The thing is not this sept. but next sept (2005) I want to go to a different University for a year and try it out. I Just need to get out of this place (Again! lol). So I was wondering if any of you could give me some advice on Universities. Here are some things to keep in mind. I'm in Canada at the moment, so I think I can go to any Canadian university, right? .. For other Universities (like the states, Australia, UK, etc.) What do I need for it? How much is it? Etc .. Also if it helps I am "legal" to work/study/live in European countries without visas. For now I don't have anything really specific, but once I get some ideas from different places I will pin-point some stuff down and ask for more details.

They set up education fairs in many Asian cities to attract foreign students to their campuses. I am sure if you get in contact with an Australian consulate or the embassy they will advise you on who to contact for further information.

Like is it easy for an international Student to get a job while studying? Well the unemployment rate is 5.4 % so it is pretty low many students get jobs in the tourism and service industries like clubs and restaurants. Not a high paying area but it can help subsidize the cost of living here. Also a lot of backpackers earn good money by picking fruit and grapes and such but you may have to travel a bit to get to the areas that need pickers so if your doing a full time course you may be able to get some picking work only in the breaks. And another question while I'm at it .. Do you know what type of professions are needed in Aus? (Just incase I want to cater my degree and education to apply for citizenship ) ... oh oh oh, and is it hard to apply now-a-days? Well the one that sticks out is nursing and aged care. also child care is in demand. I am sure you could right a letter to the embassy they probably will be able to give you some pointers. Maybe i would not ask it while applying for a student visa they may think your intention is to become an illegal immigrant and they have no tolerance for that in Australia. I would keep the inquiries separate. Yes it is hard to get into Australia these days the demand is so big and the places are limited.

I don't know diddly about Canada, but in the USA each school has slotted a certain amount of students to come from foreign countries, etc. If you apply to them and you qualify you may very well be granted admission, granted you pass an immigration screening and receive a student Visa. Pick a college, give them a hollar. And of course, if you have the money, then any school is more apt to listen to what you have to say. Also, your course of study may have a major influence on what school will or will not accept you. I know that if you are majoring in molecular biology, or nuclear fission there are a ton of schools here in the States that perk up when a prospective student with these fields of endeavor come calling. But if you are a liberal arts major (pick any of those majors - all the same to the school) you probably won't even get an ear that will listen to you. Artists and musicians are a dime a dozen. Those majoring in hard core science and math are the students the universities are desperate to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you recommend to study in Australia? (specific Uni, or city etc. ) ... I haven't been there yet, so geographically not sure where would be the nicest. No worries Pryzma i love helping you As i have said maybe Brisbane would be the nicest place for you but i am no expert on Australian universities. So have a look at the links that i have given you and get in contact with the consulate and embassy i am sure they will direct you to people who know far more than me All Praise The Ancient Of Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
