When picking a bank use Commenwealth as they have the most ATM machines in the city and using another bank to your owns will cost you money.
If you need a mobile phone go with Optus pay and go their tarrifs are amazingly cheap.
If you travel up the cost make sure you spend at least a week in Byron Bay its quite frankly amazing.

Don't assume everyone communicates in the same fashion (e.g. speaking to someone face to face, verses just sending an e-mail out about a meeting, etc., was very important to the Australians and made the difference between people showing up and not.

Queensland University of Technology is a middle aged university hence, there is a lot it still has to learn yet the university is eager to learn. I was only involved in the Meida and Journalism school so I can not speak for the rest of the university.
If you want a university that is in the heart of a beautiful city, compact, and that has friendly people, I highly recommend Queensland University of Technology.

Make an effort to interact outside of your nationality.
Attempt to visit Australian's home and learn what their day-to-day activities include.
Australia is a very safe country-but always be on gaurd.
Make sure to see, sweat, feel, taste, touch, walk, run, skip, sing, yell, roll,...everywhere!!!

It was a great year, Brisbane is a wonderful city to live in but maybe not so good for spending your holidays there. There are far better places like the Whitsunday Islands, Fraser Island or Tasmania. Australians are really friendly and lovely people, open to everyone.

If you get in trouble with your landlord you should contact the RTA, which is the organisation holding the deposits of tenants. In the case of a dispute, the RTA is the third, neutral party, that determines if/ how large a part of the deposit that should be repaid to the tenant when moving out.

“QUT Online vs QUT”
Ashlee
Australia, Graduate
, 2023
Overall
Before studying with QUT Online, be aware it's separate from QUT.
Read this article: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/mar/07/no-actual-teaching-alarm-bells-over-online-courses-outsourced-by-australian-universities
I enrolled with QUT Online and found the support, teaching materials, and "Learning Advisors" to be horrible. In one of the courses the "Learning Advisor" couldn't even give us answers to practice questions in our learning material. The content we studied vs the content in the exam were completely different, a majority of students complained to the student ombudsman.
This was just my experience with this particular course, i'm hoping other area's aren't as dodgy. I spent thousands of dollars on these units and I feel as though I've been ripped off. Think twice before enrolling with QUT online.

Pros
This is the only University that offers a Graduate Diploma in IT (Business Analysis)
Cons
Everything with online studying! Employ learning advisors that actually know the content and improve the learning material.
