1. Save money on books 

There are ways of bypassing buying an original textbook.

• Library: Your university library is likely to carry the books that have been prescribed  by your units. . 
• Buy second-hand: Ask your seniors or family relatives who might have done the  same course. Also check Facebook groups that sell or exchange books specific to  your course. 

2. University study support services 

Australian universities provide a ton of support services to assist your needs  

• English mentors: If English is not your first language, no worries. Every university  has programs or mentors to help improve your English skills. 
• Course advisors: Consult your course advisor before making any decisions  regarding units or courses. They are there to help plan your academic journey. • Counselling: Do not hesitate to seek professional help from university counsellors. 

3. Get organized 

Keeping track of classes, workshops, assignments, exams, all in your head can become  really stressful. In order to keep yourself organized, keep things that let you  maintain your everyday routine.  

• Planner: Write down all important dates including assignment deadlines, exam  dates and class schedules in your planner. 
• 4-subject notebook: It saves you the trouble of carrying multiple notebooks for  multiple subjects. 
• Apps: For technology-lovers, apps like My Class Schedule: Timetable (Android) or  Class Timetable (iOS) keep a track of your deadlines and classes. 

4. Reach out to peers and teachers 

Seeking help from your classmates and teachers can be the best way to interact with  them. If in doubt try approaching your peers and work together. Australian professors are  very approachable and accessible.  

In the beginning, being an international student can make it feel like you are competing.  But with time things will eventually get easier and adapting won’t be so difficult.
