Personal comments
I liked the Espy in St. Kilda, Honkey Tonk in CBD, and anywhere on Hardware St. or Lygon for food. Definately you have to go to a footy game and check out the great museums in town. The beach was awesome as well.

It was difficult to adjust to the one exam at the end of the term vs multiple exams through the course of the class like I am used to. Study up, its tough that way.
