Welcoming Attitude 

Besides, Australia prides herself on being a friendly and welcoming country. Individual Freedom, Rights of the Citizens and most importantly Visitors are all protected under a transparent legal system. Being a Multicultural society, Australians have respect for others no matter who they are or where they come from. For your information, almost 30% of Australians are born overseas!

Most of the cities have dedicated student support centers and you’ll always get help from them. The Australian ESOS ACT (Education Services for Overseas Students) framework enforces by law the protection of the rights of International students studying in Australia. Therefore, no worries regarding settling down as a new student on a foreign soil!
