I had an amazing time I previously had talked to some friends that were going off of Instagram. Then I met them when I arrived and we haven’t stopped talking since I came. They are now flying over to come and see me again.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Australia & Oceania

Locations

Australia is far and away the largest country of Oceania, with a population hovering around 25 million and a bevy of major cities worth considering for study abroad. Sydney is the country’s largest city, considered one of the top 10 global cities on earth, while alternative destinations, such as Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, offer perhaps equally enticing urban environments for study abroad in Australia. Australian cities are often considered some of the most livable on the planet, so students will definitely be stimulated in the best ways possible while studying abroad in Australia.

New Zealand is another popular destination for study abroad in Oceania, offering beautiful landscapes and a charming, smaller feel in relation to its neighbor Australia. Study abroad programs in New Zealand are often located in Auckland, the country’s largest city, and Wellington, the Kiwi capital.

Beyond Australia and New Zealand, there are a dozen or so smaller island nations that further comprise the region of Oceania. Tahiti, Fiji, and Samoa are among the more populous countries of Oceania, and can offer study abroad students a highly unique cultural experience. The populations of these island nations are mostly rural, so students will likely not be living in a big city in any of these places. Therefore, students must be prepared for a much different lifestyle!
