International survey says Australia is most expensive study destination

HSBC released a study last week that looked at tuition and living costs in 13 international study destinations worldwide. The results? Australia, the survey says, is the most expensive destination (among those compared in the study) at an average cost of US $38,000 per year.

The US follows close behind with an average cost of US $35,000 and the UK appears in third place based on an average cost of US $30,000.

The best place to study in Australia will depend on what you are looking for. There are several things you should start thinking about to make your decision.

Which city do you want to live in? Which university do you want to attend? What kind of academic program are you looking for? Are you trying to keep your expenses down? Are you looking for easy escapes for fun and adventure?
