Education fees

Sample image

Most of international students must pay the whole amount of their education fees on their COE. So, you must know that if you dont have an Australian passport you're going to pay more.
 

Transportation

Sample image

Using a train or a bus in Australia will cost you more, because you are not eligable to get a student ticket even if you are a student in Australia. So, do not get yourself in trouble with police. Simply, pay 2 times more than any Australian student or try to walk.
 

Better place to live

"Discrimination" may mean nothing for a regular person who lives in his own country.  Before I come to Australia, I really do not know what discrimination is. I really believed that people treat each other equally because all we are the same whatever we think or whatever we believe. Guess what... now I do not believe that because of Australians. My appearance is totally a European, and that saves me from being discriminated most of time, but I see Aussies change on their face after I say where I come from. Anyway, I listen eveyday coversations of out-going Australians -mate I've found a pub only Aussies go.  Himm, should I say to him that I am one of those people who do not go that pub, or disguise and ignore him like usually I do. 

 

 

This country Abuses Asians legally because if you abuse people legally, it is not a discrimination anymore yeah damn right. Moreover, Asian people earn much less than Australians and superior Australian Bureau of Statistics only computes how equal Australia is. Let me give you an example nearly all of the low paid jobs filled by Asian workers around me and most of them work in bad conditions with zero legal protection. Some of you may disagree me but it is very hard to imposible for them to dare to fight back legally, because if you stay in a country with strict visa conditions you have to accept minor problems like this. In addition, most of Asian students are robbed, raped and attacked regularly and if you are lucky, you can see one or two sentences on newspapers about that. This article is very fresh and I suggest you to read it 

Asian origin is an issue in Australia, say Indian students

 

I know most of Australians will disagree me and will try to explain about the discrimination act. The discrimination act is written  on a paper in 1991, and that paper could not save people from being robbed or raped from the believers of the old act , because the old act "White Australia Policy" was the previous policy which bolstered discrimination offically in Australia long time. Now, Australians believe that the new law will protect the minorities in Australia being discriminated from Australians. I believe the new law is still fresh and many generations lived and believed the old act. I do not say that who born before 1991 will discriminate because of the old act. I say that We "humans" love to have a higher positions than others. We "humans" do not leave our higher positions easily.

Wanna Move?

It can be really tricky to find a reliable and cheap house in Australia. What you should do is to look at your school's billboards and classifieds. Or, if you have enough money (*for about 200$ per week) click here.
