Head to the Gold Coast of Australia, renown for its beautiful beaches, great surf, and exceptional entertainment. More of a collection of coastal “suburbs” than a single centralized city, the Gold Coast is one of Australia’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas. While the area’s skyline showcases high rises in a few suburbs like infamous Surfers Paradise, most of the rest of the coast is modestly developed and maintains the chill vibe you’ll come to expect in Australia in general. You’ll study and live on or near Bond University, a beautiful, modern, medium-sized campus with state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant campus life. Plus, you don’t have to worry about your summer getting cut short back home, since Bond operates on a U.S. academic calendar, unlike any other university in Australia.
