Being an international student is fun and rewarding. You get to meet new people, learn about different cultures and share diverse perspectives.

But what if you speak a different language from your campus colleagues and you are slightly more introverted? In such a situation, developing friendships and making connections can be quite difficult.

When I came to China, I had little grasp of Mandarin, and I wasn’t very familiar with the culture. Coming from an inward culture, I felt a bit awkward about directly approaching university classmates.

The Australian government has announced that restrictions on working hours per week for international students will not be reintroduced until at least mid-2023.

In January this year the government announced that all international students in Australia would be able to work more than 20 hours a week (40 hours a fortnight). 

This means that international students, working in any sector, are able to work an unlimited number of hours per week.
