School ILSC Brisbane in Brisbane, Australia

Laid-back city set along the winding Brisbane River with eclectic music, arts and café culture.

Brisbane, the third largest city in Australia, is a sleek, multicultural city in the east, just north of the Gold Coast. You will fall in love with its year-round, warm subtropical climate and the beautiful Brisbane River that curves through the heart of the city. Brisbane combines all the exciting elements of big city living, great culture, music, shopping, arts and more, with a warmth and welcoming feel of a smaller community, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

The ILSC–Brisbane campus is only two minutes from Central Railway Station and overlooks a lovely park. The student lounge opens out onto a protected, enclosed terrace, where you can take breaks, relax and eat lunch.

I chose ILSC-Brisbane in Australia because it is a safe country and I thought it was best for my first experience traveling to a foreign country. When I was just exploring the city, grabbing a map, many people asked me "Hi! Where do you want to go?" People in this country are always friendly and kind. I am highly impressed with it.
