There are quite a few China students studying in Australia, most of whom are concentrated in well-known cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, which have developed businesses and concentrated populations.

George suggests that you choose some other Australian cities, such as George's hometown of Adelaide and Brisbane. There, you can also get a good and guaranteed education. For international students, it is more suitable for study and life. The standard of living in Sydney is high, and it is generally impossible for international students to live in apartments in the city center, where the rent is high. Usually the rent for two rooms 1 hall is about 3000 yuan per week. So many international students live in the suburbs of Sydney. George said that the rent of the same house in Adelaide is only about 1000 RMB, and the cost of living is much lower, but the quality of life is not worse than that of international students in Sydney and Melbourne. Choosing a region where there are few foreign students in China will also help you learn the language and experience the local culture.

2. Choose a major and don't "follow the trend"

Choose your major according to your own preferences. Now most international students have chosen business and IT as their major. In fact, apart from these two majors, there are many courses that Australia can study. This is also helpful for employment after graduation.

3. Determine the goals to be "considered"

Before choosing a school and major, students can make a detailed investigation and comparison through the Internet. If you have any questions about the school and major, you can contact the Education Office of the Australian Consulate General in Shanghai for consultation, and you can also get the latest and most accurate information.

4. It is most practical to think of a high score.

Once you decide on the school and major to study abroad, you should prepare for the IELTS test as soon as possible. High school graduates with IELTS 5 can apply for studying in Australia, but they must receive language training before entering the school. A half-point IELTS score means 10 weeks of language courses. Only when IELTS reaches 6.5 can you enter the university. Therefore, the higher the IELTS score, the more expenses you can save.

5. Pay attention to traffic safety

The traffic habits in Australia are quite different from those in China. International students should pay attention to these changes, drive carefully and obey traffic rules.

6. Experience Australian culture

George suggested that international students should study in Australia for at least 1 year. Studying in Australia is under great pressure and the schedule is tight. 1 year, it is difficult to experience Australian culture, and some even fail to learn English well. In the process of studying in Australia, students can join some school clubs, experience local culture and learn authentic English.

7. Don't rush to find a job after graduation.

It is not easy to find a job now. This is a problem all over the world, not Shanghai. After returning, international students are often eager for success and can't find a job within six months. However, there are actually many students looking for jobs. The so-called "waiting for the sea" should find its own reasons. Whether your English level is really good and your professional level is solid enough.

8. Spend more time on planning

It is suggested that it takes 1 to 2 years from the planned study abroad to the application. The whole application process takes about half a year, and it also takes a long time to know the country you want to go to and choose the major you want to study.
