Australia is one of the world's most popular education destination for international students, together with the United States, Great Britain and Germany.

But many foreign students are being exploited by greedy agents and universities. This includes Germans, Austrians and Swiss who regularly come to Australia to kick-start or further their careers.

Are you affected too?

What are some of your experiences - the good, the not-so-good, the plain ugly?

Tell us on facebook - we look forward to hearing from you.
