Course recommendations
I chose marketing undergraduate courses. I had work to do but it was really ok and easy to pass. But my roommate chose finance graduate courses. He spent all these days working and tests were very hard. So really think about that before and maybe ask for recommandations. Differences between courses are huge.

As a finance marketing student I felt that Investments 1 with Prof Murtugh was a very good course. He is a exellent professor and the course is educational and real life related.

I would try to coordinate the courses alittle bit better, specially with the projects. I felt like all the projects were due on the same date. This could have been better if only the professors communicated little bit more than they seem to do.

Personal spending habits
I found food to be less expensive here than home, that is the main reason for spending less on that. The telephone system in the US is a pain. The fact that you have to pay even though somebody is calling you is enoying and stupid. Drinks are cheaper here than home. It is more expensive to travel in Australia and I feel that it is more to see there than in the US.

Personal comments
Parties are all organized by frat. If you are a girl, it's ok you can go everywhere. If you are a boy, you have to know someone in the frat to go. Sometimes it's really annoying. Exchanges, also, meet at the bar on Tuesday night it's cool. But this semester, exchange students stayed by small group so it was a bit disappointing.
