Overall

I wish I had known...

I wish I had known more about the culture and the weather. I wasn't quite aware that most of my "knowledge" were prejustices.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

I am really glad and grateful that I had the possibility to study abroad. I very much enjoyed my stay in Australia and made a lot of new friends. The most important person at VUT was Herta Derrij, the International Coordinator! She was extraordinary helpful and friendly and overall is a very lovely person. A final advice for all other students: Australia is BIG!!!! From Melbourne to Adelaide it takes you ca. 12 hours by bus. Australia is a very VARYING country! In Melbourne for example it is very cold in winter! Overall: Have fun!!!!

I wish I had known...

It is difficult to find a good accomodation. We arranged it already from Austria - which was very good - as it takes quite a long time to do that in Melbourne itself, as there are not a lot of good offers.

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.

The level of the courses is not as high as in Germany or Austria. The courses are pretty easy for us. A little bit too easy.

Yan travel for less expensive if you plan your itinary before you go and buy a "package" which includes almost everything (bus from one city to another, tours to visit, nights in backpackers places, etc).
