Housing
Type of housing: shared accommodation with other students
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Having your own appartment is a great thing. It allows you manage your own time and space. Additionally, it is a better way to select eventual housemates to share with.

Personal comments
THe halls of residence seem to be in a terrible state and quite expensive (after checking them out). This makes them a pertty poor value for a mature budget student like me. Furthermore, the location is remote from central locations and appear to become a struggle when commuting to other parts of town.

I wish I had known...
Aside from the money issue, I think I knew most of what I needed. I wanted to be able to experience things as they came to me and not have a preconcieved idea as to what should be happening. If any problems did arise, the abroad staff at Monash was exteremly helpful, no matter what the problem.

Personal recommendation
I really enjoyed my time at Monash. The academics were excellent, and the atmosphere on campus was great. Everyone is very friendly and laid back. They encourage you to get invovled and make it very easy for you to become more active in the campus life.

Final comments
If you are thinking about studying abroad, whether at Monash or anywhere, GO. It will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself, and you will be amazed at the opportunites that arise from it. In the end it does not matter if the bathrooms weren't always clean, or it took you forever to get somewhere because you got lost, or if you finished a paper the morning it was due. It will be the friends you made, the things you did and days you couldnt stop smiling. It is not the easiest thing I have ever done, it is hard to so far away from my family and friends.Then once I left it was hard to be away from all the people and things I had in Australia, but it was the best decision I ever made. It has changed myself and life completely and all for the better.
