We know that affordability is especially important to students, so we’ve included comments about the cheapest (and most expensive) places to live.
Adelaide
Food, wine, culture and spectacular scenery. That's what draws the tourists, but locals also love Adelaide's liveability. A laidback lifestyle, mild weather and a low cost of living make Adelaide a great place to live. For students, Adelaide has the added bonus of being the third cheapest university city in Australia. Adelaide is a gateway to exploration - a 3,800 kilometre coastline of beautiful beaches, close to the outback, surrounded by the mountainous Flinders Ranges, and wine country at your doorstep.
