About Fiji

Fiji, a country in the South Pacific, is an archipelago of more than 300 islands. It's famed for its rugged landscape of blue lagoons and palm-lined beaches, and eco-activities from mountain climbing and surfing to soft-coral diving and zip-lining.
If someone asked, 'Are you are happy?' what would you say? Well, if you lived in Fiji, there is an almost nine-times-out-of-10 chance you'd say 'yes!'. According to WIN-Gallup 89% of Fijians report they are happy, making Fiji one of the happiest countries in the world. And what are the odds that a trip to Fiji will make you happy? Good! Here are ten reasons why Fiji is such a spirit-lifting destination:
Colour : With myriad greens in the landscapes, yellows and chartreuse mingling as palm trees rustle in the breeze and the bright oranges of ripe mangos and papayas, Fiji flaunts all the feel-good colors. White waterfalls tumble into black lava rock pools for some calming notes.
Climate : With balmy temperatures hovering between 26 and 31 degrees Celsius (79 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit) few complain of the cold in Fiji. Clothes are needed for modesty only and life happens mostly outdoors.
The multi-hued cultural environment is a big draw for the international student. Did you know each of the two public universities of Singapore has student strength of more than 20,000 students?
Community : Fiji has a very tight-knit society that is mostly village based. Even the cities feel small and aunts, uncles and cousins are likely to live in the same neighborhood. Kids are cared for by the community, and –yes nowhere is perfect – the crime rate is low. Young people are free to roam around and play.
Fresh food : Fiji is known to have some of the best food in the South Pacific thanks to the Indian, Southeast Asian and Chinese influences blended with Melanesian staples like taro, tropical fruits, coconut, pork and seafood.
Kava : Called Yaqona in Fiji, this ceremonial narcotic is more popular than beer in these islands. Pass through any village and chances are someone will be drinking it and they may offer you a bowl, or three.
Music : A warm starry night, a good meal and some kava drinking inevitably means that the guitars come out and everyone sings, slaps their knees, plays the spoons or just hums along with the song.
Fiji time : No watch? No problem. No one hurries in Fiji. When plans are delayed, things don't go as expected or something just slipped up somehow, people don't worry or dwell, chances are they'll take a nap, chat with a friend or have another bowl of kava.
Ceremony : Religion runs deep in Fiji and the Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Sikh faiths are all well represented. But beyond the churches and temples (which fill on their days of worship), the Fijian culture itself holds many traditions. Sevusevu, whereby a visitor presents the village elder kava root, then it's served in a traditional ceremony, is deeply important. When walking through villages it's imperative to wear a sulu (sarong) to cover the legs, shoulders and upper bodies should be covered and no one should carry a bag from a shoulder strap or wear a hat. While all this sounds complicated, these rules show respect for the community and inspire unity.
Multiculturalism : Visitors mostly see the native Fijian side of Fiji but in fact only 57 percent of the population claim full Fijian ancestry. The majority of the remaining islanders are Indo-Fijians of Indian heritage but Chinese, Southeast Asians, European, and other Melanesians and Polynesians (from elsewhere in the Pacific) have settled here.
Peace : Fiji has had a rocky political past and only recently held open democratic elections again after a coup in 2006. But even at its most tense, serious violence has not been an issue here and the current situation appears to be solid.

Why Study in Fiji

Fiji may be a small country but it is a tourism powerhouse. Being on an archipelago has its advantages, which include pristine beaches and secluded islets. It's no wonder this tiny South Pacific nation gets its fair share of international students looking to spend time studying the flora and fauna of the world's largest ocean, and the geography of some truly gorgeous islands.
Swim Till You Drop : Studying in an island nation certainly has advantages, and one is the ability to hit the sand and sea almost every day. Fiji is home to some of the best beaches in the world.
Spend More Time Outside : At 86-89 degrees Fahrenheit almost the entire year, Fiji is ideal for those who love spending days in the sun's rays. If you're studying abroad in Fiji from May to October, the temperature can drop a good 20-25 degrees, so those more accustomed to cooler climates might want to consider summer study in Fiji.
The Sweet Life : Days and nights in Fiji are slow and laid back. You will never feel pressured to move fast while studying abroad in Fiji. This doesn't mean you should slack off on your studies; it just means you are encouraged to enjoy the sights, sounds, and flavors of the archipelago while you learn.
No Language Barrier : English is widely spoken in Fiji, as one of three official languages along with Fijian and Fiji Hindi. Being understood is never an issue while you are studying in Fiji.
Food Evolution : Fijian cuisine today is very different from that in pre-Colonial times, when the natives practiced cannibalism (!).
