Hi, and firstly, welcome to La Trobe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations on taking a big step out of your comfort zone and starting a new chapter in Melbourne. You\u2019ve probably already heard plenty about uni life, from finding your classes to settling into campus. But for this guide, let\u2019s step away from uni and explore the city around you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, Melbourne isn\u2019t just where you\u2019ll study, it\u2019s the city you\u2019ll explore, make memories in, and come back to after a long day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best part? There are plenty of ways to experience Melbourne on a student budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s get exploring and let me be your virtual tour guide! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop: the side of Melbourne you can explore for free\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t know where to start? Hop on the 86 from Bundoora and make your way to Melbourne Museum. Your student ID can get you free general entry, and trust me, this isn\u2019t a \u201cwalk around for 20 minutes and leave\u201d situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went in expecting a museum. I ended up exploring wonders of the natural world, pieces of history and even an entire house inside a museum. Safe to say, I lost track of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the NGV, Federation Square, walks along the Yarra, and Melbourne\u2019s beautiful gardens especially the Royal Botanic Gardens on a sunny day. Pack a little picnic, find a spot on the grass and trust me, you\u2019ll want to stay longer than you planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And please visit State Library Victoria as soon as you can. I left it embarrassingly late and regretted it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student-budget tip:<\/strong> Before paying anywhere, check if your student ID gets you free or concession entry. That little card can do more than get you into class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second stop: Experience Melbourne while finding your community\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Exploring is great. Having people to explore with? Even better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Couch is a great place to start. I\u2019ve tried activities, attended workshops, danced my heart out and had one of my favourite Christmas celebrations there, all while meeting people from around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s Study Melbourne<\/a>,<\/strong> which helped me in a completely different way. Through its events, I gained direction in my networking journey, met new people and found opportunities to hear from professionals and learn beyond university. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student tip:<\/strong> Moving countries can make walking into a room full of strangers intimidating. My advice? Don\u2019t overthink it just show up! If nothing else, you\u2019ll probably walk away with a full stomach, a bigger network and a story to tell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third stop: Experiences worth spending a little extra on <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love \u201cfree\u201d as much as the other students, but some experiences are worth opening the wallet for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melbourne is also full of experiences that are worth spending a little extra on. Keep an eye out for ticketed exhibitions from cultural and art exhibitions to immersive experiences, there\u2019s always something new happening around the city. And if you\u2019re ready to venture a little further, use a day off to explore beyond Melbourne and discover places like the Mornington Peninsula. Sometimes, spending a little extra is worth it for an experience that turns an ordinary day into something memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student tip:<\/strong> The trick? Don\u2019t rush to book. Exhibitions and experiences sometimes release special offers and discounted tickets, so keep checking before paying full price. And never be afraid to ask about student discounts. Your ticket might be concession-priced, but the experience doesn\u2019t have to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yes, Melbourne will keep giving you new things to discover. You\u2019ve already made the big move, now go make some stories worth taking back with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy exploring!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
