If you're thinking about studying in Australia, you're probably feeling lots of emotions right now.

Studying in another country can feel like a very overwhelming experience and a massive challenge.

I was an international student myself, I did both my bachelor degree and my master's here, and I know firsthand what it feels like to move to another country,

leave your family and friends behind and having to adapt to a whole new culture or country and in some instances, at least in my case, a new language.

It's a massive turning point in your life

and it can definitely feel a bit overwhelming

so these are the things i wish i had known as an international student here in australia

if you're interested keep watching

okay let's start off with the admin stuff first

if you want to study here in australia you're going to need a student visa

so one of the main things that you can do for yourself

and to make the whole process much easier is to contact an education consultant as i've said in many videos education

consultants or education agents are people who help you get enrolled in an Australian university

and they process your student visa even your health insurance because

if you are not aware you do need to get health insurance

which is the condition of your student visa

so the best thing you can do is to contact an education consultant usually they are free

because they get a commission from the university

that they are going to be enrolling you in

so basically you don't have to pay for that service

which is a win-win something that i want to say though

and this is very very important so please pay attention is

that education agents have to be authorized by the university you're interested in applying to

so how do you find a qualified education agent go to your university website

and you'll see that they have a list of authorized education consultants click on

that list and filter by your country so check these resources

and make sure that they are authorized and qualified

and i'm saying this

because they have been reports of scammers people around the world pretending to be education agents

and stealing money from families under the promise

that they are education agents who are going to help you get into an Australian university.

So please do your own due diligence and make sure that they are qualified agents.

And the same applies for migration agents.

Make sure that they are MARA registered.

Okay, so that's my first recommendation.

If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed when you're researching what university to go to, entry requirements or how to enroll in that university, perhaps do a bit of research

and try to find an education consultant in your country

so they can do the whole all the paperwork and process your student visa for yourself.

Now my second recommendation and something that I wish I had known before is

that you can contact the university directly as well so if you have any questions regarding your study program,

tuition fees or what are the career pathways after you complete that program, what scholarships are available for people like you from your own country etc. The best thing

that you can do is to go to the university website directly.

All universities have a scholarship section for example if you are interested in

that or in terms of career outcomes etc. The best thing

that you can do is to send them an email

or contact them via their website and they're going to get in touch with you

because at the end of the day it's in their best interest to have you as a student right

so that's my main advice if you have any questions about

that contact the university directly

and in relation to this i had a full video on how i got a scholarship here in australia

so i recommend watching that if you want to know a bit more okay another point

that i like to emphasize relates to english learning the language

and practicing the language this is going to be paramount it's

going to be super important at the time of submitting your assignments

or even getting good grades and passing your exams at uni

so something that served me really really well is

that one year before coming to australia i spent months and months just studying English, focusing on that, on writing specifically,

writing is super important when you are having to perform at an academic level.

Try to focus on that and another point

that I want to emphasize in relation to this is that I highly recommend taking advantage of your English exam.

For example, I had to take the IELTS academic test

which not only helped me enroll in my university course

and get a student visa but it also prepared me for my university studies and for life in Australia.

And to be honest

if I hadn't prepared for the IELTS I'm not sure I would have been able to pass my university subjects

because having a good English level

when you're studying here in Australia is essential to be able to write assignments to participate in class

or to even communicate with your classmates now

if you're not feeling super confident with your English communication skills

and you want to better prepare for your English proficiency test the The IELTS Prepare by ITP Vodcast, the sponsors of today's video,

are an amazing and trusted resource for your IELTS preparation.

You can listen to their broadcast with audio

and video options on the IELTS by ITP app or even YouTube or Spotify or any other podcast platforms.

The best thing about this is that you'll basically be learning from industry professionals

and IELTS experts on how to effectively prepare for the test and maximize your IELTS scores.

So for example, if you need to work on your speaking or writing skills, they have dedicated episodes to each of these topics

and they give you tips and strategies on how to better prepare for each of the components in the IELTS test.

It's definitely worth checking them out

and it could be a game changer for your IELTS preparation

and it's something that I would have loved to have access to when I was preparing for the IELTS test.

Also, IELTS from IEDP offers a range of free personalized preparation material in different formats to help you achieve your goals.

Just check out the website if you want to find more resources

and I'll leave you a link down below to the IELTS by IETP app.

So take advantage of that English test, learn as much vocabulary as possible, learn how to grad essays.

That's something that served me really really well.

Another thing is accommodation.

