How Australian international students can stay safe and protect their lives 🈲

The new semester has been going on for over a week, and many friends are still immersed in the excitement of studying abroad. However, Xiao Zhao wants to remind the younger students who have come to Australia that while Melbourne is a livable city, behind the liveliness, there are also hidden dangers. A Monash University international student was recently robbed and left unconscious on the roadside in Melbourne city by a homeless person. In fact, over the years in Australia, there have been numerous cases of international students being robbed in my circle of friends. Xiao Zhao hopes that all the students studying in Australia can stay safe. After careful consideration, he has summarized the following 5 relatively dangerous areas in Melbourne, hoping that everyone can avoid them. 1⃣️ Melbourne City Area Melbourne city is a high-risk area for harassment. According to surveys, there are 5 dangerous areas in Melbourne city, namely: Elizabeth St, King St, Flinders St, Swanston St, and Flinders St Station. 2⃣️ Flinders Street Station Flinders Street Station, an important train station in Melbourne, is one of the high-risk areas. Many crimes occur there. 3⃣️ Areas near parks Sparsely populated areas near parks should be avoided by international students as it is difficult to seek help in case of danger. 4⃣️ Entrance of 7-11 convenience stores You may have noticed that there are often homeless or intoxicated people near the entrance of 7-11 convenience stores. It is advisable for international students to spend less time near these entrances to reduce the risk of being attacked. 5⃣️ Areas near universities, including Caulfield, Carnegie, etc. This includes areas near Monash University, the University of Melbourne, and other universities. Generally, areas near universities have a higher concentration of international students. There have been several robbery cases near Monash University, including incidents where Chinese international students were harmed. When studying abroad alone, personal safety should be the top priority. If you have similar experiences, you can share them in the comments section to inform Xiao Zhao and other international students, helping everyone avoid potential dangers.
