Tips for getting ready to study in Australia

You’re getting ready to study in Australia. This is a very exciting time!

It’s common to think of the major stuff like getting your student visa, arranging flights, and acquiring accommodation, but there are a few things that sometimes get missed.Learn more about money matters

Banking It is recommended that you open a bank account in Australia, either before you leave Canada or as soon as you arrive. #OzTREKKTip: Find out which bank has a branch on your university campus!

Some Australian banks now let international students open an Australian bank account online from overseas up to three months before you arrive—and many OzTREKK students recommend doing this. This way, you can send a wire/telegraphic transfer from Canada to your Australian bank account before you leave home. When you arrive in Australia, the bank will require you to show proof of identification in person at a bank branch.

1. Your letter from the bank after you’ve opened the account 2. Your passport 3. Your student ID or proof of enrolment 4. Australian mobile number if you have one.

Transferring Money As you are well aware, studying internationally does not come cheap. Every year we see an increasing number of students learning ways to save money on their foreign exchange. Over the last few years, OzTREKK has been a proud supporter of Cohort Go, an Australian company specializing in international student services. The company is incredibly responsive, and our students are treated well—as they should be! Cohort Go allows students to make tuition payments in their local currency and convert their AUD tuition fees at a significantly lower foreign exchange rate while eliminating extra international money transfer fees from the equation. We have found this is the cheapest way to pay your tuition and save as much as $15,000 over the course of your studies. You just need to make a local bank transfer and Cohort Go takes care of your payment from there.

OzTREKK isn’t any getting any referral rewards, we just really think this is one of the best solutions available for our students.

Book Review: ‘The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice‘

The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon My rating: 4 of 5 stars Repelling a multifront attack, abetted only by dwindling supplies, negligent regional allies, and limited external support (Kobani). Fording the turbulent Euphrates in the dead of night in anticipation of a mine-laden and sniper-beset shoreline (Manbij). Laying siege to a strategically valuable dam, the nation's largest, for two and a half months (Tabqa), situated fewer than thirty miles from ISIS's stronghold. And exhausting all manner of physical and mental strength to serve as the spearhead of regional militia seeking to pry open and overtake Raqqa. The fighters of the YPJ (women's protection units) exhibited remarkable fortitude and resilience, and their efforts proved pivotal in counterbalancing a world on fire. Lemmon's THE DAUGHTERS OF KOBANI is an informative and entertaining read that sits snugly in the middleground of illuminating nonfiction for policy novices or casual strategists. This isn't a book for grinding academics, and this isn't a book for skilled militarists. This book views a limited conflict, in a tucked away region of northern Syria, for the span of a few years, through the eyes and experiences of a handful of dedicated women, belonging to an ethnic minority (Kurds). Every injustice, travail, and disdain perpetuated by the thoughtlessness, violence, and corruption native to this conflict is etched into the hearts and minds of these individuals. Readers seeking more should hunt for supplemental analysis elsewhere. But for their efforts, the women who comprise the YPJ, the growing, specialized partition of the YPG (people's protection units), the battle is personal. These women defied and rebuked the threat of domestication to take up arms against terrorists both organized and not. Lemmon's journalism assiduously documents the YPJ's origin and the personalities that guide and ground its philosophy: Azeema, for example, is boisterous and confident, but also inscrutable and prudent ("We'll sleep when the fight is over," p. 73); Rojda's "quiet calmness" is purportedly mistaken as "passivity," but people "usually made that error only once" (p. 13); and Znarin is dutiful, but not to the patriarchic obligation through which she's lost everything, but to "the cause of women's rights and, as a consequence, Kurdish rights" (p. 23). THE DAUGHTERS OF KOBANI outlines the quest for self-governance (of the Kurdish people, before and during civil war), the quest for authenticity and viability (of extended militia, among enemies and allies old and new), and the quest for individual purpose (of the women whose lives and homes were ripped apart by varying components of black-flag terrorism). Remarkable, then, is Lemmon's interweaving of the fragmented capacity (or willingness) of U.S. policymakers with the difficult reality of on-the-ground, street-to-street combat. All the more so when the point of view for said exchanges pivots between sniper positions with broken radio signals or fiendish and frantic amphibious operations aboard borrowed watercraft. This book strikes a purposeful balance. For example, readers encounter the fantastic necessity of unearthing the historical truths, convenient or otherwise, about the philosophical influence of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and its founder Abdullah Öcalan. The long-imprisoned Öcalan's progressive intellectualism seems radical and unlikely to western ears (e.g., gender equality, freedom of expression, full suffrage, economic fairness). But the dissident's tenets of human equality and of striking a balancing with the demands of ecological necessity are entirely rational and fundamental to others who's legislative and military options are all that remain when opposed and oppressed by autocrats and terrorists. Understandably, this approach may not suffice for readers hunting for more detail than personal stories can provide. Regional experts will demand more intricate maps of the infernally tense Manbij campaign, which saw waxing and waning success as Rojda and others crossed the Euphrates at night. Or perhaps demand a few more details on the Berthnahrin Women's Protection Forces, the all-female Assyrian militia. Other, book-savvy researchers will surely demand more context for the sprawling Syrian Civil War, proper, during which the book's events take place. Lemmon focuses on the military history and political corollaries associated with the YPG and YPJ, but spends little time on the influence and effectiveness of neighboring or oppositional parties. For example, the Democratic Union Party's Charter of the Social Contract, dated to January 2014, is a remarkable document. But the Charter has clearly been amended over the better part of a decade. Whether those changes are progressive or regressive, goes unstated. Altogether, THE DAUGHTERS OF KOBANI is accessible and edifying. The author's promise is to glimpse the peculiar and inspiring, and the book does well to deliver. The itinerant nature of international war reporting obliges a few gaps in the narrative, but for all intents and purposes, Lemmon composed a memorable story about principled people whose statelessness was only the beginning of their story.

