live in melbourne

I have to take a break from uni next year so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to move down to Melbourne for a year. Now I just need to organise a job and somewhere to live.

So, I didn’t get into uni in Melbourne which is a bit disapointing but I am thankful I got into the course I wanted somewhere else. Until I get there on a permament basis I plan to visit as much as I can to get a feel for the place.

Hopefully I’ll end up there for uni but if not I want to do it in the next ten years.

I live in Costa Rica, and have been here my entire life.
Im finishing my studies in architecture, and i have been searching for a place to do my master. My girlfriend mentioned me about Australia, she is looking for a master in architecture too, and i started searching places in Australia, till finaly got to see Melbourne, i got overwhelmed!!! Looks like an amazing city, a greate mix between history and modern city, greate development, Docklands looks like it was designed for me, jajajaja, love the australian open, love de australian grand prix, everything around Yarra river looks really cool, Albert park soroundings looks nice, i havent been there yet, but pictures i have found on internet have helped alot to make the decision. Universtity of Melbourne looks like very good quality, and the city has been voted the best city to leave in the world 3 times.
I enjoy cold weather and hot weather, Melbourne have them both, I love skiing, so i have to travel a lot to be able to find snow, in Melbourne you are very close from many ressorts, its close to other places that i always wanted to go like New Zeland, Fiji, and other pacific islands, its a few steps closer than my country, to other places that i also wanted to go like Thailand, India, even South Africa
I REALLLLLY HOPE I CAN MAKE IT. Lucky Australians!!

I lived there for 5 years and I think that it is a great city when you are teen to mid-twenties. There is lots of cafes, great night-life and shopping. However, once you get a bit older, want to get married and have a family I really don’t think it is a great city for it. There is more pollution than Adelaide or Brisbane, and , as everyone has just about said – on a lifestyle level the climate just isn’t that great, as well as the traffic just being an absolute nightmare during peak hours (which seem to be getting longer and longer). Save it for the young ones.

I’ve lived here my whole life, love it!

Ive lived here allll my life.. not to say it isnt a great city.. but the weather sucks!! 4 seasons in a day.. never know what to wear.. anyone considered moving to Queenslands Surfers
Paradise..!! Now thats a place.. sun and surf all year round.. the night life is amazing.. and it gives a mood.. as though you have nooo worries in the world… If i have a chance .. ill move there!

Melbourne Australia is amazing,
I lived there for a year and I plan on moving back to live there the rest of my life.
Transportation, food, weather, everything is awesome.
People and scenery are amazing…
IT is THE most perfect place on earth, to me.

But my dad is from there so I’m 1/2 aussie.

I love Melbourne. It’s the best city in the world. It’s so beautiful at night. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world. ROCK ON MELBOURNE!!!

Melbourne is a beautiful city, filled with great nightlife, culture and a wonderful diversity of people. We have an incredible range of cuisine, because we’re such a multicultural city. Italian, Greek, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Nepalese, German, Hungarian, French, Mexican, hell, I could keep going!

People think Australia is all kangaroos and emus. How wrong they are.
