Why?

It would have been easier from the beginning to stay on campus as I would have had a place to live right away. I had heard that Monash's dorms were small and far from the city, so I opted to stay in a hostel until I found a place to live. I stayed in a hostel for 2 weeks before finding a 14 bedroom house in South Yarra. I enjoyed staying in the hostel as I met many many people from all over the world, and I liked my house in South Yarra because it was pretty close to the city and everything you needed was close by.

I had friends that stayed in the dorms at Monash. They are tiny and about an hour by public transport to the city. They all seemed to meet only American students and hang out with only Americans so to me it seemed to lessen their experience abroad.
