Question about studying in Australia

[InViSiBlE JuIcE]

Those who actually live/d or have been to Aus., I am thinking of studying abroad my senior year and would like your input...

The institution I would be attending (sister-program of my current university in the US) is "Australian Catholic University" (ACU). It looks like a small sized school; does anyone have any input of its quality? (My internet is real bad right now, so I am having problems with their website.)

Also it has applicable programs in:

Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, or Sydney during the Fall or Spring.



Which city do you feel would offer the best overall experience?



Thanks

Melbourne, IMO.

I've visited Sydney and Brisbane... loved 'em both, you'll have a great time at either one.

Well I grew up in Melbourne, so naturally I would say to go there.

Pros: The city itself, best nightlife i've ever experienced, surrounding area, good summer weather

Cons: The weather in the winter is kinda ****ty, it's not a coastal city - rather located in a massive bay so you have a bit of a drive to actual beaches.

I personally don't like Sydney - overrated in my opinion and too touristy. The only thing it has going for it is a few beaches - which are WAY crammed in the summer.
