Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. Having arrived in Melbourne on 20th July, I started University on the 22nd and haven’t managed to stop until now with exams all done.

So what’s Melbourne like? In a word, great. There’s more to do and see than you could hope to in a year. However, living close to the centre of what is regarded as the World’s most liveable city definitely offers tempting distractions; sometimes too distracting, which can make the prospect of studying and working seem less interesting than it usually does.

Studying abroad will challenge your time management skills as you balance studying, working, meeting new people, seeing new places, enjoying downtime and keeping in touch with everyone 10,000 miles away!

Without doubt, the best advice I can give anyone coming over is to prepare as much as possible, be sure that your student finance is all…
