Question to Australians.

[kyryllo]

I decided to go to Australia for a semester next year. Previously I wanted to go to Rome got a place but the Uni is too chaotic and the city too expensive so I dumped it.

My university has a partnership with the following in Australia
Victoria University, Melbourne
University of the Sunshine Coast, Maroochydore
Griffith University, Brisbane

I don't have to pay any fees on these and will receive around AU$950 of a scolarship from the german education department plus plane ticket to Australia and back home. I'm studying sport science and media/communications.

My question is if any body could give me some info on the schools and the living costs in the cities (I'm leaning towards Brisbane or Melbourne), or anything else I should know.

Thanks in advance.

Maroochydore is beautiful.
Brisbane is a wonderful, laidback city.
Melbourne is a mecca for shopping.

All are great places in their own respect and are pretty close to being as expensive as each other.

Take the chance and go to Brisbane!

I wonder why you would choose Brisbane...

All I can say is that I'm insanely jealous. I've always dreamed of living in Australia...never been, so not sure where the obsession started.
Go, have fun, live the dream, and bag you some aussie tail!
