Commentaire personnel

Australian english seems to be a mix of European english incorporated with their own Australian dialect. It's fun. Just listen, you will figure it out.

Commentaire personnel

Currently the exchange rate is in the US's favor--this was nice. Always ask if they have a 'student' fair.

Recommandations de cours

The Media and Journalism School is still developing itself. Student have the ability to challenge the course and their instructors because of the relaxed atmosphere. Given this freedom though one must take it upon him/herself to be completely responsible for his/her decisions and actions.

Si j'avais su

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.

Recommandation personnelle

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!!!

Commentaire personnel

Brisbane, Australia is a pedestrian friendly city. There are people moving barges called, 'City Cats', that transport only pedestrians up and down the river. Both the bus and above ground train (the only kind they offer) is reliable and safe. You must make time to have (a) beer(s), preferabely the Queensland beer called 'Four X', with one, two, or many of your mates at 4p.m. at least two working days out of the week. There are many excellent Irish pubs. The disco scene is okay. Gourmet coffee is superb overall. For an evening coffee and/or sweet check out coffee shops in the area of town, West End (e.g. Crazy Cat, The Three Monkeys, etc.). On Anzac Day, get your ass out of bed at 4a.m. and head down to Anzac square in the city to watch a beautiful ceremony. Than make sure to watch the sun rise at Mt. Coo - tha. Make sure to spend at least 95% of your day outside!
