Three things we learned from international students at The PIE Live Asia Pacific 2025

1. Visa hikes are a lose-lose

With Australia’s student visa fee recently jumping (again) to AUD $2,000, it is now the most expensive in the world. We asked current international students whether that price tag would’ve made them think twice.

“Coming from a very young international student, every dollar does count,” said one student. “It may seem very incremental given the whole grand scheme of things, but these are the small things that pile up that ultimately make me don’t want to be here. But I am here and I’m really glad about that.”

Another student put it more bluntly: If the fees keep increasing, Australia will lose out on talent.

2. Lifestyle matters to international students

Part of Australia’s international appeal is undeniably the lifestyle. “Active, healthy, family-oriented” were three words one student used to describe Aussie culture.

Another student praised the relaxed attitude of academic staff, highlighting a “lack of hierarchy” and appreciating that titles like “sir” or “madam” aren’t expected when addressing professors.

Being an international student, it’s hard, it’s it’s fun, it’s great. But it’s also hard to support yourself. Especially being at a very young ageInternational student

“Everyone’s really friendly. Everybody is very forward as well. And that was refreshing,” they said.

But it’s not just the lifestyle – many universities are making genuine efforts to support international students. Peer-to-peer initiatives like Griffith Mates were mentioned as strong examples. Students appreciated having a clear point of contact to help to adjust to university life, especially fellow students who have navigated a similar journey.

“Knowing where to find support is important,” said one student, highlighting the need for clear signposting.

One student highlighted the difference a supportive advisor can make: “I’ve been having a bit of a difficulty in my journey with a few of my courses, and she’s honestly been so caring. It’s like having this one on one discussion with a friend, I can explain to her why I’m feeling this way. She’s not just an international student advisor, she’s like a friend.”

Studying abroad is a life-changing decision, with real weight

We know that choosing to study abroad is a huge financial investment for students and families, but it’s also a deeply personal leap that goes far beyond money, and those supporting and interacting with international students must not lose sight of that.

“It’s hard. You’re on your own. You’re in a whole new place. And I’m straight out of high school,” said one student sharing their perspective.

“Going from being with family every day, being with your friends every day, and now you’re put in this situation where you’re starting school and getting to know people at the same time. It’s challenging, but I was fortunate enough to find good friends. And I do believe that friends do become family. Being an international student, it’s hard, it’s it’s fun, it’s great. But it’s also hard to support yourself. Especially being at a very young age.”
