Basic Information about Studying and Living Expenses in Australia
Australia is popular around the world
for its unique flora and fauna, beaches, greenery, welcoming people and
multicultural society, but it offers a lot more than just that. With a huge
area of 7.69 million square kilometres, Australia is the sixth largest country
in the world. Its rich culture is founded on its Aboriginal heritage and a
perfect mix of vibrant cultures. Also, the country is a global leader in
education. And that’s what makes Australia the first choice for Nepalese when
it comes to studying abroad.
Some Nepalese students want to join
nursing or accounting courses while others wish to study engineering in Australia. Nepalese are so common in Australia
that you will see them walking down the streets, on coffee shops and
educational institutions alike. In short, Australia is no less than a paradise
for those who want to make a bright and successful career.
