Amazing! Hardly had time to study.

Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Favourite night spots have to be in the city, Three Wise Monkeys in George St and The Gaff in Oxford St are cool. Sydney is a backpacker hotspot, and most backpacker places can be found in Kings Cross. Best cafe has to be Campos in Newtown - best coffee ever! Gloria Jean's Coffees is good too. Classics like Mardi Gras or New Year's Eve are events not to be missed. Try to make it to the Open Air Cinema in January/February.

Personal comments:
Favourite night spots were areas around the city, mostly Kings Cross and Oxford Street. Sydney is a backpackers hotspot so it is really easy to meet people from around the world. Best cafe has to be Campos in Newtown - best coffee ever! Gloria Jean's Coffees franchise is also good. Do not miss classics like Mardi Gras or New Year's Eve, and try to make it to the Open Air Cinema in January/February.

Uni Bar!!! short bus/train trip to centre of sydney where you can explore and find good cafes, restaurants and bars! Darling harbour has a great atmosphere at night. The uni is right next to a big shopping centre, with a huge food court, and cloth stores
