Adelaide is Australia's fifth largest city with a population of one million people. It is the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the city which makes it attractive to international students. The city boasts easy access to great Australian beaches, parks, state forests and is just a stone's throw away from some of Australia's best wineries. Living in Adelaide is comparably less expensive than other Australian cities. However, this does not detract from the city's festive spirit which holds year round events like art, film, music and food festivals celebrating Australian multiculturalism. South Australia enjoys a mild climate with four distinct seasons. These include warm, dry summers with temperatures averaging around 25 degrees celsius and cool, wet winters with temperatures around 15 degrees celsius.
