Even with a low budget, you can still enjoy a comfortable and pleasant stay in the charming and vibrant cities of Australia for studying abroad.
Hey guys, don't just focus on Melbourne when coming to Australia. These underrated study cities are absolutely amazing!
My friend in Sydney also agreed that even though we're in the same country, the expenses are like night and day. Just the rent in Sydney is almost double compared to other lesser-known cities, and the cost of living is also around $2000 per month.
⭕️ Gold Coast: The beaches in Gold Coast are the most beautiful I've ever seen, and it's perfect for surfing. You can even catch a stunning sunset over the sea in the evening. Despite being a tourist city, the rent here is much lower than Sydney, averaging between $350-700 per week, including living expenses. The average undergraduate tuition fee is around $30,000. Bond University and Southern Cross University campuses are located here.
⭕️ Adelaide: Adelaide has been consistently rated as one of the most livable cities in the world, similar to Chengdu in China, and the cost of living is relatively affordable. That's why it's a popular choice for many international students. Undergraduate tuition fees are around $36,000, and rent ranges from $180-350 per week. The average weekly living expenses are around $500. Moreover, Adelaide offers a 14 or 28-day ticket for public transportation, allowing unlimited travel.
⭕️ Canberra: Canberra is a very peaceful place, so calm that it makes time feel slower. Although many people think there's not much to do or eat in Canberra, the National Gallery of Australia is definitely worth a visit. Some people even fly from Sydney or Melbourne just to see it. Canberra is also the second most affordable option in Australia. The average undergraduate tuition fee is around $33,000, and you can find a decent room for just over $100. Transportation is also student-friendly, with an average fare of less than $2 per trip.
⭕️ Brisbane: The average undergraduate tuition fee in Brisbane is around $38,000, and rent and living expenses range from $510-1120. The main transportation system in Queensland is TransLink, which includes trains, buses, and ferries. Students need to apply for a go card to enjoy student discounts.
