what is the cheapest city/state to live in australia????

Question

and the cheapest university/college to study a degree?

i'd like to study computer science

Answer 1

Adelaide in South Australia in a city with three universities - Adelaide University (in the CBD), Flinders University (outer suburbs), University of South Australia (UniSA, in the CBD). For computer science I think the latter or Adelaide University would be best. I'd recommend UniSA as it's more practicable.

Adelaide is the fourth (or fifth) largest city in Australia, with a population of 1.2 million. It is a student-friendly city, with many students from overseas studying at one of the universities. It is very price-friendly when compared to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, easy to walk around in the CBD (and quicker than catching a bus!). The city is surrounded by beaches on one side, the hills on another. The Barossa Valley (with fantastic wineries) is an hour's drive away. You can easily find accomodation in the city, including student accomodation, which is fully furnished for an affordable price. Public transport is also reasonably cheap, though a little unreliable and limited in the outer suburbs. If you plan on getting into town in the morning and leaving before 7pm you'll have no problems.

It's a safe, clean city, sometimes quiet but if you look deep enough and make some locals your friends you'll discover that it has a good nightlife, plenty of fantastic and affordable restaurants, coffee bars, and pubs, and there's an event on every month it seems - if not two! Good luck.

Answer 2

Cheapest City In Australia

Answer 3

The difference in cost between most of the capital cities is the cost of accommodation, everything else - food, clothing, transport etc is much the same. The most expensive city is Sydney with Melbourne and Perth catching up quickly. After that would be Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide and Hobart. There is, however, cheap and expensive accommodation in all cities and many students share houses to ease the costs.

We don't have a college system as they do in the USA. If you want a degree, you go to University. There are about forty universities in Australia with different fee scales for different courses. You should really check out the universities themselves. Where you study should depend on what you want to study.

There are many rural universities and you might find unis like Wollongong, Newcastle or New England (Armidale) cheaper for both study and accommodation if they offer the courses you want to do.

Cheapest state would be Tasmania (generally) 'though it's not part of mainland Australia and so you're somewhat isolated. Cheapest city would therefore be Launceston. But you need to address what kind of study you want to do, what sort of lifestyle you're looking for while there/here and other such things. I didn't check but the Northern Territory might also be slightly cheaper (especially to live.) But that might not be the experience you're after despite many people finding Darwin a liveable city.

Answer 5

G'day,

Nice to meet you again in this forum :)

Tentofield is spot on as usual.
Now, remember the websites that I mentioned to you from you previous question abt studying in NZ or Australia? Those websites will be able to tell you which universities offer the course that you want to study and the universities' websites. If you go to the universities website and follow the links for international students, you will find the course guides with application forms and course fees. In some websites, they even list the typical living expenses for an international student living in their area. I will list a webpage from a uni in Melbourne for comparison.

Good luck mate :)

Living in Australia is not cheap.. Depends where you are really... Perth/WA is pretty damn expensive Melbourne Where i grew up is reasonable.. The Salary to Cost of living in Australia is usually just enough to live.. Rent, food, Travel etc.. Australia is a nice place.. with good laws which keep it safe... and lots of benefits for their residents.. E.g Centrelink. where the government helps out the general public with money, example, if you have no job, the government will help you with money Medicare - Some medical treatment can be 'bulk billed' where the government will help pay for you medical expenses..

Answer 7

University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba is only one and a half hours drive east to Brisbane. This is the biggest non capital inland city in Australia but has that small town feel. For more information see;
