More of a collection of coastal "suburbs" than a single centralized city, the Gold Coast is one of Australia's fastest-growing metropolitan areas.  It's renown for its beautiful beaches, great surf, and innovative small businesses. While the area's skyline showcases high rises in a few suburbs like famous Surfers Paradise, most of the rest of the coast is modestly developed and maintains the chill vibe you'll come to expect in Australia in general. Study and live on or near Bond University. Consistently earning Australia's Good Universities Guide's top ranking for student experience, Bond is a beautiful, modern, medium-sized campus with state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant campus life.
