Hey,

Most of my fellas were interested in studying Australia, but were curious about living expenses there as a student. Here I am sharing some of my experience and articles I came across. Yea, still the cost figures might vary with the actual ones, its just an approximation.

An Australian Government survey showed that in terms of total costs—including tuition fees and living expenses—Australia was consistently less expensive than the USA and UK. Tuition fees will vary depending on the course or institution this website provides average costs as a guide. Living costs too will vary by location, course and lifestyle.

There is no doubt that Australia is the perfect place to enjoy a quality education and outstanding quality of life. What makes it even better is that Australia offers excellent value for money, with living expenses and tuition costs comparable to the United Kingdom and Unites States.

Australians enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world - without the expensive price tag. An average international student in Australia will spend about A$360 a week on accommodation, food, clothing, entertainment, transport and telephone. Remember, though, that this figure depends on your location, lifestyle and even your course. You should seek further information on living costs from your institution.

 Tom Calder, trade commissioner of the Australian Trade Commission, shares some interesting figures for the tuition fees in Australia (the fees vary, these are some approximations):

The cost of living in Australia can vary from Australian $ 1,500 to $2,000 a month and would include your accommodation, meals & local transport expenses. 

Another good aspect of studying in Australia is related to the work rights: If you hold a student visa, you can work part-time (up to 40 hours per fortnight) while you are studying and full-time during vacations.

Hope it helps!
