Recently I've been looking at coming to study at the Australian institute of music for uni. I live in Canada at the moment and was starting to plan what I would need to be doing in terms of finances while I'm at school. What I've realized is that it's pretty difficult to live in Australia (specifically Sydney) because I'm not legally allowed to make enough money to support myself, under the assumption that I'm working minimum wage. Is there extra compensation for students that I can't find? Am I overestimating the living costs? Should I be looking for roommates? How do I find roommates when I don't live in the continent? I am just very confused and I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten me. Please reply with some knowledge. 🙏
