiaco where the crowd is a little bit older and the clubs and cafes have more style. Also popular are Leederville (Hippie Club on Tuesday) and Cottesloe (Sunday session in the Cot Hotel).
