Student Life
Student life is always exciting and full of surprises when you study in australia. There are many various places to explore and activities to engage in while you are completing your degree. Here are some examples of student life you will experience in different australian cities.
Melbourne
An inaugural ranking of the most student-friendly cities in the world, Melbourne was ranked fourth, just behind Paris, London and Boston.
The research group behind the ‘QS World University Rankings’ also listed Sydney at No. 6 – making Australia the only country in the world with two cities in the top 10! Melbourne’s high rating comes despite several years of bad international publicity, following a series of attacks on Indian students in 2009. Furthermore, the strong Australian dollar and strict student visa requirements resulted in a recent drop in international enrolments, which the matter is now currently being reviewed.
Harry Liu, who moved to Melbourne from Beijing two years ago to study a master of computing at RMIT, couldn’t agree more. ”I love the people here and enjoy my study … it is not cheap but not too expensive for me,” says the 25-year-old, who shares a house in Carnegie with four other students. He says he enjoys Melbourne’s restaurants and karaoke bars the most. ”I try a lot of Chinese restaurants, but also some Italian food. And I love going to karaoke a lot with my friends,” he says.
