What are my accommodation options?
Short-Term Stays: A Great Starting Point
Need a place to stay while you get settled? Short-term options like hostels, hotels, or serviced apartments are ideal for your first few weeks in Melbourne. They provide the flexibility you need as you explore long-term options and get to know your new city. Study Melbourne has a helpful tool to match your preferences.
Renting: Finding the Right Space for You
You can rent a house or apartment by yourself or share with others to make it more affordable. Melbourne has a variety of rental options available through real estate agents or directly from landlords. Be sure to check sites like Domain and Flatmates to find the right fit. Don’t forget to understand your rights and responsibilities as a tenant before signing a lease!
Managed Student Accommodation: Convenience and Community
Managed student accommodation is a popular choice, offering a convenient, all-inclusive living experience. You can choose from private studios to shared apartments with access to communal areas and student events. These facilities are usually close to universities and public transport, making your life hassle-free.
