The University of South Australia looks after its students very well.  There are International Student Advisors on each city campus to help with accommodation, banking and insurance details and all those other issues that international students face when they first arrive.  These Advisors will make sure you make a safe and happy start to your university life in Australia.  There is also a Learning and Teaching Unit, Common Rooms and Prayer Rooms, more than 40 clubs and societies and 24/7 security on campus.

Adelaide is a city of one and half million people and is well known for its arts festivals, its wines and fine food.  There’s lots of great shopping, sports and parks and gardens.  Truly a beautiful place for you to relax after studying.
