Locations

Accepted Answer

Selecting a location for attending biomedical science schools is important, as you want to be stimulated by the environment, but not be so overwhelmed that you&rsquo;re unable to excel in your classes.

With a wide range of geographical landscapes, sprawling coastlines bordered by the Great Barrier Reef (which has great in its name for a reason), the wild outback and the wonder of Uluru, you&rsquo;ll also be in a prime position for weekend and vacation explorations.
If you&rsquo;d like to try somewhere more off-the-beaten-path, take a look at opportunities in the Middle East, like Lebanon or the United Arab Emirates, where the education system is currently blossoming. This less-explored area of the globe will leave your friends and family back home inspired by your adventurous spirit and envious of your cultural acquiesce.
