Study in Australia

Walking down any suburban Australian street you will notice the many people who are obviously not Australian, yes I am talking about the man international students who seem to have taken over our once very Aussie streets.

I find myself asking the question 'why?' Why do we have so many students that are from different countries.

Is it the fact that the Australian government gives you a lot of support to study.

Is it that it is cheaper to study in Australia? Or is it the fact that we have well qualified lecturers and teachers, smaller class sizes and more facilities then the rest of the world.

The thing is you just don't realise how well off our country is in regards to Education unless you have been else where or have spoken to a student from another country.

We are very lucky to have the resources we do, why shouldn't we
share it with the rest of the world?
