Deakin Unversity, Melbourne
If you love coffee, culture and incredible food, you’ll love the Victorian capital (and one of the world’s most livable cities), Melbourne. Melbourne’s eccentricity, creativity and love of the arts is universally famous. In a 2017 report by Boston Consulting Group, the city was rated the top cultural destination in Australia, the third top cultural destination in the Asia Pacific region, and twelfth in the world. If you want to absorb some of Melbourne’s culture, check out the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.
