Course recommendations
Do NOT take all IT course and plan to have fun. Try to keep up on studies, or else you'll pay for it on the finals.

Personal comments
Socializing in Australia is a really easy task. Locals are generally interested in foreigners and it is equally interesting to learn the well-known 'aussie' accent.
ON the other hand, it is true that it takes a little while to get used to the local expressions and accentuation but overall, the Australian English is very similar to the British English.
Additonally, the great level of interaction between students and lecturers enhances the students ability to argue in front a large groups of people.
Though, this experince has helped me to further improved my english skills.
Monash is a great place to study abroad.

Wow this is so hard to pick as there are many places that I would say not to be missed. Wednesday nights at Frostbites on Chapel Stin South Yarra were always a good time. It was backpacker night so there were cheap drinks and there was a good cover bar. If you want a good dance club I would recommend going to Spy Lounge on King St in the city. For a good bar to relax and have a few drinks at would be E 55 on Elizabeth St. Flinder's lane has "heaps" of fun places to go out. You also cant miss the many hidden alley bars like Honkey Tonks that give Melbourne so much character.

Personal spending habits
I ate out a lot so I spent more on food. Cell phones are ridiculous over there. It costs about 40 US cents per minute to call within Australia-even to call someone that lived down the street from me. It was much cheaper to call the US than any of my friens in Australia. I went out a lot more there than I do @ home so of course I spent more on nightlife. I traveled a lot in the little time that I was there so I spent a lot on that. I Just wanted to have fun so I really didnt care how much I was spending. I am definitely paying for it now that I am back at home and in debt..but it was definitely worth every penny that I spent.

Personal comments
I pretty much knew going into it that I was going to spend quite a bit of money so there were no surprises. The only reason I wont give this a good rating is because I am in debt now!!
