"Adelaide is a great place to do things that
you want to do for yourself. It gives you 
space to be yourself. The people are 
friendly, the city is safe, and if you qualify
for a student working visa and find part 
time employment, the wages are excellent.
All these factors add up to make Adelaide
an ideal place to live and study, because 
you're not stressed out all the time."
