Student Life in Brisbane
Location
Weather
01.
Queensland isn’t called the Sunshine State for no reason. With more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Brisbane summers are famous for subtropical heat cooled by beautiful afternoon storms. Winter days rarely dip below 20°C, and there’s nothing quite like an afternoon nap in the winter sun. In between, spring and autumn are particularly popular with students, especially around October when the jacarandas begin to bloom across the city – despite them being a sign that exams are looming.
02.
Brisbane has one of the lowest costs of living in comparison with other Australian cities – from transport to accommodation to meals. That doesn’t mean there’s a compromise in quality, though. It just means that your dollar will go a lot further living in Brisbane than in our southern counterparts.

Brisbane is an inclusive study destination and is known as a safe and welcoming place to live. Events like the Lord Mayor’s International Student Friendship Ceremony, giving international students the chance to meet and have their photo taken with Brisbane’s Lord Mayor, and the City Welcome Festival, a city Orientation Day with free music, food and networking opportunities, have been very popular with international students.
04.
An advantage of living in one of the world’s most multicultural countries is the variety of food and activities at your doorstep. The city’s diverse and inclusive community is reflected in its extensive calendar of events and festivals held throughout the year, which has included the popular Paniyiri Greek Festival, Australia’s largest Oktoberfest and BrisAsia festival.

Brisbane offers a range of quality purpose-built student accommodation. Scattered throughout Brisbane to be easily accessible to all institutions, these residences provide support, facilities and a community to students from a variety of institutions.
