hello, I'm glad to answer your question.
I'm in Sydney now, and I went to Melbourne the other day. I regret not going to Melbourne.
first of all, the rent. Rent a room in Melbourne CITY, and more than 1 Australian dollars a week will be OK. A room that can be rented in Sydney CITY costs about 3 Australian dollars per week. In the suburbs. In Melbourne's East District, which is a rich area, an ordinary house with two bedrooms and one living room can only be rented for 28 yuan (because that's what my friend rented the house), while in Sydney, such a house can be rented for 5+.
secondly, the price of food is not much different. There are Chinatown in both places.
The weather in Sydney is better than that in Melbourne. It's not that cold in winter. Melbourne is very cold in winter. But Sydney feels that there is no plan. Melbourne is well planned. Sydney has more people than Melbourne.
suggestion: if you are an international student. Let's go to Melbourne. You can save half the money on renting a house. If you work, the wages on both sides are similar.
Living expenses:
If you rent a house to cook by yourself, it may be cheaper. The local rent is calculated on a weekly basis, generally 145AUD/Week, and the food cost is about 7-9 AUD/week. If you choose homestay, the cost will be relatively expensive, and the school dormitory is the most expensive and tense. Now the consumption level in Melbourne is almost the same as that in Sydney. Melbourne is a little cheaper, but from the perspective of house rent, the two places are basically the same. So you don't have to pay special attention to money when you go to Sydney and Melbourne.
The annual living expenses of international students in Sydney and Melbourne are between 12, and 15, AUD. If you don't have 12AUSD, working will become very stressful, which may affect your study to some extent. Because a job can't be found right away, and it's not a job that can make you graduate forever.
Part-time:
Part-time jobs should not be difficult to find, both are big cities. But they are all manual labor, washing dishes, washing dishes, fast food restaurants or 24-hour convenience stores. It's hard to say if you want to find a formal job. Sydney, located in NSW, has a large population and many job opportunities, and there are many international students (especially from China). Of course, the competition is fierce. VIC's Melbourne has a small population, and of course there are fewer job opportunities than Sydney. If the hourly wage is paid, it should be similar.
tips:
Since the landlord has chosen this city with the highest consumption in Australia, there must be sufficient funds. Then the key is to see what school you go to and what major you choose. Melbourne has MoDa, monash, RMIT, La Trobe, etc. MQ's accounting is the first in Australia, and it is also the most difficult. It takes 2.5 years to study, and you have a CPA after graduation, but if you can't pass CPA, you won't get a Degree, which is very risky! Of course, other universities also have accounting. If you want to immigrate, this is 6 points, the only one in business!
MoDa, monash, University of Sydney and UNSW are eight famous universities, so I won't say much. RMIT engineering is better (architecture, logistics and so on).
Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia, the capital of Victoria with the reputation of "Garden State" and an important industrial town in Australia. Melbourne is famous for its strong cultural atmosphere, greening, fashion, food, entertainment and sports activities. Melbourne's green coverage rate is as high as 4%. Victorian buildings, trams, opera houses, galleries, museums, tree-lined gardens and streets constitute the elegant style of Melbourne.
Melbourne is a vibrant and joyful city with profound cultural heritage. In the eyes of the Australian people, Sydney, the largest city, is prosperous, but it is only a commercial city, while Melbourne is a famous historical and cultural city. Melbourne is the only ancient building in Australia that has been listed in the United Nations World Cultural Heritage, and has a splendid human history. It is also a perennial host city for many famous international sports events. From the diversity of culture and art to the beauty of natural scenery, Melbourne has everything. In terms of satisfying sensory entertainment, Melbourne can be said to be the highest in Australia, with its own characteristics in art, culture, entertainment, food, shopping and business. Melbourne has successfully integrated humanity and nature. From 199 to 26, it was selected as "the most livable city in the world" by the Washington-based Population Action International for ten times.
Lifestyle
People say that Melbourne is a beautiful city. She has a very modern architecture, a busy central business district, surrounded by spacious streets and open parks and green spaces, while the surrounding area of the city is a lush scene.
In the large-scale Asian and European communities, the eastern and western cultures have been merged to the maximum extent, which has promoted the development of Melbourne's catering industry and made Melbourne's cuisine enjoy an international reputation. Every night, there will be different flavors of food from Asia to Europe to the Middle East for you to choose from.
In Melbourne, you can choose your favorite lifestyle to spend every day, either relaxing or exciting. Melbourne is now known as the most livable city in the world.
I look forward to your satisfaction ~ ~