So many students, many people usually ask me where do I stay when I'm a student in Australia?

What type of accommodation is available?

You have a few options.

You can stay in university accommodation, for example the university of melbourne has accommodation in their campus

and you can go and stay there

or you can stay in a studio apartment in the city

or you can go to a share house

which is one of the most common options

or you can rent an apartment for yourself

so you have a few options i have lots of videos

on how to rent a house in australia i'll leave you a link down below

and my best advice

if you're planning to look for accommodation like to rent an apartment for yourself

100

or a shared house is to rent an RV for a period of two weeks to four weeks

101

and during that time you can look for shared accommodation

102

or look for a house that will give you enough time for you to settle nicely, get familiar with your surroundings, with your environment, so that's a really really good option.

103

Now let's talk about university life in general and something that I wish I had known.

104

My best tip is to make the most out of your orientation week.

105

If you are not aware orientation week is basically a period during your first week of university

106

and if you're an international student my understanding is

107

that this is compulsory at least it was for me and during

108

that orientation week you're going to go to your university your

109

institution you can walk around you're going to meet people other

110

international students who are on the same boat as you they're new to the country they're new to australia

111

so this is an amazing time to make good friends

112

and to just get familiar with where your classes will be as well during

113

that week as well you're going to have to register for your student card, they're going to take a photo of you.

114

It's a good period as well to get familiar with public transportation, how to get to your university, make the most out of that.

115

So your first day of university you're going to feel super confident.

116

I remember myself I was very, very intimidated by the whole process but yeah, then you just adapt as you go.

117

Now in relation to this as well, you'll find that most universities here in Australia,

118

if not all, they have student services and lots of resources for students and international students particularly.

119

So make use of all those resources if you have any questions

120

if you have any issues at university you just go to

121

the student services hub go in person i highly recommend doing

122

that ask them any questions

123

if you have any inquiries that's your best your best resource another tip

124

and this is a very very big one for me

125

and one of the most important ones make friends try to

126

make friends be proactive don't close yourself in your cocoon many

127

people are intimidated i'm a very introvert person as It takes a

128

while perhaps to adapt and perhaps one becomes a bit shy at the time of making friends.

129

But this is something that I wish I had known.

130

You need to make an effort when it comes to making friends, especially when you've moved to the other side of the world.

131

You are by yourself or perhaps with your partner, but still it's just you or the two of you and no one else.

132

So you have to create a social network.

133

The best thing that you can do is to get involved, get involved in university activities, university clubs for example I do rock climbing so

134

if you do bouldering

135

or climbing perhaps you might be interested in joining a university rock climbing club

136

and you go on weekends with your peers you go rock climbing in the mountains you can go on hikes

137

or if you're into the arts for example you can go

138

and play an instrument get involved

139

and make friends that's one of the most important pieces of advice

140

that I wish I had known

141

because it's definitely not easy especially as an adult it becomes a bit more challenging

142

and in some instances for example classes you have different schedules as well it's not

143

that you share the same classes with the same people i guess it depends on the on the discipline

144

that you're studying but in my case i chose a different range of electives

145

and this is something else you can choose different electives throughout your program

146

but you're going to be with different people in different classes

147

so it's not

148

that you're going to get to spend a lot of time with them to develop those strong friendships right

149

so by getting involved in university clubs and meeting like-minded people as well

150

that increases the likelihood of you actually establishing very very good friendships another thing

151

if it's not university clubs you can also join meetup groups

152

talked about them in other videos especially on how to make friends in australia

153

but meetup groups are also an amazing free resource for you to meet new people

154

or even for example

155

if you want to practice your english you can go to

156

meet up groups for example at a bar in the city

157

and you meet other people you can play games it's an

158

amazing way of learning about the culture having a good time meeting new people

159

and practicing the new language so highly recommend doing

160

that as well okay now in relation to this in relation to making friends

161

and looking after your mental health yeah something that many students experience

162

and i've experienced it myself is culture shock culture shock is basically

163

when you move to a new country and it's

164

so different to your home country that you really have to adapt

165

and at the beginning you're a bit paralyzed by it right like how do you interact with these people

166

so culture shock can take many forms perhaps you have a bad experience in terms of interactions with other people

167

or perhaps you have a culture shock in terms of how

168

the new university works right for example i had studied back in argentina

169

and then i got the transfer

170

so the australian university system was very very different to what i was used to

171

that was a bit of a shock and i had to adapt up to

172

that so take your time and if you're experiencing any distress culture shocks know

