Why Study in Adelaide

Adelaide continues to be one of the most cost-competitive markets for setting up business and leasing office space, and the regions are even more affordable.
Adelaide was designed for convenience. Our city planners surrounded the central business district with parklands and established a grid network of broad roads. As Adelaide grew, many of the outlying suburbs also embraced the grid pattern, so today, traffic moves freely and easily. Adelaide prides itself as a manageable city where you can spend more time where you want to be – not just getting there.
Regional Travel South Australia also offers other regional public transport systems, both buses and rail, as well as flights to outer regions to speed up travel time when required. Overall however, South Australia is a very ‘driveable’ state with most regions accessible by car.
