What are the top universities in the Brisbane area, and how would you describe the general weather there?
Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well! I’m an American currently weighing my options between two friends who want me to relocate to their respective countries. One is in Calgary, Canada, and the other in Brisbane, Australia. Each has made compelling arguments, so I’m doing some research before making a decision.
If I do decide to move, I’d want to secure a job first. I’ve spent the past eight years working in IT at a state university, and I’d prefer to continue in that field since it’s much less frenetic than corporate IT. I’m interested in knowing which colleges and universities in Brisbane are worth considering.
Additionally, I’d like to learn more about the weather there. I’ve always preferred cooler climates, but I know everyone has different preferences. I’ve found some information online, but I’d love to get some firsthand insights! Thank you!
