ThrIvIng In ADELAIDE This booklet – an initiative of StudyAdelaide – is designed to welcome you to Adelaide and reassure you that services do exist for Muslim students.

It is an accompaniment to the more general International Students’ Survival Guide to Adelaide, which aims to help all new overseas students. The larger survival guide provides information on everything from accommodation, finding part-time work, shopping, entertainment and personal safety. You should find a copy in your StudyAdelaide Welcome Bag, but please ask on campus if you do not receive one.

We encourage you to get to know the contents of the two guides as soon as possible, and keep them on hand for quick reference in the months and years ahead.

Adelaide, study and Islam


At first I was shocked with the culture difference, as Australia is very different to Saudi Arabia. But now I understand more about the Australian culture.

There are a lot of religions here and you can practice your own religion without the interference from other people. There are prayer rooms so you can pray at university and they have allowed me to change my studies for my prayers and for fasting in Ramadan. They sat down with me and said ‘organise your classes to meet your religious needs’.

MY ADvICE? The main reason for coming (to Adelaide) is to live in and understand a different culture. If you try to fit in and go out into the streets and meet the people and talk with them – find out about why they do things – people are friendly and helpful. You have to understand that you fit into the culture.

The best part of my studies is that you get a well-rounded experience studying in another country. You can work with others and you can learn from them. You can change your opinion, find what other students think so when you go back home you can apply it.

Adelaide is quite good in terms of its lifestyle and cost of living compared to other cities like Sydney. And I’m studying at one of the best facilities in the world that I can get for my field.

MY ADvICE? Adelaide is one of the best cities you can choose to study. There is halal food and the people here are very friendly. I have found no discrimination and people are very understanding.

nurSYAhIDATuL AIn MuhAMMAD, MALAYSIA

I heard Adelaide is great for studying, it’s quite a small city and it’s a good life. It’s a great place to learn, with a lot of outdoor activities – you can have a barbecue in the park, which we don’t have in Malaysia. I see the people here are very relaxed and enjoy their weekends very well and enjoy their activities.

The student advisers and Muslim Student Association were very helpful for me when I first came over here. They provided me with all the information on halal food and helped me in getting around Adelaide.

MY ADvICE? You shouldn’t be afraid to come to South Australia, people are very welcoming and are happy to help with the problems you may face when you’re here.

What people find comforting when they come from overseas is that there is a community here that they can feel close to.

Australia is far compared to most other countries and it’s quite hard to just go back home, so having an Islamic community here is quite profound for students as they can feel the closeness, attend prayers and take part in multicultural events relating to Islam.

If you require help, you can get it from this community.

MY ADvICE? The sky’s the limit in Australia compared to what I’ve had in Lebanon. You have to come here with an open mind and a clear objective of what you would like to get out of Australia – what rewards you want to get out of it and be a positive influence Islamically. There are a lot of things that can benefit you and you can benefit the community as well.

I’ve enjoyed Adelaide. It’s not very crowded and the people are very friendly. The lecturers and tutors are very helpful – they like to help their students.

I chose Adelaide because the program I study is very good here. The university emphasises not only librarianship but also wider applications. And the type of study here is very different – it’s more about an experience than just theoretical learning. If you come here, you will get a well-rounded education. I also like the fact that the city is not very expensive in terms of lifestyle and the cost of living.

MY ADvICE? Make sure you learn a little about the city, tourism, shopping and entertainment. And your accommodation is a very critical thing, so take that into consideration before you leave home.
