The flights (I had four each way) can get really tiring and make a person go insane. I recommend taking one or two Tylenol PM to help you sleep on the long flights. I also recommend getting a massage in the Auckland airport (if you have a layover there) - it was the most amazing experience ever! Drink lots of water too!

Combine your studies with a part time job is a good idea to make some extra cash if you wish to travel around Australia. Ask for a GO CARD for students you will get great discounts when using public transport. Read some local newspapers before you arrive this will allow you to gain some knowledge about what is going on.

If you are a german resident, then contact the Ranke-Heinemann-Institut in Essen. They will help you with your application at the australian university. For free!

The flats were cleaned once every 6 weeks or so, so the rest of the time, all of the flatmates were responsible for cleaning...which didn't happen very often. The RAs attempted to get us to keep the flats clean with a duties delegation list, but no one in my flat stuck to it. Other flats, however, were spotless. I think it was just the people that I lived with. The accomodations office was very helpful in any matters that I needed resolved.
