"The weather, the incredibly rich biodiversity, the very low population density, the favourable socioeconomic context make Australia the best country I have ever lived in. Moreover, I feel incredibly safe here. I really like the fact that students are required to self-manage their studies. We can organise ourselves as best suits us. There aren’t many hours of attendance actually required but there is a lot of personal research. I enjoy that very much as it enables me to define the angle I want to give to my studies."
