Regular bus service connects the campus to beaches and major shopping centers. Queensland’s Sunshine Coast offers an atmosphere of sophistication and relaxation. With sub-tropical climate, the beaches provide excellent waves for surfing and calm water for fishing and swimming. The Glasshouse Mountains offers spectacular outlooks at the plains below. There are a wide variety of restaurants, nightclubs, art galleries, and other exciting attractions such as the Australia Zoo and Underwater World.

Some offer an in-depth look at Australian history, politics, environment, business and other courses which focus on the broader global perspectives.

Housing and Meals

Students live in privately-managed apartments next to the USC campus. Students can arrange to live in either The Varsity Apartments or UniCentral. Both offer comfortable, fully-furnished accommodations a short walk to the University (connected by pathways) with local shopping nearby. Student apartments are approximately a 10minute drive or 20-minute bus ride to the beach. Both complexes offer fully-furnished apartments with private bedrooms and bathrooms and living and kitchen facilities shared with three other students. The complexes also offer amenities such as swimming pools, athletic courts, barbecue areas, and laundry.

After acceptance, students make accommodation arrangements on their own and pay housing fees directly to the accommodation providers.
