A lot of students when they come to Melbourne worry about finances and how they will support themselves.
In a recent report by City of Melbourne it is quoted that 60% of students worry about finances.
Hence that is why many students turn to gambling as a way out. Also a lot of students are depressed and are feeling lonely.
A lot of them go to Crown for the gambling and not the eating. Most of the cheap eateries are in the casino.
Mai, 21, says that the living costs are waay too high and she is lonely in Melbourne. She didn't know who to turn to, so she turned to gambling as a way out. She didn't want to tell her parents that she was unhappy and lonely. For her making friends with the locals was difficult.
Another Asian student at RMIT also said that gambling was a way to deal with all of his financial problems. But little did he know that he would be in more trouble. He still has his school fees of $21,000 to pay as well as his rent. Right now he does not have a job, but his parents support him. They don't earn much.
Meanwhile the team at RMIT Newintstudents are happy to visit Crown but we promise we will not visit the casino area.
