Life as a Cadet
Most people don't realise that being a member of the Defence Force is, in many ways, just like a regular job.
Once your study commitments are complete, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself and socialise at ADFA.
Apart from regular sporting pursuits, living in Canberra provides you with an enormous variety of social opportunities such as museums, galleries, restaurants and bars.
Regular social events are also held both on and off campus, including formal mess dinners, sporting social functions and other social gatherings.
When it comes time to relax, the accommodation at ADFA provides everything you need to feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable and private, and there are common areas, lounges and the Cadets' Mess complex where you can unwind. In short, ADFA offers a huge range of opportunities that simply cannot be found at any other university.
It's little wonder that most graduates say that the years they spent at ADFA were some of the best of their lives.
