<p>I was wondering if there are any Australian universities that are really good and compare with top American universities.</p>
<p>University of Melbourne and Australian National University are considered the best there, but I don't know how well they compare with American schools.</p>
<p>University of Melbourne would be the most internationaly aclaimed.</p>
<p>Check out this ranking:

<p>U of Melbourne rank 19th
ANU ranked 23rd</p>
<p>I believe their quality can be compared to many top american universities, although the admission standards are in no way comparable (Australian universities are very easy to get acceptance to)</p>
<p>It is absolutely amazing there!</p>
<p>A thought:
While in comparison to American Schools, Australian Unviersites are EASIER to get into, they are by no means easy to get into. The culture of college admissons isn't as prevalent as it is in America. That said, To get intoMedicine at Meloburn Uni for example, you have to get a 99.95 UAI score, out of 100 at least. Which is terribly hard to do unless you are very deidicated.</p>
<p>About two years ago when i started looking for universities abroad i did a lot of research on Australian universities and i agree tha melbourne and national universities are the best ....I prefer Melbourne(that city rocks) and depending on your major is going to be easy to get in...I myself decided not to go because of the distance and the price of the airplane ticket ...also i love usa and wanted to live here frpm the start..</p>
