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

I was able to sustain a conversation before I arrived but i was a bit shy and not sure of myself. but now it's really easier. I also now understand various accent because of the various nationalities represented in the uni. I feel more confortable chatting with people.

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.

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.

Personal comments
My favorite night and day spot actually is Darling Harbour. A lot of very nice cafés and restaurants and bars ( cargo bar is the best), beautiful view. Also Bondi Beach is really nice, the walk between Bondi and Bronte is great in the morning and even better with a brunch in this french café La Plage in bronte beach. Watson Bay is beautiful with a view on the city and on the ocean this other side.
