I wished I had known how easy it was to travel around in hostels and meet people, because I was really scared about it before I left.

Its a little far from the city but overall my experiences there were good. The study abroad administration there is great and very helpful! I never experienced any problems but I know if I did I could have counted on them to help me there.

To sum it up, my experience in Melbourne was by far the best experience of my life. I learned sooo much, became very much more independent, and overall had a great time. Before I went over there I had never met anyone else from another country. I now can say I have good friends from all over the world and the US... Especially Australia and England. Australia is a beautiful country. I toured the entire east coast and loved it. I would highly recommend Byron Bay, and the Whitsunday Islands. and of course i LOVED melbourne, its an incredible city! All in all I had an incredible time and wouldnt trade my time that I spent there for anything in the world!! If anyone wants any advice or anything at all feel free to contact me, as I would be more than happy to help you guys with anything!!

Make sure to rent a van and see the Great Ocean Road! Go up to Byron Bay and go boogie boarding!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I enjoyed the dorms but I was a bit old compared to the other students. The apartments are also closer to the city where the dorms are VERY limited!!

Personal comments
The single rooms are VERY nice. The ground floor, where I stayed was very secluded, which could be good and bad. THe other rooms allowed you to meet more people and mingle very easy. You receive sheets once a week which is really nice and a maid cleans your bathroom. All accomodations are both male and female which I thought was very different, but also a GREAT way to live!

Studying at Monash is a great experience and an ideal place to interact with students from all over the world. in terms of education, the standards are really high and business education is greatly appreciated among the employers. This is especially true when it comes to learning about marketing. The marketing department of monash caulfield has notably won a world award in 2002 rewarding the marketing research department: elected world best for 2002.(another goods reason to choose Monash!)

Studying in australia is a great and very valuable experience. ON both academic and interpersonnal levels, one can easily develop himslef. Regarding the education, it is just really good! When it comes to travelling and experiencing another culture....it is even better.....the australian scenaries are simply beautiful!!! travelling through this conutry will leave breathless....there is so much to be seen....finally, the Aussies are great people, always here to help and generally very easy to come across with.
In a few words....come to Australia!
