🚀 Top Reasons to Study in Australia: World-Class Universities & Student Living
Thinking about studying abroad? Australia isn’t just about stunning beaches and sunshine. Australia is home to some of the world’s most liveable cities and top-ranked universities. For international students, that means safe, vibrant, and inspiring places to learn, grow, and explore.
According to the QS Best Student Cities 2026 rankings, Australia dominates the global stage, with Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth standing out as student favourites. And when it comes to quality of life, the Global Liveability Index 2025 places all three cities among the world’s top performers.
But what really makes the experience unforgettable is finding the right place to live. That’s where Yugo student accommodation comes in: giving you a true home away from home, with modern spaces, a global community, and all the support you need to live your best student life in Australia.

And here’s the big news: in 2026 the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia will merge to create Adelaide University. This brand-new powerhouse has already made history, debuting at 82nd in the world and 8th in Australia in the QS World University Rankings. That makes Adelaide University the country’s newest major institution, and a serious choice for ambitious international students.
