Cultural snobs. Disclaimer: I am from WA, we don't get along with the Eastern States much at all, so I am salty. But snobs really does stand.
•
Expensive. Kind of like mortgaging a kidney to live there, but once again, thats pretty much every Aus capital.
•
Public transport is fair, but if you're from a big place like London or Singapore, its going to look sad. Once again, it's very good for Australia, its just responding to our population and enormous urban sprawl.
•
Drinking culture is huge in general, but once again that depends where you're from. It's an Australian thing.
•
AFL wars. An Australian thing.
•
Pretentious rep.
•
People do tend to stick with friends from high school or friends they make in class - in general students are much less likely to live on campus at any Australian uni, so it can take longer to make friends. Saying that, my best friend of several years now became close to me in my first week, while others I met by accident.
•
Be ready to commute. I'm not sure if there's really a large amount of student accommodation, but either way Australia is commuter country. I travel 40 mins by car just to get to uni, and thats the nearest one to me.
•
Class difference still lurks, just harder to notice.
•
Indigenous relations wars. Super gross. S**t hits the fan around Australia day every year.
•
ARTY AS ANYTHING. If you like art, culture, music, good food (although sell another organ to afford it, and it can be sometimes overrated) this is the place for you! Really a joy, and lots of international stuff happens there
•
Super multicultural
•
Very very left wing, with the Greens party having some sway (they rarely have any sway in Australia, except in the Senate.)
•
Very pretty - kept a lot of the Victorian and Edwardian stuff, and kinda clean? From what I hear its a much of a muchness, one friend who went to uni there said Melbourne was a bit gross, others say it just depends where you are.
•
Uni options - everywhere
•
Relatively cheap to fly to other Eastern States
•
Much less pollution than other capitals around the world.
•
Edit: also forgot, the natural sites of Australia are without compare.
