Almost one in four people in South Australia were born overseas with ancestry tracing back to more than 120 countries. Australia also has a democratic system of government and is accepting of different religious beliefs.
ACCESSIBLE
Adelaide offers all the advantages of big city life but is still easy enough to get around. It takes just 15 minutes to travel from the airport to the city and 20 minutes from the city to the beach or hills.
AFFORDABLE
Adelaide has one of the highest standards of living in the world yet is one of the least expensive. This means more money to spend on food, accommodation, supplies, travel and entertainment.
BONUS SAVINGS
As an international student in Adelaide, you will be offered the same public transport discounts as local students, saving you hundreds of dollars every year. Another benefit is that you can also work while studying.*
