City location

Lifestyle
RMIT is the ideal destination for any student wishing to explore all that Melbourne has to offer. Step out of RMIT and into one of Melbourne's world famous laneways, filled with cafes serving food from an amazing range of cultures, casual or sophisticated eateries, art galleries and hidden shops. Alternatively, if you prefer, join one of RMIT's many sporting and social clubs. Explore the Yarra River. Spend an active or relaxing day at the beach in summer, or the ski-fields in winter.

Student Profiles
Angela Budczinski, Germany
Study Abroad
G'day Guys! My name is Angela and I am from Germany. I was a Study Abroad Student for one year at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. I choose Australia because it offers everything you could dream of! Australia is a country which combines beautiful beaches with the most amazing underwater marine life, hot and dry deserts with famous natural landmarks like Uluru, lush tropical rainforests, and a huge range of exotic animals. I choose to study in Melbourne because I wanted to live in a multicultural city where I would have the opportunity to experience different cultures. Melbourne is a great city with interesting museums, great shopping, and beaches and botanical gardens - perfect for enjoying a picnic with friends in summer. After I had decided to study in Melbourne, it was perfectly clear that my University of choice would be RMIT University. RMIT University is situated in the heart of Melbourne city, and offers a wide range of subjects which are very diverse and interesting. At the end of my Study Abroad year, I was sad to leave RMIT, Melbourne and Australia because I enjoyed it so much. But I know I will return in the future!
