    Merry Christmas
    Masters student ako sa Canberra eto experience Ko sa first sem Ko. Medyo nadalian ako hehe.

    Class times usually sa hapon after office hours or Saturdays kung intensive ang class.

    Transparent naman sila dito paano ka igrade so just read kung ano mga assessment items na required per subject and ano hinahanap nila.

    Maging OC sa footnotes and citations.

    For cheap books look sa campus coop niyo or sa student VIP website. Personally I survived using library books. May instances na open book ang exams.

    @attysarle Thank you for sharing! I'm going to pay my fees this coming Monday na. I was not asked to give proof of funding by the school. How was your visa processing? Did the embassy ask you for show money?

    No show money on my part. I guess stream lined visa processing din sa iyo. One sem lang ang kailangan bayaran agad. My visa processing was delayed due to medical exams. Had to undergo sputum test and wait for 3 months. Hassle. I arrived one week late pero ok lang naman.

    After paying my school fees less than a week may eCoe na. Then visa application na Ko agad.

    @attysarle It's good that you were not delayed because of the medtest. School starts on Feb15 for me so I am praying that all will be well after my med exams tomorrow. This is a big risk for us. My husband left his job in Japan and will be coming home tomorrow para sabay kami mag process ng application. Praying that all will be well. Gaano ka na katagal sa Canberra?

    Hi ms. @mariellepaula how was your experience taking an MBA sa uni? I'm having doubts if kakayanin ba to study masters in a foreign country tapos uni pa. Factor din yung malaking tuition sa uni so kailangan ko din maghanap ng part time work to support yung everyday expenses ko. I'm an ECE graduate with more than a year of experience pa lang. Hindi naman po ba mahirap isabay yung post grad studies sa work, in terms of difficulty ng subjs and yung load na binibigay? Do you have some advices to share sa mga kagaya ko?
