study abroad or exchange student (school, universities, racism)

[Equal-Opp.]

I would like to know if anyone had any experience with studing abroad or exchange students from US. I noticed a lot of negative post about race relations in AU & NZ and I hope that is not the case at the universities and colleges. Is there any particular school to stay away from that would be less tolerant of foreigners with dark pigmention?

There's loads of international students at UQ and I've never noticed any issues with racism based on skin colour. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, only that as a person of light skin pigmentation I haven't experienced it. If I were you I'd get in contact with some student groups in Australia and ask there. Try Facebook perhaps?
