🇦🇺Studying in Australia | The Right Approach

✈️Things to do before departure in your home country: ✅Pack your luggage one month in advance (clothes, daily necessities, medications, etc.). If there are items you can't bring with you, you can pack them in advance for sea freight or choose air freight one week in advance if it's urgent. ✅Activate international roaming and switch to the lowest package for your domestic phone card. ✅Exchange some Australian dollars in your home country. You don't need too much, 1000 AUD should be enough. ✅Purchase a temporary phone card in your home country, with a longer validity period. Once you arrive, you can go to a local service provider to get a new one. ✅Make an appointment for airport pickup a few days in advance. ✅Download a translation app (it's essential for me, and those who understand will understand 😝). ✅Make sure to bring all your necessary documents (passport, student visa, etc.). 🏃After landing in Australia: ✅First, let your family know you've arrived safely. ✅📱Change your phone's region to Australia, otherwise, many apps won't be available for download (Google Maps, Google Chrome, Gmail, etc.). ✅Make sure to register a Google account (very useful abroad). Try not to use domestic email accounts like QQ, as it's easy to lose emails. ✅☎️You can get a phone card at the airport or near your place of residence. Don't worry, there are many service providers available. ✅🚗Download ride-hailing apps like Uber and Didi, they are very convenient. ✅💳Open a bank account, bring your passport, withdraw money, check the bank's operating hours to avoid disappointment. You can open an account at Bank of China's local branch in Australia (it's convenient for receiving living expenses from family without any fees), and also open an account at a local bank. Make sure to link both accounts to mobile banking for easy transfers. ✅🚌Go to the station and get a public transportation card for easy travel (it's much more affordable compared to Uber). ✅🥡Download food delivery apps (1. Uber Eats: mainly Western food, 2. Hungry Panda: more Chinese food options). ✅🏫After starting school, the university will have dedicated staff to help you get your student card (don't miss your own induction ceremony).
