When it comes to studying abroad in Australia, many students immediately think of Sydney or even the Gold Coast. But in reality, there are other incredible cities to choose from, such as Adelaide. The city is located in the south of Australia and is considered one of the most populated cities in the world.
But not only that, there are several other reasons why Adelaide is the perfect destination for any international student. We've listed 5 of them in this article:
1 - It's an affordable city
The average cost of living in Adelaide is up to 12% lower compared to other major Australian cities. In addition, Numbeo currently estimates that rent in Adelaide is around 46% lower than in Sydney, making it an affordable option for students.
Adelaide soon becomes one of the cheapest cities to live in Australia. Without the budgetary pressures of living in a big city, you'll be able to concentrate on your studies and make the most of your time in Adelaide.
2 - Quality public transport
Adelaide has several bus lines, trams (also known as cable cars), subways and an incredible bike path, if you choose to cycle. In addition, the city has some free bus lines. You can learn more about Adelaide Metro's free and special transportation services here.
3 - The city encourages permanent residence
Are you hoping to settle permanently in Australia after completing your studies? Studying in Adelaide can be a stepping stone to making that dream a reality. One of the main benefits of studying in Adelaide is the regional migration incentive program implemented by the Australian federal government.
The whole of South Australia is classified as a regional area for migration purposes. As a result, studying in Adelaide makes international graduates eligible to apply for a variety of long-term and permanent visas, including employer-sponsored and skilled visas.
4 - The city hosts several festivals
