Q: Where do most Chinese go to in Australia for living or study?
Do most go to Melbourne, Sydney, or another city?
They go to the big cities. Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.
Three reasons why they go.
1) You pay the full tuition fee you are 99% guaranteed a spot no matter how bad your grades where in High School.
2) The law has changed now but I swear they don't know. Previously after studying for a couple of years you can apply for Australian residency.
3) They send the daughters and/or sons to put the dirty money into bank accounts
philbravery:
was that a typo or did you do poorly at math hahahahaha
Are you still coming back next month?
brisguy:
Was to early in the morning for correct spelling. Sure will be. Will arrive on the 28th of April. I'll PM you with email/number when it comes closer.
As Bris guy said they go to major cities
in Brisbane your choices are pretty big
however Griffith Uni is near the suburb of Sunnybank which is like being back in China on some days
The Gold Coast Uni has just expanded and is becoming popular
then QUT and the rest are all doing big Business
The advice I give to all my students who are going to an English speaking nation for study is NOT to live in a Chinese community, which ever nation you go to.
Your priority should be your studies, to get the best from your University you need to perfect your English, you won't do this if you are living 'in Chinese'.
Of course, sometimes you will want to socialise and mix in your native tongue, but for the sake of your degree, (which usually your parents are paying heavily for) this should be on special occasions, not a routine.
MissA:
I teach international students and the first thing tell them is DON'T live with people from your own linguistic background. 90 per cent of them ignore me, but honestly I can understand why - your own culture is a comfort blanket when you're somewhere new for the first time.
sorrel:
I also prepare students for international studies. I spoke to students recently who completed their studies abroad and asked about their experiences. Those who listened had integrated more were more successful in their studies. But when you are that age, you are probably not going to listen no matter how good the advice is.
Macquarie Uni in Sydney is full of Asian students, and the majority of them are Chinese - that place has some good programs but its ridiculously corporate and profit oriented.
Also, many of them seem to spend their days hanging around the CBD just waiting for me to leave work so they can jump in front of me while I'm running late for my bus....
brisguy:
Remember when I work at North Ryde and having lunch at the Maqaurie Centre swear was like walking into a Chinese shopping centre with the amount of Chinese people.
