Answer
Hi,

Sorry about the late response school holidays in Australia at the moment and they are always a bit crazy as I look after my younger brother.

1- I am not sure on the Visa requirements but this is the immigration site which explains all the visa types:
http://www.immi.gov.au/students/students/chooser/
Obviously the requirements are differant for differant countries so have a look there and let me know if you have any questions after you've had a look.

2- All of the cities have a differant feel ranging from our smaller cities (Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth) to our larger cities of Melbourne and Sydney. All have safe and not so safe areas. Things to think about are what tempreture you are looking for, if you wish to be near a beach, if you like art and fashion. I think Melbourne is the best city for visiting it has a little bit of everything and is easier to get around than Sydney but almost the same size so you don't miss out on anything. It has some great uni's too. It is also much cheaper living than in Sydney although not as cheap as say Adelaide or Brisbane so that is something also to take into consideration.

3- Which state/city are you looking at going? There are some top Universities in all Cities so let me know where you are looking to go first. Melbourne and Sydney have the most choice but there are Uni's all over Australia.

4- The cost of University for International Students varies on the course you are doing and which university. If you look on the website
of the universities it will tell you the International Student price for each of the subjects. (Subjects vary in price)

I hope this gives you a start. Please let me know when you have narrowed it down and I can help further.

Thanks,

Megan