Importance Of International Exposure And Acceptance For A 21st-Century Learner

Importance Of International Exposure And Acceptance For A 21st-Century Learner

In today’s modern world, as we are becoming a boundary-less world, we must give each other respect and co-exist elegantly. Today’s children will determine the future of the world, hence it gets even more critical to attain values that will help them create a peaceful world to live in.

Students nowadays, seamlessly engage with their self-beliefs and values which makes them reflect on how belonging to a particular culture or speaking a national language has influenced their perspectives. They also realize how often people are corny based on culture, language, race, and gender.

This process will not only make students appreciate differences but also will look inward before blaming the world.

Here are the top 5 benefits of International exposure and acceptance by a 21st-century learner

1. Diversity in learning: It is a known challenge that no one organization of education in one country can combine all the forms of education that a school student needs to learn. In today’s boundary-less world, most giant MNCs reject job applicants just due to a lack of cross-cultural knowledge. To overcome this challenge, students need to be introduced to cross-cultural studies and activities from the very initial learning stage. It not only adds value to their overall academic career but also adds a slight tint of learning over and above your curriculum. Once this is mastered the world will accept you with open arms ensuring personal and professional growth.

2. Enhances soft skills: Academic qualification can handhold a student to a certain extent but it is only through personality and soft skills that they can go above the rest. The vital ability to speak in the local language in a foreign country embarks that they have soared above the competition. Introducing international studies from school is a great idea to ensure optimal absorption of data. Additionally, students learn to handle themselves in any given environment, with great confidence and marvellous networking skills.

3. Enriches personality: Every culture has its unique style, be it cuisine or dominant behaviours. Each culture is sure to stun you and you will always go back with noteworthy learnings. For instance, the culture in UK is way different and opposite to Indian culture. In the UK your neighbours wouldn’t even know your name even after living next door for years. On the other hand, in India, your neighbour knows more than just your name in just months. This is exactly why you cannot apply one country’s culture to another as it can hurt sentiments.

4. International knowledge that will take you far: Students can make better career choices and rise to greater heights only when they are knowledgeable enough about the whereabouts of the country they intend to move to. With the world relying on digital mediums of information like online articles and videos, students can self-learn these critical skills. Be it finance or management, technology or literature, that will give its students all the necessary knowledge across all fields. In short, international exposure boosts knowledge among students, and through the essential activities in school, they can find their desire and pick their profession.

5. Boosts Logical thinking and critical analysis: Numerous case studies prove when a child learns cross-cultural knowledge they become more mindful about the people around them giving them an edge above all. In a situation where you’re not in your comfort zone more than anything how calm and composed you are matters. Hence. superior logical and critical thinking is a necessary skill that comes hand in hand while adopting international cultural studies. Simply, mixing cultures through education can bring about a positive change among students and generate values in them that will stay with them till life.

Summing Up:

International schools all around the world must understand the criticality of introducing international studies as a part of their curriculum to leverage all the above benefits mentioned.

Choosing to study out of the country can be a life-changing decision. International education is necessary on account of offering global disclosure, cross-cultural exchange opportunities, an effective work environment, super work options, and an increasing growth curve, as well as high quality of life and comfort of living. It also gives one an incredibly great field of possibilities to choose from. With an international degree, you have the privilege to choose to live and work in any part of the world and widen your scope. Maybe, you need not limit your dream and aspiration, and may well consider the whole world to be your canvas- go, paint your dreams!

Additionally, learning a foreign language has its perks. Invest time in learning a foreign language today.

i love you goncharov mythos, i love you innate human urge to make things up, i love you tumblr blorbos created By tumblr, i love you meta insight into current internet attitudes toward character archetypes that's inherent to this process of creation, i love you opportunity of witnessing yet another major event for very online people, and most of all i love you katya

#she sounds cool #goncharov #tbd #the more i think about it the more i realize that this is the single most interesting thing that's happened here since i made my account #like. sure nov 5th 2020 was wild but the goncharov renaissance developed completely independently of real world events #people aren't posting memes about geopolitical events anymore they're posting memes about a New Thing #with No real world equivalent and making up everything about it ON THE FLY #and it STILL retains some internal consistency because of the types of characters/traits that have grown into their popularity here #and i just think media studies people who write about the internet are having a fucking field day right now

Hello there how are you doing ? 

4 months left until graduation. 4 months before becoming a doctor :)) Life is rough and exhausting. Everyone is so stressed out and suspicious since they aren’t enough places for all of the students. I might chose internal medicine. 

I try to stay out of this toxic environnement. I hate competition. 

I hope you guys are doing good. May we all be walking safely and peacefully towards our goals. 

Take care.
