Personal comments
The housing was provided in my package. It would have been much cheaper to go about it on my own, but no one knew that until we got there. Basically, the American universities scam you so you pay your normal tutition (even though its a lot cheaper to live and study there) just in order to have your credits transfer back.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Make sure you realize that it is not as close to Sydney as you may think. We were told it was 5 minutes away and that's not true. WHen going out at night, plan for time to actually get into the city and back.
