six of one and half a dozen of the other.

a lot would depend on what you are looking at actually studying i would be inclined to go to the one that provides the best course in your chosen area.

as far as lifestyle is concerned Adelaide is perhaps more laid back whereas Sydney is more high powered and possibly has more distractions.

remember there are a number of universities in all states and not just in the major cities.

maybe search the net under australian universities, look into each and see which best suits your needs. also you will need to apply to more than one as there is often a limited intake into some areas.

The difference in cost for an international student between the different universities in Australia is negligible. 1K a year difference at most between undergraduate degrees. The difference in living costs between Adelaide and Sydney is 4-5X a greater expense than a lousy 1K in tuition.

Always consider the quality of education than the tuition. I'm not saying that UNISA is not that good, there are some good universities that you may consider like going to Perth. As you know, Sydney have the highest cost of living in Australia so I will never prefer that place for you.

Given your list on wants in a place to study Hobart and University of Tasmania gives you nearly everything you want

1- Small city so people know each other and are friendly and welcoming
2-We have great live music and an active inventive arts scene, wonderful pubs and restaurants
3-Very low crime rate (much lower than the cities you have listed)
4-Hobart is possibly Australia’s prettiest city on a beautiful deep water harbour and surrounded hills and mountains Tasmaniana is famous for natural beauty
5-Beaches- we have some of the best in the world, scuba, kayaking and surfing are all popular – afraid the water isn’t the warmest but a wet suit fixes that
6-Hiking and outdoor activities are everywhere and you don’t have to travel hours to escape the city
7-Not only nearby wildlife but you get it in the suburbs, as well as bird life you can get bandicoots etc in backyards and there are mobs a wallabies in the urban bushland
8-Oceanography, marine sciences environmental sciences are a specialty of UTas
9-Hobart is about the cheapest city in Australia to live

Comment on Is there a christian family in Australia that would take me in as an exchange student? by Power Flower

LOL…. the biggest p*ssheads I know are actually devout, churchgoing Catholics! Anyhoo, you don’t specify your religion. People in Australia aren’t really "devout" the way people in America are. If it’s a concern about getting to church on Sunday, then I’d contact the Australian branch of the church you belong to and go from there. If it’s more a concern about respect for your beliefs and the general morals of the host family then it’s not so much of a problem. I don’t know the ins and outs of host families, but I think they’re usually families with kids at private schools, and the private schools are generally attached to a religion. It doesn’t necessarily reflect the families true beliefs though.

I live here I love it there’s such a huge range of stuff. We have rain forests but also have deserts . We have big and busy cities but also small rural towns. There’s little beach communities. and its an island.

We have a great economy, not many nationalities are against us, we have a great education system and so much more

We are a multi cultural society, with our natives been aboriginal. The average Australian various from place to place. in country NSW people enjoy going to the pub, hanging out with friends, doing bush walking etc. Although this is also common in the cities, alot of people in the cities enjoy shopping and then there’s the beaches. I cant help you on schools as ours is similar to the USA schools, but most schools are 7-12. The school year starts in January starts at around 9 and finishes around 3:30. We wear uniform though. When i went to USA school there was 6 class’ everyday and were the same. at my school i have chosen all my class’ except English. I do Ancient History, Drama, Economics, English, Spanish and Tourism and it varies each day i don’t do it in an exact order.

In Australia your also a legal adult at 18 so you can drink, get tattoos and stuff like that. Most people at my school go clubbing on the weekends and a lot even have tattoos.

college/university isn’t as big here as America. We don’t have Halloween, valentines day or thanksgiving, although v day and halloween are becoming more popular.

The people here will pay you out as a joke don’t take it to heart as we do it to everyone including ourselves. We are also very sarcastic and abbreviate everything and speak very fast. eg. mozzie is mosquito or spaz for spastic. The Meals at fast food places are smaller then USA we don’t have taffy (love that stuff)

Wow i can’ t think of anything else if you have any Questions I will give you my email
