Australia is not a good place to study, been here for 1 year:

- international student fees are very high & lectures are bad

- no transport and other concessions to international students

- it is a INDUSTRY, aimed solely at generating profit while providing poor value

- you can work 20h/week, but many international students get payed less than minimum wage

-  overcrowded university facilities

- no opportunities to work here after your degree

Don't bother, there are better places to study!

Absolute Rubbish.. I am an Indian student myself been here for over 4 years now.. It is a blessed land. Amazing environment, amazing people.. Peaceful country.. Of course like any other place in the world, there are racist, violent and A'holes here in Australia too, in-fact I was attacked by a couple of D'heads last year probably for being an Indian but you cant call Australia racist where you have a million sweet hearts and a few d'heads..

unrealstic... the reason india as a country has been singled out has been adequately demonstrated by the 2010 Commonwealth Games... Athlete village was a mess... but its labeled cultural differences... I deal with Indians every day and that reason stopped me reasoning your filthiness was just a cultural difference... no more live and let live

what an unfair and ungrateful comment. Australia is made up of immigrants from around the world, I should know, I am one myself! Why do we have so many students that try to immigrate here illegally if that's the case?

Pffff

Australia is the most racist white country in the world, having recently surpassed South Africa.

there are too many students for Australian population, better help should be given for lesser numbers

however many use it to try to emigrate
