The guide was really easy to use and it was divided into five parts. The guys included the hidden extras such as gym membership, car registration and other things such as going to the pubs which universities do not tell them. Students can work out the full cost of studying in Australia beyond the $18,610. The $18,610 is the money that Immigration requires the student to show before they arrive in Melbourne.

In actual fact the cost of living in Melbourne is $31,000 per year.

Also this tool shows the support services that students can expect to receive whilst in Melbourne. They will email you the recommendations and it is worth checking them out. So far they have emailed us two.

But there will be more in the coming months.

The cost of living calculator is only available to students studying in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. You can check it out here.
