Yes us Aussie's our lifestyle is laid backed. We live to work not work to live. Work doesn't dominant, our lifestyle does. 😎

I studied in Seoul during the summer in 2022, and now I'm going to Sydney in February for the spring semester! It's so much fun, plus it's a great opportunity to see the world~

[@MiaBee]

That sounds so fun

Hiii! I'm moving to Sydney in July. Your videos are quite helpful.. I don't know yet which residence I'm going to chose. Do you think the Regiment is better than Queen Mary building ?

[@MiaBee]

Ahhh I never went inside Queen Mary, but it’s definitely bigger than Regiment. A lot more students live there!

Your Sydney vlogs were so fun, I would have loved that opportunity at your age. There's the Steyne in Manly for a little partying, but it's a bit far. They have happy hour to compansate for the poor nightlife. :p

[@MiaBee]

Hahah noted for next visit! Thank you ⭐️

[@claudiazoutendijk696]

Hi Mia, I just graduated HS and IDK if I should study film. Since you are studying it, I was wondering. Do u think film school is worth it? And do u recommend it? I love your videos btw 💗

[@_Julia_Santos]

I'm planning on studying abroad in Sydney my junior year! Thanks for all of your videos! I've loved seeing what your experience was like

[@MiaBee]

Have fun!! ✨💌💖

[@sourcookiii]

NYC nightlife > SYD nightlife, but it's hard to compare. One of the biggest factors with bars (and shops) closing early is wages. AUS employers have to pay their staff a living wage (hence no tipping) and average around ~$30/hr which goes up again after midnight. There are definitely places open after midnight but it depends on the size of the establishment. Nightclubs definitely open to the early hours of the morning but small bars, especially ones in Surry Hills (which is also a suburban area) will close early. Sydney is also only now just bouncing back from COVID and the roll back of the lockout laws ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_lockout_laws )

Totally enjoying this! Happy New Year, Mia! ❤❤

Happy new year 🌠

Hey Mia Aston, I came across your profile and noticed you're studying film at NYU Tisch. I'm really interested in pursuing film too and was wondering if you could share your journey into the program. Also, I'm an international student and curious about the scholarship opportunities at NYU Tisch.Any advice or insights would be super helpful!

[@MiaBee]

Hi!! I actually have a few different videos on my portfolio / tips to get in / q&a’s / days in the life at tisch which might be helpful ✨💌 Tisch has a few scholarships, but, at least from when I applied, everyone is automatically considered for a scholarship

[@jniebs4918]

how much money would you recommend saving up to be able to go on all these fun weekend trips (was there free public transportation/what were your favorite cheap activities??)

[@MiaBee]

Realistically a grand or two 😵‍💫 traveled super cheap though! Only free carry on’s, walking and sightseeing is always free, stayed in cheap hostels (lots had free dinner or breakfast, 1 in the Gold Coast even had free activities) and things like the beach or hiking are free!

I plan on studying abroad my junior year which is fall 2025. I want to study at The University of Queensland in Brisbane. I want to do it in Australia mainly because I am a Wildlife Bio major and they have so many different species of animals.

[@MiaBee]

Wildlife bio would be perfecttt there

[@olivia-fz8dn]

Great video. I love your channel. I’m very interested in studying abroad, so this video has been helpful.

[@mollymcgovern1494]

How bad were the spiders? Did u encounter many in housing ?

[@MiaBee]

Didn’t really ever see many in Sydney!

[@link8579]

Great video! I’m about to move into regiment and I was wondering whether it was easy to make friends other than NYU students?

[@MiaBee]

If you hang out in the communal areas there are usually a lot of ppl around who you can meet/talk to!

[@link8579]

@@MiaBee tksm! Are there any events hosted by regiment in o week and beyond?

[@edwardmtzf]

You’re my fav!! 🤩 happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆

Happy new year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi Mia. Greetings from Colorado. Glad you could have such a positive experience in Australia. I lived in #Israel for 4 years, mostly as a #KibbutzVolunteer (in a Work-Study situation), but also as a student at #HebrewUniversity in #Jerusalem. Once things calm down in Israel, I would encourage you and other KZbinrs to consider becoming Volunteers on a Kibbutz together for a Summer. You could even do it as a Collab, and such could be sort of like #MTV's one-time very popular #RealWorld series. Blessings on the #JourneyOfLife...
