Gold Coast<br />
... a vibrant outdoor cultural lifestyle<br />
ABOUT THE GOLD COAST<br />
Universally acclaimed as one of the most desirable places to live on planet earth. Imagine 40 kilometres of pristine surfing<br />
beaches, World Heritage rainforest and a casual outdoors lifestyle. A mosaic of leisure pursuits includes kayaking, surfing,<br />
team sports, scuba diving, windsurfing, beach activities and hiking to name just a few. Don’t forget the world-class theme<br />
parks, modern shopping centres endless places to eat and watch the world go by with your new friends.<br />
The Gold Coast is Australia’s premier business and tourism destination with a vibrant interaction between lifestyle,<br />
general commerce, and green, clean industries, including education, information technology, luxury boat<br />
manufacturing, film and Television production and tourism. You will feel right at home in our culturally diverse<br />
community with a homestay family you may find difficult to leave.<br />
With all this, consider 300 days of sunshine, a big blue sky, fresh air and a picture perfect azure ocean. Plus, the climate is<br />
as warm as the welcome you’ll receive when you choose to study on the Gold Coast. There’s simply no other place like it!<br />
Student experience<br />
I like the Gold Coast because it has many shops,<br />
beaches and cafes. The beaches are bigger and<br />
more beautiful than I imagined.<br />
My family belongs to the surf lifeclub so I am<br />
lucky to go to the beach almost every weekend –<br />
this is new for me because in Korea I didn’t go to<br />
the beach.<br />
I feel more relaxed now than when I was in Seoul.<br />
My parents are happy because I am studying<br />
hard, but I am also having fun.<br />
The Gold Coast is smaller than Seoul, but there<br />
is also lots to do in my free time.<br />
