Is University of Adelaide a good school for Architecture studies?
G’day, Yes. Uni of Adelaide is one of (only) 39 universities in Australia and they are all tightly controlled, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content. Group of 8 (www.go8.edu.au) is a group formed by 8 universities all over Australia to unified their promotional method. However it does not indicate that they are the best universities or highest rankings in Australia. You are also right abt living expenses. Adelaide is slightly cheaper compared to Melbourne or Brisbane, and Sydney or Canberra are the most expensive cities. Below is the living cost info provided by Uni of Adelaide for international students. Hope this helps. E-mail me at mikegun@studentfirst.com.au if you have any further queries abt Australia.
