Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I really enjoyed living in the city. The campus was 40 minutes away from the center. I was also better to meet people and enjoy the sydney's life

Personal comments
Theyn were pretty far from my campus and really far from the center. Also I was 24 when I was there and the majority of students on campus were younger.

Course recommendations
Make sure that the level of the course is adapted to what you have already studied before. I had one course that I already studied 2 years ago so i was bored during this class

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It is a good uni even if people say it's not a really good one. It's important to choose very carefully the courses you want to study and then it will be very interesting. Talk to people to know more about the courses.

During my experience abroad, I ...
(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Australia is a great country, if you wanna travel for a cheap price you need to check the backpackers magazines and choose some destination. I recommend the great barrer reef, the red center and the great ocean road and Frasier Island. Try to meet people early in order to save accomodation cost when you travel. Check travel website for cheap airflights.
