Is it easy to get to the beach from campus? How do locals see Americans? I love being outdoors especially near water and beaches, this seems like a great place for me.

The Australian government has announced new measures to make it easier for international students to obtain visas to study in Australia.Australia's Immigration Ministry says the process will be made easier by reducing the assessment levels or minimum requirements for foreign students from 29 countries, including India and China. The move follows recommendations of a review undertaken last year, to address significant falls in international student enrolments in recent years. Private education providers say the changes don't go far enough.

“The Government’s
