I wish I had known...
Don't be shocked if you come from a non Asian county. There are so many Asian students in Australia, it seems that the majority of all students on campus are Asians. It's ok, but just be prepared. They are nice guys and gals... :)

Take this big step towards the unknown. It's definitely worth it. The experiance is unforgettable, but you must be a participant not a spectator. Take actions, join clubs, travel, go out...

the structure of the course.It is due to the fact that MQ has a complex curriculum and students are likely to take an ideal course if they have more knowledge about that

The biggest drawback was the location, although it gets better when a new trainline is build. Two out three of my teachers were good, although only one was native, which was a bit disappointment.

If you want to travel, you need quite a lot time. Australia is a huge country and mid-semester break might not be long enough. I even had lectures during the break. The most important thing you need is open mind.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I actually changed houses in the second semester and chose to look for accommodation independently. I found a room in a shared apartment in the city centre.

Personal comments
The university housing was everything I expected about it: it was spacious, clean and with every facility one could reasonably need. It was located on campus, but also next to a shopping centre and to public transport. I shared it with two American boys and a Japanese girl, and the neighbours were from all around the world, making it a trully international environment.
