your not going to find at school for that little there usually 32,400 and higher so good luck but you probably aren't going to find one that cheap
2 :
There are very few if any boarding schools that are that cheap. However, many schools offer some sort of financial aid which is given out on a need demonstrated basis. The higher the endowment of schools, the higher the financial aid reward is generally. Look at boardingschoolreview.com to start a general search or talk.collegeconfidential.com under prep school admissions to ask questions about different schools to applicants, students, and parents.

Most good independent schools in Australia cost over $10 000 a year as it is, and that's for just day schooling - board would cost a lot more, into the $30 000s. Mine was nearly $15 000, the tuition fees alone! If you're clever you might be able to land a scholarship, but competition is high for those. One of the cheaper boarding schools, however, is Melbourne Girls' Grammar, at around $13 000... but be aware, most of the cheap ones will be Catholic schools, wherein you have religion jammed into your head all the time.

although a lot of schools may be more expensive there are financial aid and scholarships available depending on the school, sometimes with boarding school, like college, the sticker is not what you pay but you should discuss this with the admissions department of whatever school your looking at, for schools in the US try www.schools.com

I went to a Boarding School in Hershey Pennsylvania called Milton Hershey School. It was completely free and the opportunities were endless. The campus was beautiful and bigger than most colleges. Every house was priced at about 2.5 million dollars and all new equipment was used in classes. They actually spent about 20,000 a year on each student. They own the Hershey's Chocolate Factory so they make billions of dollars. Also free admittance to hershey park and 20% off all chocolate products is a plus. the website is www.mhs-pa.org If you have any more questions involving this school that you might not be able to find on the website. feel free to email me @ the_best_emailaddress-intheworld@yahoo.com Hope this helps.

What currency is that? Regardless of cost, Geelong Grammar School is worth a visit. http://www.ggs.vic.edu.au/ It's ranked amongst the best in the world.

I've never stopped there, but have driven through. It's just stunning! The Atherton tablelands are extremely beautiful and you have the benefits of being in Northern Qld, whilst also being up high enough to escape the extreme humidity. It's less than 1hr from Cairns, so you still have access to a large town, the Barrier Reef, etc. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Don't waste a minute - if you're not doing your work then try to see as much as possible in that area while you're there - What a great place to be sent!

Yungaburra is about as good as it gets. Few in life get such an opporunity for nature studies.

Can you study makeup at university? australia.

Can you study makeup at university? australia?
Are there any universities in Australia that offer courses in makeup artistry or design.. i realise there are heaps of different makeup schools around, some very good ones. but i just think a degree would still put you higher... & theres not many around that offer it. do you know of any? If not, what are the best makeup schools in Australia (cost doesnt matter) & also does anyone know if the top makeup artists do a uni degree or just go to a good makeup school & work their way up the ladder? Any overseas unis that offer the same thing ( i know about LCF in England but have heard thats not that good) Thank you : ) x

umm..I don't think so

no uni is about serious things, that require a mind

There are makeup schools, you're going to want to deside what you're getting into though. (Prostetic makeup, medical makeup, fashion makeup, glamor makeup, wedding, ect) I'm going to our commuity collage for 2 years, then a makeup school. I feel that's a bit safes, if you wanted any advise on that. (my backup job is a translater) I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of any schools in Australia. I'm vairly sure that you just work your way up, but you also will get (and will need) a degree from the school. just cause you have to have one to be legally alloud to be working on other people's skin. edit: you will not be able to find makeup classes at regular unversities. For a carreer in makeup you would need to go to a makeup school.

You can study beauty at TAFE in Australia, and there are private beauty schools around also, but they are more expensive than Tafe.
5 :
im really not sure if there is a course regarding makeup in uni but im certain that there are in TAFE :) go to this link: http://www.uac.edu.au/course_search/search.html or search a certain uni on the web and go to their website cos it might say it there.. but check out the TAFE website aswell because there ARE courses for it, i have had friends do it and ive checked it out myself when browsing for other subjects: https://www.tafensw.edu.au/ and yeah there might be actual makeup acadamies but then again you should search for them :) the internet will give you answers good luck

I am a college student and want to move to Australia, but will the colleges accept my completed units

I am a college student and want to move to Australia, but will the colleges accept my completed units?
I am an australian citizen, I was born there, but when I was 4 my mom married an american and we all moved to the states. now im 19 and I desperately miss family back home(not to mention america looks like crap after my visit to Australia, and there are tons of jobs in Australia, the lifestyle is more laid back and the men are way hotter, i live near LA and hangout in hollywood so I know hott guys when I see them. besides that the economy here is no good.) and want to continue my education in Australia. however I am worried that the university there wont accept my completed classes (theyre all general education requirements and were completed at a community college) and I'll have to start from scratch. Does anyone know what the policy on this is? and I"ve already looked at all of the university websites and it didnt make sense to me. Also I'm pre dental and want to attend dental school in Australia, does anyone know the requirements for dental school over there and how many years of undergrad courses are required and how many years of actual dental school before I can begin working? thanx you guys. also by the time i move ill have my A.A. degree so i was hoping that would better my chances of getting into dental school, having a completed degree. also there a test for admittance into dental school, like the DAT in the states?

Australian universities have different requirements to US ones. The subjects you have done will not be counted towards an Australian degree. Difference #1 - Aus degrees are 3 year, US are 4 years. Aus degree major from step one. US degree major in year 2/3. The first year of a US degree is general subjects. Australia does not have that - you want to do a science degree? you do ALL science subjects. You want to do an Economics degree? you do ALL economics subjects. The only students in ANY of your classes will be the ones doing a major in that general area. Difference #2 - Dentistry is an undergraduate degree - no need to do a degree first.
2 :
A Bachelor of Dental Science (BDSc) degree is usually a 5 year undergraduate degree and that leads directly to being able to register and practise as a dentist in Australia. Some universities e.g. USyd are now offering only graduate entry 4 year degrees. I doubt if your community college units will be acceptable, but you should check with your preferred uni to confirm that.
