Personal recommendation
Academics and other activities (mostly drinking and surfing) are equally treated by most of the students here- if you prefer focusing on academics only, you might want to consider other universities.

“Quality University close to Sydney”

Overall
Excellent, highly qualified staff. A leading University in Australia. Facilities are state of the art and second to none. Courses cover all areas and are offered at undergraduate and post graduate level.
Superb location, close to Sydney yet far enough to get clean, cheap accommodation. Excellent social city and vast array of beaches and sports facilities for leisure time, both on and off campus.

Final comments
Don't choose the residences of halls or just a couple of months because it's expensive. Travelling is quite fun because there are a lot of people in this case and you will meet easily people.
