- Ed BolandRetired AmbassadorAnother way of putting the whole horsepower thing into perspective; the same model year Ford Mustang (1980) with the 302 V8 (5.0 liter) put out exactly the same amount = 120 horsepower.

- Ed that thing is huge! I haven't seen a car that big for a long time. I knew a few people with cars like that.
You can fit a large family in there and still have room for a hot tub...
Enjoy! Not my kind of car but as long as you're happy. :)- Share

- Man it looks great. I always liked those old American cars. Maybe I've already said this, but the car I wish to own is definitely Plymouth Baracuda. It's just pure perfection.

- Yesterday was worth it but I feel outside of myself today. Woke up with legs that felt like cement along with feeling light headed.
Feeling a little better now but after the fact, it had me thinking about the silly stuff that I choose to put energy into.- Share

First thing to know about Australia is that it's a very expensive place to live. The cost of living is very high.
The school year is completely different than in Europe. It runs from Feb to Dec (with several breaks). Hottest months are typically Dec, Jan and Feb.
Next is that universities are similar to US in pricing in that you pay more for 'prestige' universities of which there are several. You'll also pay the full cost of the course being an international student and you won't get any breaks whatsoever. They will treat you a bit nicer simply because you're paying more. Local students get subsidies.
There are universities in smaller towns but you may find it a bit boring or possibly have difficulties with the locals. Just stating the truth. In small towns you may need a car more than in a city. Public transportation in small towns is not that great.
So the thing you need to do is find a university. Majority of universities (all?) have an 'International students' section on their website. It explains the process of applying for a a course and getting the visa.
Here's an example - Queensland University of Technology or QUT (yeah I have tendency to put an I after the U as well)...
https://www.qut.edu.au/ - you'll notice the International Students tab at the top. Use that as a starting point.
You might find that your country isn't listed to get the requirement details so you'll have to contact the university directly. Your country probably isn't the only one not listed so don't fret about it. These universities are going by their typical student intake.
You should keep in mind the name of the course you want to apply for in the EU will probably be different or might not exist at all.
The way the system works is that you apply for a course through the university. Discussing everything with them so that you meet requirements and so on. They'll send you a letter of offer and then you apply for your visa. You cannot apply for a visa until you get your letter of offer from the university.
Here's the link to the visa infromation - Studying in Australia | australia.gov.au
Also you have the ability to work 20 hours a week (if you wish) - https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Stud/...t-visa-holders
What I would suggest is that you sort out where you want to live first (I can offer suggestions based on your desires). Find a university, find the course, contact the university get the offer and then get a visa.
I didn't go through the whole visa information but I noticed the cost is $550 AUD. Also, I believe you'll need medical insurance and you'll need to have a medical check of some sort. Also an IELTS English language score. All at your expense of course. :)
One last thing.
There are two levels of further education in Australia. To avoid confusion, there is TAFE - Technical And Further Education (basically technical college) and then University. I assume you're after universities and that's what you should be looking for.Last edited by N_LaRUE; 02-20-2017 at 07:05 AM.

- Less than a day battery life. Very poor compared to what my P9 achieves in the same usage pattern.
Basemark OS II figures were surprisingly low. I'm now trying to use this for my light business work, basically office work, no development which we all know it's not capable of.- Share

- True. Attendance is mandatory unless you're ill and have a note from a doctor. They'll terminate your visa and send you home if you do not maintain attendance. Australia is very strict about that too.
