澳大利亚阿德莱德留学优势【2】

　　Adelaide joins Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth as one of six Australian entries in the QS Best Student Cities 2015 – reflecting the nation’s high quality of living, large and diverse student population and highly ranked universities.

　　Three universities based in Adelaide are featured in the QS World University Rankings® 2014/15, all within the world’s top 500: the University of Adelaide, University of South Australia and Flinders University. You can also search for business-related programs at universities in Adelaide using QSCourses.com.au.

　　Australia’s fifth largest city by size, Adelaide is located on the south coast, and is known for its attractive wide boulevards, open spaces, parklands and easily navigable city center. As well as being close to beautiful beaches and islands, the city is also within easy reach of the Adelaide Hills, great for hiking, cycling, wildlife-watching, or sampling some of Australia’s best wines close to the vineyards where they’re produced.

　　Back in town, there’s also plenty to explore, from watching a cricket match at the Adelaide Oval, to partying at one of the festivals hosted here each year (many during ‘Mad March’) – or simply enjoying the atmosphere at a café in one of the central squares.
