Description:

Murdoch University is set on a beautifully landscaped campus and is located approximately 20 minutes from Perth’s city centre (10 minutes from the popular café district of Fremantle). Perth is home to about 1.3 million people. Many students say Perth is one of the best aspects of studying at Murdoch University - the people are friendly, the city is safe and clean, it has over 30 miles of white sandy beaches and more hours of sunshine than any other Australian city! The people of Perth enjoy a largely outdoor lifestyle due to the fact that the climate is one of the best in the world. Because the summers are long and hot, the locals spend much time at one of the many beaches in the metropolitan area. On weekends, they also flock to Fremantle (nicknamed “Freo”), a thriving historical city close to the Murdoch University campus. Fremantle is well known for its vibrant cappuccino strip, with outdoor cafés, restaurants, pubs, museums, art galleries, and flea markets.
