Joe Said:

what are the problems related with shared accommodation for international students in australia?

We Answered:

I don't think will be any major differences betweens problems for aussie students and international students in regards to shared accomodation..

Aside from the obvious, such as language barriers or familiarity with the area.. the issues are the same.

Universities in Australia have lots of help services for international students. My university has a special international student centre, as well as orientation programs, study help, and more!

Clyde Said:

When will international students learn that Australia is NOT a racist country?

We Answered:

Forget the international students. I am totally embarrassed for the Aussies out there that seem to think that the REAL indigenous Australians can be treated like second class citizens and that racist attittudes towards them is acceptable. I feel that a lot of Aussies that are perceived as racist aren't actually racist but are afraid to go against the racist opinions of others (not always racist opinions, maybe bigotry or ignorance). I've seen it a thousand times where a group of Aussies band together and denigrate another group of people, whether it be New Zealanders, English, Americans or whoever. Whenever a question about "Australia's racist attitude" is asked all the answerers say that it is just a minority of Aussies that are like that but on the other side of the coin all the refugees are terrorists, all the international students are cheats and steal their education from Australia or all Muslims are disrespectful to the "Australian way of life". Also something that is said a lot is "Australia is a multicultural society" (in the same breath) "But you gotta be and do stuff like us". There just seems to be a lot of contridictions when it comes to the answers that come up.
Anyway how can one person say if a country is racist? They can only go on their own experiences. Of course white Australians would experience less racism than a darker person.
