Is Melbourne the best state to live in Australia?

@honeymouse, I agree with you on the integration part into Australian society. In fact I find that Sporeans and Malaysians are the most cosmopolitan, i.e they easily adapt with Aussies unlike other Asians e.g mainland Chinese. This is partly due to the proficiently of English and the famliarity of Western cultures of Sporeans and Malaysians.

However in the case of BBKen, he is bringing his child to study in primary school here. My advice for him to send his child to a more 'Asian' school ( which is usually near an surburb with populated by Asians) is based on the following:

1. It will be a culture shock for the child coming from the Spore education system and jumping straight into the Australian system. Having Asian peers as classmates will help the assimilation.

2. He can easily find good primary state schools near Asian surburbs. He will have to stay in the school zone to qualify for entry into those schools.

So it consideration for his child's education that I recommend that he stay in or near an Asian surburb. It does not mean that he should only mix with Asians. In fact I encourage everyone who comes to Australia to mix with the Aussies and enjoy their culture.

Kids are pretty adaptable so I don't think it's going to be a problem at all. Infact it might just be the perfect opportunity to expose him to a whole new world.

I will be doing a master in Mel U next year. Family going along.

Think of renting an apartment or small house in the suburban. Priority is that it must be safe, cos my son will likely be studying in a primary school in the area.Any recommendation?

Am considering Preston, Northcote or Carlton North. Any comments?

Tks

If your son is going to study here... then it really depends on which school he goes to.

Once that is decided then decide on suburb.

Carlton is a good suburb next to the city however it is pricey.

Preston is to the north..... asian community..... but I don't really like it. I think it should still be safe but it depends what you're comparing it to. I wouldn't choose Preston.

Northcote no idea....honeymouse any idea?

Kind Regards

Genie
