Hi Aussies of Reddit!

I have decided that I want to study abroad in Australia next year. The only issue is, I don’t know where I want to go. I’m from New York, so I am 100% comfortable with city living— in fact, I would rather study in an urban setting than in a rural area. My only dilemma is, where? Melbourne? Sydney? Perth? Help me decide! (edit: plus other cities I don’t know of!)

Of course, the status, cost, and programs offered by whichever university I choose will take priority over location. But let’s be honest, does any international student really come Down Under just for studies? Of course not.

I want to get a feel for Australian life, culture, and nature. I love to aimlessly walk around new places and explore everything I possibly can. Let me know where I should explore in Australia :) x
