It is as safe as you want it to be!
Stay away from trouble spots, don’t wander alone at night, etc.
Simply put: Use your common sense.
what nationality are you?
Australia makes an ideal study destination for international students. If you are not an Australian citizen then you may apply for a student visa. For more information, you may visit
You’ll be fine if you use common sense. Just avoid walking on backstreets too late at night, but Sydney is not more dangerous than any other big cities in the world.
