I was really lucky, and had someone I could stay with while I found a place. I was a great experience to live with an Australian.

I knew english well before going to Australia. During my time in Australia I became more fluent and started to think in english, which makes communication easier.

Academic

Course recommendations

I think RMIT is going through a transition period, and I am sure that in less than five years it will be a top school. When I was there I saw a lot of improvment, in the buildings, teachers, and resources, but they had a long road infront of them. It really made me apprieciate Purdue a lot more!!!

My academic experiences

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

The teaching methods are much different than in the US and I understand that some may say they are better, but I didn't like the fact that it was unacceptable to question lectures. They also needed to upgrade there computers drastically, which they were.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course
