Paying for Uni (1 Viewer)

[chels93]

I'm currently living in New Zealand and want to go to Sydney for uni (in particular UTS (communications)), I was wondering if it is possible to afford to go to university and live in Sydney without qualifying for a student allowance or HECS (??), I have a few grand saved up but I was planing on attempting to get some regular part-time work (are there many jobs avaliable). I was thinking about staying at one of the uni's residental places.

UTS Communication is somewhere around AUD $53,000 to $60,000 for the entire course; but you've also got to factor in other stuff as well, accommodation, travel etc

You'll need at least $20 000 a year just to pay course fees. You also have expenses of accomodation, travel, food etc to add to that.

Is that international students fees or local cause NZer's only have to pay local fees
