Student life
Describe host city:
Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Travel, Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal social experience
Personal comments
Place not to be missed are Brunswick and Lygon Streets, Melbourne offers permanently festivals here and there and they are all worth having a look. The great Ocean Road, Philip Island and Wilsons Promontory are unfortunately further away, but definitely worth seeing.
