what is the estimate living expenses for a college student in australia, rent, food, tranpso, utilities?
I'd like to have my own room, nothing fancy, just the very basic.. no idea what the cost of rent would be plus other miscellaneous expenses.. would i be able to support myself working 20 hours a week?

Working 20 hours a week will give you after tax around $250 a week. Rent in a shared apartment near the uni (where these share type places are located) will be around $220 week sharing a room to $300 with your own room. That only is the rent portion nothing else. The information given to international students is that you can earn around 60% of your living costs by working the max hours. Thats all. Also you need to know that getting job with 20 hours a week every week is impossible - it will be 12 hours one week, 20 the next, 18 the next etc. If there is not much business, casuals are asked to leave.
