Greetings, please forward to front page,

Please i really need a good spirited Nigerian studying in Australia, or someone who have a good knowledge and processes of getting admission for Msc program in Australian university, I have been to some agents and they are just after money, I want to get involved in the process so I don't fall my hand during interviews, the areas I need help is as follows:
1. How do I apply to schools without having to go through agents.
2. Which school to go for, considering cost implications too.
3. Someone who resides there that can assist me in the process too.
4. And probably other information I need to know about going to Australia for Msc program.
Please help a brother as am eager to but have limited information. I will so much appreciate someone who has been there or who is still there,I would prefer the later though for some reasons, thanks as I anticipates your positive response.
