Accommodation
U can rent a room in St Lucia which is nearby UQ, it’s very convenient. Price will be around $150-$200. Just search it online (.) But, those areas that are not nearby st lucia such as Indooroopilly, Taringa and Toowoong will be much cheaper. Oyea, sunny also not a bad place, even though it is quite far from UQ about 40 min by bus, but u will get a room about $115/week including gas, electricity and internet! (Information by Paul ). Btw, sunnybank will have most chinese stay there. If U’re through agent, they might recommend u to residential colleges that are near to UQ, or some off-campus accommodation with really good facilities such as gym, swimming pool and so on, that might be a little more expensive. Depends~! I will choose the cheapest one!
Transport Service
Oyea, in Brisbane, the transport service is good, don’t worry! For students, you can do a Concession Go Card as long as you have you student card, or if you don’t have it yet, just tell the drive u’re a student. U will get 50% off! For more information go to this website translink Brisbane. There are many ways to st lucia, ferry, trains(I think) and bus of course. A go card will do for all the service! Just remember to touch on and off at your trip!
Bank Acc
I opened Commonwealth bank acc (recommended by Adam J) for UQ student . It is in St Lucia Campus so it will be very easy and SAFE. There are other banks in Brisbane such as Bank of Queensland, Westpac, nab and so on. But, Commonwealth is the one for me! n_n the interest is high anyway.
Mobile
I was told that if you want a free handset, get 3 mobile! Sign up for a $29 cap package and choose your own free mobile. It’s cheap for those who are thinking of changing their mobile! Everyone is using 3, so you can save a lot!
