need to say something to everyone who tried to aus... for higher edu...
when talking abt mel...

now there are lot of international students in mel..and the no of international students increasing rapidly in every semester. mostly from india and china.

any how even from sl. most young boys and girls wanna come aus for there studies. but they dont know what is the actual situation here. now there are hundreds of overseas students agents in sl.. and they tellin that " you can do wonders in australia ". their main aim is to promote unsuspecting students to proceed aus without givin correct facts. they paint nice picture about earn money and life in aus.

they telling that students need to worry about paying 1st semester fee in advance then they can earn both living expenses and course fee by doing part time. which is bull sh**. aus permits only 20 hours per week to work part time. but most of students working more than that. but now it is not easy to find a job here. even cleaning. as i know most of new students working in restuarants and other places for very low payment as $6-8 per hour. thats the truth. and they have to kill themselves for that. yap there are students doing good jobs and get good money. even if you are doing cleaning some places giving nearly $20 per hour. but now it is very very hard to find that kind of job.

but it is very hard to live without a support from parents or ....... and for students who working more hours is not easy to continue there studies with good result. bcs it is very hard. as i saw in my college... ( im the only sri lankan.in there.... ) most of them indians and chinese....most of indian guys working whole night and they sleeping in college times. people looking at them like....*&^""%. cant blame any one. bcs as i know those guys working for very less money. so they have to work more hours.

those agents encourage students with no position to support their education to studies in aus obtain financial sponsers or relatives for visa purpose. buit those people not going to give money to you to lears or living in here. so most of people now come here showing fake accounts and what happened to them is they get fu%^%#. ruined there studies and life.

but if we tell these things to peolple in SL..they dont beleive. they think that we are jealousy or something.

but this is the truth. without good financial backgroud dont try to come here.......
dont beleive what agents saying. they doing a business. they getting big commision for each student.

i thought to say this i saw lot of sri lankan student suffering without a part time job...i feel really sorry abt them cuz..they came here without knowing anything....

many people think that living abroad is like being in heaven..lol..which is NOT TRUE.. my personal idea is.... try to finish ur degree in SL....then try to go abroad to finish Msc.....etc...cuz is very cheap doing ur studies in SL than here. and parents can help you....im telling this to people who trying to come here with limited money..........

and i have seen students who did good jobs in SL..students who were in uni.... give up everything and come here as students. cant understand whats wrong with them.....does nt matter if u have enough money... but most of them dont have that.....

cuz i knw now most of students try to come aussie....if u see a newspaper thr r 100 s advertisements abt agents...am i correct..??


australia is not a heaven for specially international students....:yes:

    Thanks Cool Cartoon for the excellent reply. Its the same story in UK. Agents tell so many lies which makes students think UK is a heaven. Its true UK pound has a very high value but so much expenses here in UK. Student come to colleges and work like about 40+ hrs earning money. Actually more than 90% work only and no studies.
    Thanks for giving us the real picture about studying in Aus.

    BTW I have to comment on one point you mentioned. Its economically feasible to do a degree in Sl and come for a Msc in Aus. Thats the best way I can suggest to someone on a low budget.

    Cheers again for all the support given.

    BTW what the difference between a TAFE and a UNi. Does TAFE offers Degrees/Masters etc...?

    Also I would like to know what kind of facts the embassy consider when giving Aus Visa?
    Can anyone who got Aus Stud Visa guide me on about the docs that I have to prepare. Hopefully they will be the same as the ones I prepared to get UK student visa. :D

    TAFE... diploma level....cheap
    UNI.. degree level... expensive than TAFE

    u can follow a dip in TAFE then join with a uni to complete degree....

    best thin is try to apply to it tr an agent....cuz they will help u with every doc......

    u need to do IELTS....nad show ur financial details...
