My favorite night and day spot actually is Darling Harbour. A lot of very nice cafés and restaurants and bars ( cargo bar is the best), beautiful view. Also Bondi Beach is really nice, the walk between Bondi and Bronte is great in the morning and even better with a brunch in this french café La Plage in bronte beach. Watson Bay is beautiful with a view on the city and on the ocean this other side.

I was able to sustain a conversation before I arrived but i was a bit shy and not sure of myself. but now it's really easier. I also now understand various accent because of the various nationalities represented in the uni. I feel more confortable chatting with people.

Overall
I was studying in this crappy university until I realised my personal information was unlawfully accessed, unlawfully used and unlawfully disclosed my personal information. I have been affected by this and they treated me like rubbish. Don't study at this university as they'll do that to you and you probably wouldn't know
