IMPORTANT: J-school in Brisbane (Australia)

IMPORTANT: J-school in Brisbane (Australia)?
Hi! I'm looking for some more information about the J-SCHOOL JOURNALISM EDUCATION AND TRAINING situated in Australia, in Brisbane and Melbourne. Has anyone attended the school or can anyone share his experience there? Thanks a lot from now, it's so much important to me as I would like to enter the school. PS I've already checked their website and what wikipedia says about them.

Hi, I'm studying at JSchool in Brisbane now and it seems very good. There's a much bigger focus on writing stories than there seems to be in University courses, from what I hear about those. I've had ten stories published already on our website which will double as our portfolio; see http://newsbytes.com.au for the standard we're expected to reach. Facilities are a bit Spartan; one day a week we have a class in the Brisbane Square library and two days in space rented from a Julia Russo school. So far we've visited the Brisbane City Council several times, the Queensland Parliament twice, the Supreme Court, the Art Gallery, and opera and theatre performances. We usually are expected to write stories, reviews and so on. Initiative is encouraged. Five of us went out a fortnight ago to the opening of the new duplicate Gateway Bridge and several published stories came out on that There is a constant focus on what it will be like to work in a real newsroom, and pressure to write stories so we know a little of the pressure we'll be under when we get work in the industry. It seems far more practical than journalism courses at Uni where, I believe, students write only four stories a semester.

I found JSchool online a few years back and I've kept an eye on the homepage and blog for a while. The director told me that this ensures people with a seeking spirit are attracted to JSchool- rather than attracting people who are not really interested. It seems to be working. There is a great camaraderie and the lecturers are very approachable. It's extremely practical and we are all thrown in the deep end pretty early on. I was also offered a place in a Masters of Journalism course at one of the main Brisbane universities but chose JSchool without any hesitation. DJ said it very well.

Hi, I attend Jschool at the moment and it's probably the best Journalism course in the country. I went to UQ and studied Journalism and communications there, it wasn't very good. There was no preparation for writing hard news etc whereas Jschool on the other hand does. Your not made to feel stupid if you ask for help and we do TEELINE!! No other Journalism course offers that, and if that doesn't seal the deal our director John, found your question and sent an email to all of us students to help you out. Honestly Jschool is the best Journalism school on Australia. P.s if you want to check out some of our work, we run an online publication www.newsbytes.com.au :)

Sydney or Melbourne. Melbourne's weather is not as nice, but it's very arty and chic if that's your thing. Sydney is more bold and vibrant.

Melbourne, depending where you are from, melbourne can be Little cold and dull compared to other states, i live two hours north of sydney, and do not like sydney nearly as much, Melbourne has a fantastic transport system, it has great places to go out at night or wander during the day, it is hip, artistic yet old. Melbourne has everything sydney has except the beaches and warmer weather, though it still has a nice climate, Melbourne is also not as populated as sydney, making it a nicer place to get around, travel from and safer. it is also cleaner and well designed making it easy to get around. I would definitely go for melbourne, it would be easy to travel up to sydney or the other cities on other times, but to live i would choose melbourne. Cost of a air flight to sydney from melbourne is $50.

Sydney definitely, Melbournes so ugly and flat, and is not as city like as Sydney, Melbourne has terrible weather and always has that sort of polluted look about it

How to get to Australia this summer? (high school student)

How to get to Australia this summer? (high school student)?
I'm a high school student in the United States. I need something - whether it be an internship, homestay, boarding school etc. to get me to Sydney this summer (when it will be winter there) and keep me grounded with a good amount of independence. Do you have any specific suggestions on where to go? I've done a lot of research, but I've found it extremely difficult to find something that wasn't a teen tour-like program

If your credit is VERY important, compare the CRA direct reports with the myFICO reports.

I would avoid sydney unless you have a lot of money. Rent in Sydney is much more expensive than in most cities in the US. Boarding schools in sydney have very long waiting lists, most children wanting to go to a private/boarding school in Sydney are enrolled at high school when they are 2 years old. A farmstay would give you a great experience if you don't mind hunting kangaroos and cutting the balls off sheep, and you will get paid (although not much) Queensland will be nice in winter, victoria and tasmania will be very cold but are very beautiful.

You will not be able to come to Australia under the age of 18 unless you are either 1) in a school or 2) on the tour program you are talking about P2P. 1) requires you to commit to 6 -12 months and requires either a formal exchange program (6 or 12 months) or to enrol as an international student in a boarding school (12 months and there is a multi year waiting list - plus will cost around 15K).
