Medyo mahal ang cost of living. Before you move to Au, make sure na may ipon especially na ang laki ng tuition for Deakin tsaka take note na you are only allowed to work 20hrs a week. Dapat may maibayad ka na around $20k+ para di masyadong mabigat yung for the next sem. Makakapagfulltime naman during school break mga 2weeks so use that time wisely. Minimum salary is $18 per hour. Weekly fare is $38. Rent ng room is around $150 a week plus food pa. Ang value meal sa Maccas is around $6... Ang meal sa food court starts at $10.
Yung sa work, as long as hindi ka mapili I’m sure may mga available jobs naman, just prepare yourself mentally and emotionally kasi dito gagawin mo yung work na hindi mo pa nagagawa sa Pinas.
At the end of the day, it’s all worth it,
