Study abroad in Cairns is an opportunity to not only live in the tropics and have the ability to go scuba diving or beach lounging on a whim, it is also an opportunity to have a natural canopy as your classroom. However, as with every adventure abroad, there are some obstacles that students may face during study abroad programs in Cairns.
Cairns is undoubtedly a very touristy city, with thousands upon thousands of visitors every year arriving in the city to enjoy it’s year round summer, the infamous reef, and swimmable beaches that are just a short drive away! As a student with aims of being immersed in the local culture and history, some find it difficult to truly become a local, as most industries in Cairns are based on attracting foreign visitors.
On the flipside, since Cairns attracts so many people from around the world, students can make life-long friends from every corner of the globe. This also entails that there is a new adventure lurking around every corner as long as the student is willing to dive into something new, whether that’s snorkeling off Fitzroy Island or diving into the swimming holes at Crystal Cascades.
Another challenge students will have to endure while studying in Cairns is the finicky weather, rain, heat, and back sweat, oh my! However, the weather is a positive for those looking to escape the winter and cold; warm weather year ‘round means that their sunny days and blue skies are here to stay. So pack those flip flops and a boat load of sunscreen, because it’s summer all the time in Cairns.
So...ready to take your exams in the middle of a rainforest? Cairns is dangerously fun, and we’re not just talking about the lethal jellyfish. Between the sunrays, ample ice cream options on the esplanade, and opportunities to get knee-deep in environmental studies, it’s no wonder foreign students are fleeing to this corner of Oz like mad. Grab your sunnies, your thongs (yes you read right!), and join the masses by studying abroad in Cairns!
