I feel safe in Perth and I am thankful that my parents let me study overseas. I really enjoy being able to hang out at the beach, but also at Kings Park in the middle of the city. The people here made me feel at home very quickly. I'd say to anyone given the chance to come here that Perth is a great place to study and live.
