Book - The Truth About Being An International Student:

“Thank you so much. I got your book today. For the first time in my life I actually started reading a book straight away. It is indeed a very well written and presented book. You have put a lot of hard work into it and it shows as one goes through the pages. You seem to have put everything an international student should know before coming to Australia. I wish I had something like this before I landed. It would have been so handy.” Nagina Ahuja, Indian international student who completed her Masters Degree, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
“I found your book to be a very interesting read and I’m certain it will be useful in developing our student services further. Congratulations on all your hard work.” Alana Marshall, Marketing Services Manager, Bradford College, University of Adelaide.

“Your book is a wonderful resource. I think it is very honest in its depiction of the life of international students studying in Australia.” Adam Bryers, Regional Marketing Manger, Curtin University of Technology, Western Australia.
“Congratulations on your book being published. I hope it goes well and you continue to educate us all who are in the care of international students.” Alex Agius, Co-ordinator, Resident Support Services, Victorian YMCA Accommodation Services.
“I have already started reading your book. If I had my way, I would try to get a copy to every student. What I have read so far is perfect and clearly presented. I have alerted our students to the book and the website.” Marc Barry, Activities Co-ordinator, Language Educator, English Worldwide, RMIT University.

“Claudia Doria’s guide for foreign students, therefore, is a well overdue reference for such students. The stories are often quite illustrative of the issues confronting students as they try to make their way in Australia, and teachers, and students will recognise characters like the ones described in Doria’s guide. The guide is appropriately written, pitched as it is to students from non-English speaking backgrounds. The language is quite simple and most students should be able to find the information they require without too much trouble. …This useful book may become an essential companion for foreign student. I would recommend this guide both to foreign students, ELICOS teachers, and Homestay hosts.” Review by Kendall Warren, Newsmonth, Newspaper of the NSW/ACT Independent Education Union Vol 25 #6 August 2005.

“The stories of the individual students coping in Australia make for interesting reading material for student representatives and students alike.” Review by An Avid Reader, The NLC Link, For International Students by International Students.
“I hope you keep up the good work with all your writing because it can only help us as Homestay Hosts if we study your book in detail and see some of the points you project to many, in varied and different ways…. I find every time I re-read it I gain a better insight into the area, if I have been unable to find answers. Please consider doing a book for the Homestay Hosts as I know they are in desperate need of it” Sandra Greenfield, Homestay Host, Queensland.
