Why Australia is such a favoured destination

So just why is Australia such a favoured destination these days, especially with the Indian students?

Getting admission to Australian Universities is much easier, say compared to the United States and the UK. The number of Indian students applying has gone up sharply in the last few years. There are about a lakh Indian students in Australia.

It's easier to get student loans for applying to Australia.

Work permits too are far more flexible than other countries, and it's easy to get a job and repay the loans.

The immigration policy of Australia is also much more simpler than other countries. So most of these students who go there for education, find it easier to apply for permanent residency after a few years.
