     CANBERRA, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- About 2,700 international students were left with no places to study after the collapse of an Australian private education company on Friday.

    The students, mainly from Asian countries, went to classes only to find doors closed on Friday morning.

    The company that runs the colleges, Global Campus Management/Meridian Group, went into voluntary administration on Thursday.

    Hundreds of students who gathered outside the group's Melbourne and Sydney colleges reacted with surprise and shocked to the closures.

    Melbourne-based international student, Jass Sandhu, said she had no contact from the school about the closure.

    "Immigration should do something for us. If the college has closed it's not our problem."

    "We were studying well, we were paying our due. We weren't left with any dues, we were paying our due on right time. What about our future?" she said.

    Colleges affected by the closure include Meridian International Schools, the International Design School and International College of Creative Arts which have campuses in both Sydney and Melbourne and ESMOD Australia which is located in Sydney.

    The colleges, involving 13 campuses in Melbourne and Sydney, provide tuition in hospitality, design, English language, fashion and secondary education.

    Victorian and New South Wales education departments have been left to find places for many students to sit their end of year exams.
