From USA to G’Day

Looking for a country to further your study with sun, sand, surf and safety from walls? We may have a solution for you!

The United States of America has always been the land of opportunity, especially for immigrants who don’t have a strong economy and modern infrastructure back home. While those beyond the border are clambering to get in, a not-so-surprising social trend has emerged… a record number of Americans, and especially young woman want out.

Also not surprising – this trend skyrocketed after the Presidential elections of 2016. Anti-trump patriots who are don’t share hardline views immigration, students and and record numbers of young people are now looking to permanently move to another country. Ouch.

One out of every five U.S. women (20%) said that they may want to move to another nation FOREVER on the off chance that they could.

Fair one, although to put this in context, this is DOUBLE the Obama (10%) or Bush years (11%). By and large, 22% of Americans who objected to Trump’s performance during his initial two years said they may want to move. This in contrast to the 7% who actually endorse his work.

If you’re one of the 22% mentioned above, keep reading, you’re not alone. We have more interesting statics for you!

Canada is the preferred destination. It’s close. We get it (kind of). However, for liberal popular groundswell wanting to leave the continent, good news! Australia’s right up there too! Even better – it’s not minus 30 degrees celsius here, ever.


Students are not only wanting to leave the states, but prospective international students are also looking elsewhere. A recent report from NAFSA (via The PIE) indicates that the USA as a study destination is also on the nose (2017-2018 saw a 6.6% decline in new international student enrolments). It’s estimated that the decline in international student enrolment which may have cost the US $5.5 billion and more than 40,000 jobs, as a result of “unwelcoming policies and anti-immigrant rhetoric”.

Isn’t studying in Australia expensive?

Education in Australia is relatively affordable compared to other developed countries which is a HUGE financial perk! While high-profile institutes in Australia charge a heavy sum each semester, there are numerous extremely reputable colleges and training organisations who provide affordable alternatives (all institutes are recognised and must adhere to a national quality framework). Popular courses include leadership & management, project management and marketing.

Too much month at end of the money?

No problems – International students can take up to 20 hours worth of part-time work per week while their classes are in session (to help manage living expenses and maintain a higher standard of living). During semester breaks or when classes aren’t in session, they can work for an unlimited number of hours. Minimum wage is over $18, which means students can earn just under $700 a week when working full-time.
