There are plenty of rationales why I decided to choose the University of Adelaide. The University of Adelaide is ranked 106 in the 2021 QS World University Rankings. Being a member of Australia's Group of Eight, The University of Adelaide is the only University in South Australia ranked inside the top 250. With over 140 years of educational experience and recognized as a leading research university globally, The University of Adelaide provides one of the most delicate course structures for Masters of Computer Science. This well-adjusted degree structure is one of the main reasons I have chosen to study at The University of Adelaide even though I have offer letters from The University of Sydney and The University of Queensland. One of the other reasons I decided to study in Adelaide is the cost of living. The living expenditures in Adelaide is less compared to that of Sydney and Brisbane. One last reason to sum up my decisiveness to study at the University of Adelaide is that the University has awarded me with the 30% Global Citizens Scholarship, which not only provides a 30% reduction of the tuition fee for the standard full-time duration but also stands as a testimony of my hard work. I would definitely want it to stand as part of my identity in the future.
