Why Adelaide is the right placefor you to studyThe University of South Australia is located in the heart of Adelaide, Australia’s educationcity and the capital of the state of South Australia. The city of Adelaide is one of Australia’sbest kept secrets; it is beautiful and well-ordered, surrounded by parklands and within easyreach of long, white, uncrowded beaches and the lush green hills and valleys of Australia’spremier wine districts. South Australia, with its Mediterranean climate, lack of pollution and3700 kilometres of coastline, is the food and wine capital of Australia. It also has the largestfresh food produce market in the Southern Hemisphere (if you’re on a budget) and has morerestaurants per head of population than any other major Australian city (if you’re not).Adelaide is:SafeAdelaide is big enough to offer all the advantages of city living – an energetic businessenvironment, a vibrant cultural life and a world-wide reputation for fine food and wines– yet the city is small enough so that those advantages are easily accessible.TolerantWith a population of just over one million people, Adelaide has a democratic system ofgovernment and is tolerant of religious beliefs and practices. Almost one in four peoplein South Australia were born overseas and the rest can trace their backgrounds to morethan 120 countries.AffordableAdelaide enjoys one of the highest standards of living of any city in the world, yet it isone of the least expensive. Living in Adelaide is 24 per cent cheaper than in Sydney andMelbourne and 10 per cent cheaper than either Brisbane or Perth.Didyouknow?All international students get thesame discounted public transporttravel concessions as domesticstudents.EvenbetterPublic transport withinthe Adelaide CBD is free.The tram is free within the CBDand a free city bus - 99c - takes youon a city loop.
