The 6 bedroom apartments are all located next to each other which allows everyone to meet everyone. You share the house with 5 other people and the apartments are mixed.

Closer to Perth, taking a day trip to Rottnest Island is an absolute must. Going there was 100% my favourite thing I did in Perth. It\u2019s super easy to take a bus to the boat harbour and then catch a ferry to the island \u2013 just book your tickets ahead of time.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Winter 2023, Bachelor of Global and International Studies<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Near Perth there is Rottnest island that has beautiful beaches and amazing local wildlife. This is a must-see attraction of Perth since it is one of the only places where you will see Quokkas. Furthermore, Esperance is an amazing location south of Perth that has the famous lucky beach and dwarf kangaroos that are friendly to humans. North of Perth there is Broome that has many attractions such as camel riding, whale watching cruises that allows you to swim with whale sharks, and cable beach. Also, since Australia is very close to Asia you can visit Bali in Indonesia for an out of this world experience that includes rainforests, monkeys, amazing food, and amazing accommodation at a very very low cost (this is the most popular travel location for Australians).&#8221; &#8211; <em>Winter 2023, Bachelor of Cognitive Sciences<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/dl>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location Language of Instruction Open to Level of Study Perth, Australia English All Faculties Undergraduate Fields of Study Arts &amp; Humanities; Business &amp; Law; Education; Engineering; Nursing; Medical &amp; Health Sciences.
