University of Sydney is one of the Go8 schools of Australia (equil to Ivy League in the US). It really depends what you are studying. I'm assuming you are looking at a postgraduate course. Each university has its own specialty so we need to know what subjects you are interested in.

At least 50 fires were burning in early December in Victoria, and many were threatening to merge into unified, large blazes. Weather conditions over the weekend were predicted to deteriorate, making the work of firefighters even more difficult. High temperatures and far-below-average rainfall in the area have elevated the late spring fire hazard across the region.
2 :
Southern Australia was engulfed in a raging wall of fire that has claimed 300 deaths so far. Many people were burnt to death in their cars whilst trying to escape the flames that reached nearly a hundred feet into the air at times. Many homes , livestock and pets were also incinerated in the fast moving fire. Police believe the fires were started deliberately by what is euphemistically called firebugs in Australia, but this terminology does little to reflect the seriousness of this crime and the huge loss of life.
3 :
I would just like to point out that the fires have not killed at least 300 people right now. The current confirmed death toll is 181 with fears it may rise over 300 once the emergency services can get to the more remote towns.

Please do your own homework.

G'day, There are plenty around Australia. There are (only) 43 universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and equally recognised. So you dun have to worry abt qualifications and reputation. Nursing is very high in demand and quota is filled very quickly. I suggest that you visit the online database below to find the uni offering nursing to int. students. Find the website and visit the int. students section of the website where you can find the entry requirements, course info and application form. Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)
