Planning on moving to syd from about 12 hours away to go to UNSW. Does anybody have experience with moving to sydney from a rural area and have financial/general tips? Was also wondering what the best way to meet people at UNSW is ? I've heard societies are good, but are there any good ways to meet people doing the same course as you before O day and stuff.

Im also trying to move to unsw but only from 4ish hours away. My only advice is that its gonna be expensive
Yeah for sure, im lucky cus i have saved heaps and got scholarships (plus a place to stay with no rent). Otherwise it would be impossible.

Ive also saved lots but its gonna be a big hit financially but still worth it imo. Were they UNSW scholarships?
Yeah, I got in through gateway so that gave me $11 000 and my school does one for $15 000
You can also get relocation scholarships and Centrelink stuff which adds up to a lot

what degree you doing or aiming to do
How much Relocation Scholarship you can get - Relocation Scholarship - Services Australia
Your payment rate of Relocation Scholarship depends on your circumstances.
www.servicesaustralia.gov.au
How much Tertiary Access Payment you can get - Tertiary Access Payment - Services Australia
The Tertiary Access Payment is a payment of $3,000 or $5,000. How much you can get depends on where your family home is located.
www.servicesaustralia.gov.au
Pretty sure these both add up to around $10k

I got an unconditional offer for commerce, I think BSOC and FINSOC kind of appeal to me but I've heard they're filled with a lot of selective groups who don't really want to go out of their way to meet new people.

yeah so it'd be bsoc and any of the relateds - yeah it was a bit tough for me as well given I didn't go selective but generally are welcoming
maybe join other societies, whatever your personal interests are etc ... there's a website which says them all

Yup I would probably get a lot in youth allowance because I have low household income but sadly it says for youth allowance at least you cant get paid more for moving out unless you literally have to like abusive parents. But since you live so far yeah theres def more opportunities like relocation stuff
Sweet, cheers for the replies

Wait so moving from one major city to another isn’t counted as relocation even if it’s literally across the country???
