Re: 9 months in.... solo...
Everyone who is saying the quality of clothes is lower is an idiot. Every bloody thing is made in China across the entire world! I have traveled across the US, Canada, Latin America and Europe as well as Southern Africa and EVERYWHERE is the label made in China. You are all fools if you think otherwise.
All the other points is just bloody opinion so not worthy of a detailed reply.

Interested to know how you have medicare? As an international student you have to have private medical cover and are not entitled to medicare even if from the UK. The Dr. used by international students here on the Sunshine coast only charges $5 per consultation for students. Does your uni have a recommended Dr?
What a shame you are so unhappy studying in Australia, interested to know why you chose to come here. It is obviously different to UK but what an opportunity you have had to live and study in another country.
Hope you start to enjoy yourself more soon. Good luck with everything.

Fair play to you for doing it on your own.
I don't agree or have no experience of other things you've said, but hey, it's your point of view and good on you for posting it.
Good luck in the future.

$5 per consultation, wow! We're here on a student visa and live in Redland Bay at the moment and we have Medibank private healthcare insurance and we have to pay $60 per consultation and get a small amount back from medibank. Our daughter has been refferred to a specialist and that will cost $200!! We are hopefully moving upto the Sunny Coast soon. Where abouts is the ($5) Doctor based?

Definately $5 to see the Dr. A special student rate for International students, not sure about regular students. Health cover is the one recommended for Int. students, can let you have more details if you need them. The Dr. is in Chancellor Park and again can send you more details if it will help. I'm afraid I don't know if this only applies to students at the Sunshine Coast Uni, but am more than happy to try and find out for you if it helps.

We are international students, but as you said the $5 fee might only be for uni students, but i would bevery grateful if you would find out for me. Cheers,
