Recently ranked as number 7 in Mercer’s 2019 list of most liveable cities, Sydney continues to grow in popularity; each year, almost 10 million visitors stay in the harbor city, and each day, more than 600,000 visitors come into the city and the inner city to see the sights, shop and explore. The population of this sprawling metropolis predicted to top 5 million this year.

  • Sydney Harbour is one of the most beautiful harbors in the world

  • Sydney is surrounded by water, and the sparkly azure waters of Sydney Harbour are some of the most picture-perfect. 15 minutes by train from our campus.

  •  Sydney’s weather is spectacular at best, and pleasant, moderate, yet still with four seasons that kind of…lazily give way to each other, at worst. Move here and you’ll quickly grow accustomed to generous, lengthy summers, mild winters, and sunny days
