Besides the chance to catch a (surf) break between lectures, the active and healthy lifestyle (including 150 free and low cost activities each week – and students love free stuff), the vibrant art and culture scene and the great climate (did we mention almost 300 days of sunshine a year), there are the serious study advantages.

Mid-Term Break Camping Trip

The mid-semester break is always one I look forward to. Around this time every year, the weekdays seem to get longer and longer, and the weekends seem to get shorter and shorter. It’s a dreaded, but inevitable feeling of being three-quarters of the way through the school year- so close, but still so far. I think that’s what makes the September mid-semester break the most rewarding.

Over A Month Already?

University life here is great! I don’t know if it’s because it’s just the first year, and I’ve done University before, …

With flights to Melbourne only one hour, two hours to Sydney and Brisbane, and three and a half hours to Perth, a weekend getaway is a short flight away.
