According to The Australian about 51% of students are happy to live in Aus. The high cost of living has meant that many students cannot afford to study here without some form of part time jobs.
The Uni fees are quite high and according to Study in Australia a lot of students are looking for scholarships to ease the pain. It is currently about $16000-$36000 per year.
Our Aussie dollar is quite high at the moment. Hence in some countries such as China it may cost more to exchange currency.
One factor contributing to this is the Public transport costs to and from uni. International students are not eligible for concession cards
Melbourne has a lot of cheap eats but that might not be for everyone. Our eats are over $5.
Employers pay students very little. They pay about $8-$10 per hour which is illegal. A Indian student said that he was being paid less than the local students by $7 an hour at Starbucks.
But there is hope. The City of Melbourne has released a new draft strategy for International students and you are invited to have your say on Wednesday 23rd.
