It was actually a lot better last year. Lately I've noticed a lot fewer hotties parading around George St.
I guess cost of living might be a factor. With the cost of living in Sydney so unsustainably high, I wouldn't be surprised if there would be an exodus of international students going to more affordable cities like Melbourne for their studies. How many people can afford $1.2k a week for a 2 br flat? Even split among 4 people that's a heavy burden just for lodgings. It's an unrealistic economy in Sydney right now.
