Personal comments
More tailored teaching, meaning more one-on-one interaction w/ teachers. Yet, teachers in Melbourne Uni, Australia are so much more accessible than in my home institution in Bordeaux France!!!

Final comments
Down Under is the perfect place for those willing to prctice / improve their language skills, in a very laid-back enjoyable cosmopolitan (Asian influence) way of life. About Melbourne, it's a terrific liveable city in the crossroads of Europe and the States. You go there and you love it. You leave, and you want only one thing: to go back.
