Australia is one of the top destinations for the students to pursue their higher education. No doubt the living standard and quality education attract many International students every year. But, at times, students get confused about which part of Australia they should study. Where you choose to study is a very major factor if you want to get a longer work visa based on graduation or in the future if you wish to apply for permanent or temporary residency.
