There is so much information provided about living in Australia. I will give a few links here. But one important thing to know, is that it helps to know someone who is already here. And if you don't know anyone, it is best not to isolate yourself. Ask questions when you do not understand, do not assume anything.

You will find that it will cost you a lot of time and money if you do not know certain information. Such as discounts, or finding out that they are overdue fees and late payment fees.

The Univesity of Western Australia provides some guidlines about the cost of living in Western Australia. Students can use this as a guide when making plans to study in Western Australia. - http://www.studyat.uwa.edu.au/unilife/costs
