Finding somewhere to live

Most international students choose one of four options. From cheapest to most expensive:

• A room in a shared house. The most common choice. In expensive cities it is often the only affordable option.
• Student accommodation. Buildings made for students, usually near campus.
• Homestay. You live with an Australian family.
• Your own studio or one-bedroom apartment. The most expensive option.

Two things to know before you sign a lease. First, the bond is usually four weeks of rent. A government office holds it, not the landlord. You get it back at the end. If someone asks you to pay a bond in cash directly to them, this is a warning sign.

Second, you usually cannot inspect a property from overseas. Book two to four weeks of temporary accommodation first. Then look at properties in person. This avoids the most common and most expensive mistake students make.

Your school's accommodation office is the best place to start. It is free. They know the area and often keep a list of checked properties.
