Queensland is ranked among the top universities where its main
campus is located in the suburb of St. Lucia in Brisbane. Australia
offers signi?cantly lower annual tuition fees for many popular
courses at institutions and universities.
Australia is such a large country that its weather varies signi?cantly
in different parts of the continent. In the north there are tropical
regions with high temperatures and high humidity and distinct wet
and dry seasons such as the Northern Territory, Queensland and
the northern parts of Western Australia. Most of central Australia
is usually in a state of drought while in the south are the temperate
regions with moderate rainfall and temperatures ranging from hot
to cold.

The United Kingdom (UK)
London is the capital of England, and also one of
the world’s fashion capitals. It is a place where 10
million people call home. London is the beating
heart of the UK and remains one of the world’s
most expensive cities. All four of the UK’s constituent states
(England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) enjoy areas of
outstanding natural beauty. Other languages including Welsh, Irish,
Ulster Scots, Cornish, Scots and Scottish Gaelic are spoken besides
English; the main language spoken in the UK. You can easily hop
on a train or any other transportation and, surprisingly, you will be
somewhere completely different in less than an hour!
A UK quali?cation is globally respected and recognised. There
are over 450,000 international students from all corners of the
world studying in the UK. The University of Cambridge is the
second best university in the world (2012/13 QS World University
Rankings), and not forgetting, the University of Oxford which stays
at ?fth position in the same rankings. Indeed, beyond the four UK
universities (University College London (UCL) and Imperial College
London being the other two) that make the global top ten, there
are a total of 30 institutions in the top 200, and 55 in the top 700.
Most universities will try and house their ?rst-year students in their
own accommodation which is usually a room in a shared ?at with
other students. Students may choose private halls, but they are not
owned by the university. The costs can also seem higher although
it may appear to be similar to the traditional halls of residence. For
