1. Adelaide’s low cost of living

 Compared to other Australian cities, rent in Adelaide is quite cheap, meaning you can live closer to campus, closer to the city, or closer to nature in the hills or near the beach.

2. Adelaide is a safe, friendly, and connected city

Adelaide’s community proved itself to be safe and responsible throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, recording very few cases of community transition, and as a result, South Australia has remained one of the safest places to live in the world. 

3. It’s easy to stay healthy and active in Adelaide. The central business district is surrounded by beautiful green and tree-filled parklands, with free exercise equipment, and an abundance of free playing fields, tennis, and basketball courts. 

4. South Australia is called the festival state for a reason. We have an amazing blend of cultural events, art festivals, and cuisines. From mid-February through to mid-March, we host the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere, the Adelaide Fringe Festival. During this event, the city comes to life every night with people, pop-up bars and restaurants filling the streets of the East End.

5. It’s easy to work while you study in Adelaide due to how easy the city is to navigate, and with a lower cost of living, you won’t always need to take that extra shift meaning you can be flexible. You can get a job in the city and take shifts around your classes, with only half an hour of travel time needed.
