Who murdered those 2 students in Sydney?

What is life like in Sydney, Australia for international students (from the US)?

• Hi! I'm a 21 year old female and I am about to begin studying at the University of Sydney to earn my Masters in Nursing. I am very excited, but am a little nervous as well; I'm not really sure how I'll adjust or how easy it is to build a social network. I'm very outgoing and generally have a lot of friends; is it easy to meet new people in Sydney? Also, I will be moving there single, but very ready to date, ultimately to end up in a serious relationship. What is the dating scene like in Sydney, generally speaking? Anyway, any advice that you could give would be greatly appreciated. I'm very nervous because this will be a big change in my like and to be quite honest, I still can't fully believe that I'm doing it! I thank you so much for your time and hope that I can answer some of your questions as well :)

• Answer:

  Rachel, oh please girl there is nothing to be nervous about. Let me try and put this in point form for you. 1. Your going to one of the best countries to do your masters in nursing. I found as a patient at Sydney's Westmead Hospital when I was over there, that the nurses are a very friendly (within reason), close knit family. You will have no problem making friends. 2. From what I have seen and heard, the community of nurses work hard but also party well. 3. Be warned don't fall for the first Tom that passes your door, be wise girl, do you masters first, the dating scene is very alive, but you will be in the position to choose. 4. We have Canadian nurses that graduate here then move to Australia, and finally end up doing a second or third certificate. Your being smarter, your doing it all under one roof. 5. Rachel, just don't get yourself caught up in wild drinking parties. Socialize yes, but the wild stuff forget it, they have licensed clubs over there RSL Clubs Leagues Clubs and all soccer clubs, O was taken to Marconi FairField Soccer Club, Parramatta Leagues Club, Rooty Hill RSL CLub, St George Leagues Club. Found them great places for the young, usually Friday or Saturday night dances. I am not young Rachel, I am a geriatric mere male with Alzheimer's. Hospitals to try and tour, would be Westmead in Sydney's south west, this place is hugh, Royal North Shore, and Royal North Shore Private (which is connected). You will find the hospital system different to what you and I are used to, very ahead and modern systems. Rachel, you do not need pointers, within a short space of time you will slip in there like a local. If your unsure of something, don't be afraid to ask, they are very helpful. In the summer, remember these beaches, Dee Why (that's where I actually lived for a short term), Manly, Terrigal and The Entrance, these are places I used to escape to. Good luck in your Master's, have a good time, please let me know how your doing. I hope to travel back there soon. By the way, if you can while your over there, go to the Great Barrier Reef and have a dive, it will be an experience of a lifetime.