173

that it's normal to feel perhaps a bit overwhelmed by the new country

174

and this new way of doing things look after your mental health the good thing is

175

that australian universities

176

and different australian institutions even in the workplace they have free

177

counseling support as well i've used it in the past

178

because yeah life it's life right so if you need any help

179

if you're feeling depressed or if you're feeling down

180

or even you're feeling very overwhelmed by the whole migration journey go

181

and seek help and again universities have free counseling support for students

182

so take advantage of that there's nothing wrong with asking for help

183

and it can be very good to have the opportunity to talk to a professional

184

and have that safe space another point and another thing

185

that i wish i had known earlier it's to network with

186

your teachers with your professors at university they can be amazing resources

187

when it comes to looking for a job

188

so this is something i wish i had known earlier then

189

of course at the end of my bachelor degree i did it

190

and it was amazing because for example i was interested in change management

191

and i fell in love with that subject and i contacted my teacher

192

and she said yeah come along to a conference

193

and i'll introduce you to some people she was amazing

194

so i found that university teachers here in australia are very very helpful.

195

Yeah, they don't have any issues in giving you some guidance in terms of career advice.

196

So I recommend networking with your teachers, trying to take advantage of that as well, because university at the end of the day, you're going for studying, but also you're going there for networking.

197

Now, another thing, perhaps an admin kind of related point is

198

that each university has its own learning management system

199

and basically this is kind of like a database where you're

200

going to have access to all your assignments your grade assessments

201

and different resources available that's where you'll have to submit your

202

assignments that's where all communication with teachers as well happens perhaps

203

you're going to have access to different forums as well to interact with different students

204

so getting used to a learning management system at least dedicate one day

205

or a few hours to get used to that

206

and yeah that's something

207

that i wish i had known just getting you to the learning management system of your university

208

and knowing how to submit assignments etc

209

and all those different rules now time management is another massive thing

210

that you need to consider

211

when you're studying managing your time effectively creating schedules for your

212

assignments as i said earlier i'm getting familiar with the learning management system

213

when your assignments are due because they are penalties

214

if you submit your assignment beyond the due date and

215

if you have any issues in terms of for example

216

if you need extensions etc you can talk to your teachers perhaps they give you some kind of exemption

217

or extensions considering different special circumstances another thing to know is

218

that the cost of living in australia is pretty high in

219

comparison to other countries although this is compensated by high salaries but

220

if you're an international student perhaps the first few months in australia you're not going to be working that's something

221

that you do need to keep in mind

222

that cost of living is high because tuition fees are extremely high

223

which it's fair enough but yeah you can expect to pay minimum 20k per year

224

and that's minimum for your degree and then yeah grocery shopping

225

and accommodation especially rent can be high as well

226

if you don't have a job so highly recommend budgeting for

227

that and making sure

228

that your finances are in the green i have a full video on how to live tip in australia

229

so or perhaps that could help you.

230

And in relation to that, take advantage of student discounts or student concessions.

231

So basically if you're a student you have different concessions

232

and discounts for example for public transport or for museums or for the movies etc. So make use of that.

233

Usually you just need to present your student card but talk to your university if you have any questions about that.

234

But yeah, make use of your student concessions.

235

In terms of work and volunteering, as you may be aware in australia you can work part-time generally depending on your discipline

236

but in general you can work part-time during your study period

237

and then full-time during your holidays yeah during the the break

238

so that's good good news

239

so it will give you the chance to get a bit of money

240

when you're studying and something that you can do is at university

241

so for example the first years you can perhaps do some casual jobs

242

if you want

243

but then your last year of university i highly recommend trying to get an internship a placement

244

or do volunteering work in professional environments

245

if getting a job is what you're after right after you graduate volunteering is super important this is something

246

that i've done while i was studying

247

and it was an amazing stepping stone for me to get a professional job after i graduated

248

because it got me not only local experience but also references

249

which are very very important if you want to know more about working in Australia.

250

I have lots of videos.

251

I'll leave you the links down below.

252

And another tip is explore Australia and get out there,

253

make friends, travel around, you move from the other side of the world very likely to this country to explore

254

and get to know people from different countries and different cultures, people who perhaps you wouldn't have met if you had stayed in your country.

255

And yeah, I hope you enjoyed this video.

256

I hope it is helpful.

257

I wish you all the best in your university studies here in Australia if you decide to come here.

258

Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.

259

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
