Hey! Can you share your experience studying at a regional area university in Australia? How’s the lifestyle, community interaction, and post-study benefits there? Looking forward to your insights!
Sure! Studying at a regional university in Australia offers a unique and enriching experience that extends well beyond the classroom. Here’s a breakdown based on my experience and understanding: The lifestyle is really laid-back, way less hustle compared to the bigger cities. The cost of living is more manageable too, especially with things like rent and groceries. What I loved most was how close you are to nature. Weekends often meant beach trips, hikes, or just hanging out at a local café without feeling rushed. The community aspect is something that really stood out. It’s a lot easier to make connections in a smaller town. I ended up getting involved in a few local events and volunteering projects, and it made me feel more like a local than just a student. People are genuinely friendly and curious about your story, so it’s not hard to build relationships that go beyond just “university life.” In terms of post-study benefits, there are definitely some perks. You get extra migration points, which can make a huge difference if you’re thinking long-term. Plus, the extended post-study work visa gives you more time to figure out your career path and get valuable experience. I also found that the job market in regional areas can sometimes work in your favor since there’s less competition for certain roles. If you’re someone who values community and wants to try something different, I’d say regional uni life is definitely worth considering! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m happy to share more!
Ballarat is also only 90 minutes from Melbourne or Geelong, so you can still go and watch the AFL most weekends, and it's possible to comfortably live in Ballarat and work in Melbourne or Geelong, as many do. Same for Geelong, live there and work in Melbourne for the best of both worlds.
Absolutely! Ballarat and Geelong both offer fantastic commuting options while allowing you to enjoy the charm of regional living. It’s a great balance for anyone looking to experience the best of both urban and regional life!
The interesting point is that, excluding Aldonga, the cities are the two biggest (non capital) cities in NSW and Victoria. A lot of praise for the climate in each city. There is no mention of the downside of climate in each. From personal experience, Ballarat has a cold and dank winter with a hot summer (I grew up nearby). South-westerly winds in winter straight from Antarctica, north-westerly in summer straight out of Central Australia.
Newcastle, the only city where you can surf in the morning and drink semilon at lunch...yeah forget Bunbury and Margaret river down the road ..no way you could do that there 🤦♂️🤣
Absolutely! Newcastle offers such a unique lifestyle with its beautiful beaches and vibrant food scene. It’s definitely a top contender for anyone looking to enjoy both the surf and a good glass of wine!
This video says a lot without saying anything at all. No QLD regional cities (Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Cairns, Townsville) and 3 of the regional cities wouldn't qualify as regional to a lot of people (Geelong, Newcastle, Wollongong). Wouldn't hurt for the video to actually have some details on the places like names of local attractions, and for balance, the cons of each. Heaven forbid the actual average housing costs be provided.
I appreciate your feedback! You're right; there are so many amazing regional cities in QLD and beyond that could have been highlighted. I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for future videos!
Why are all the people handling money using Monopoly money. Definitely not showing Australian money. Ballarat was a major town for gold, but Bendigo was the gold capital of Victoria.

Wagga Wagga is definitely a hidden gem! It's great to know there are affordable options with essential services. Thanks for sharing!
@Michael-r1x5h yep WAGGA WAGGA is the best. Theres so many Christians living there and yazidis as well. It's a beautiful place to be WAGGA WAGGA

@AmazeJourneys Sounds like a ChatGPT answer

Geelong is basically part of Melbourne. I wouldn't call it regional lol

Is Tasmania can consider a very good city to live in?
Tasmania is definitely a great choice! It offers stunning landscapes, a relaxed lifestyle, and a vibrant community.
It doesn’t matter where you live it’s so expensive to buy in Australia and live here always has been expensive to live here
You're absolutely right! The cost of living in Australia can be quite high, and it's definitely something to consider when choosing a place to live.
Correct title=5 best regional cities in Victoria and NSW. Tell me you know nothing about Australia without out telling me.
And when saying Wollongong is an hour south of Sydney... They show stock footage of Melbourne...
Yeah Queensland has exit the chat

@AmazeJourneys i think you missed the point.

Don't come to Wollongong please. We are full.
Haha, I get it! Wollongong is a hidden gem, and sometimes it's nice to keep the best places a little secret.
@AmazeJourneys ba ha ha ha! We have been looking and Wollongong. Seems so nice to be just an hour away by train from Sydney.
This video gives off the Geelong vibes! Does the AI know the words to the Geelong Cats theme song?

Ballarat was a major town for gold, but Bendigo was the gold capital of Victoria.
She really has trouble pronouncing those town names 😅
I suspect she is an "it". Place and proper nouns seem to be still a problem for artificial "intelligence" text to voice programs.
She is an AI bot
G_ long lol
1.48. Look at all that land clearing to put solar panels. Really environmental 🤦♂️
It's definitely a big step towards renewable energy! It's great to see more regions investing in solar panels to promote sustainability.
@AmazeJourneys not when you have to destroy the environment in the process
Nonsense
@ginagriffith2846 yeah sure, clearing all the land and habitats for solar and wind farms is really environmental...keep telling yourself that 🤦♂️
