Would you recommend it?
I tried 2 different student residencies (Scape on Bank st and Y suites on Waymouth st). As I was in a studio at scape, it was very confortable, otherwise I don't recommend this residence, it is one of the oldest and without nice infrastructure. About Y suites, I also was in a studio, less expensive (420$/week) it was small but very convenient. I recommend to have a look at other student residencies such as Yugo, or Switch (more modern and complete).
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Lots of bars, pubs and everything is in a close area. Night life only during the end of the week. But still possible to go out all week. The best club is the Rocket rooftop, I also like Wax and Shotgun Willies. Best bars: 2KW rooftop, Cumby, Cry baby, Tap Malt on the river.
🎓 Uni life at University of Adelaide
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Strategic management, consumer behaviour.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is really nice in the nature but also right in the CBD. Lots of study spots (renovated), open 24/24h 7/7. Many activities organized by the uni. Registration was quite easy, and you can request help any time.

🌆 Adelaide vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Adelaide?
You can have student reduction for transport, there are bus/tram and trains going all around the city. My favs: There are beaches 30min by buses (Glenelg/Henley) best sunsets. You can also go in the hills I recommend Mount Osmond Lookout (koala spotting). The city is safe I never had trouble, even if some homeless are around sometimes.
