Amazing Facts
Australia is a massive, diverse country. Two of the most popular destinations for our students at Everest Global Education are Sydney (the bustling eastern metropolis) and Perth (the booming western capital). If you are deciding where to study, here are five amazing facts about these two incredible cities.

For students from Nepal and India, Perth is incredibly convenient. It shares a time zone with 60% of the world’s population (AWST). Perth is only 2 hours and 15 minutes ahead of Nepal, and 2.5 hours ahead of India. This makes calling home, working with overseas clients, or catching up with family completely effortless compared to the larger time gaps on the East Coast.
Sydney is the financial powerhouse of Australia. It hosts the regional headquarters for hundreds of multinational companies (like Google, Apple, and Microsoft). If you are studying Business, IT, or Finance, the networking and internship opportunities in Sydney are unparalleled globally.
Did you know the entire state of Western Australia, including the capital city of Perth, is classified as a "Regional Area" for migration purposes? This means studying in Perth gives you access to an extra 5 points for your PR application and extends your post-study work rights!
Studying in Sydney means your weekend backyard includes the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, and the Harbour Bridge. It is consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful and culturally diverse cities in the world, hosting massive international festivals year-round.
Thanks to Western Australia's massive mining, engineering, and tech sectors, Perth consistently boasts some of the highest average wages in the country, coupled with a significantly lower cost of living and cheaper rent than Sydney.
With Everest Global Education offices located in both Sydney and Perth, you have on-the-ground support no matter which incredible coast you choose!
