Life in Melbourne is awesome, and that’s not exaggeration by any means. And if you are a student here, it gets even better because of many added perks. Whether you’ve always lived in Melbourne, or you’ve come here from another city or country, you’ll easily relate to what I am going to mention below.
Melbourne is rated the world’s most livable city, and there’s a reason for this. It’s the cultural capital of Australia and widely acknowledged as the sporting capital of the world. And, well, this is easy to defend. We have cricket, footy, tennis, car and motor racing, sailing and more. We even hosted Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm recently. Did I mention the Melbourne Cup?
Anyway, since Melbourne has once again been named the world’s second best student city, I decided to go out on the streets and ask some students what they like the most about this wonderful city. The answers are reflective of diverse range of experiences student life in Melbourne has to offer.
1. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere
The first to answer was a student from La Trobe University. Shivarya is inspired by Melbourne’s diversity in terms of its population, and the harmony people belonging to different cultural and religious values exhibit. “People with different religions and their politeness [towards each other’s values] make Melbourne the most livable city,” he told me.
And of course, aside from all the glamour and attractions, a student always needs time and space to study. The campus culture and other learning opportunities are well-suited for students in Melbourne. “Personal space and a friendly atmosphere create a good environment to study,” Shivarya summed up.
