If you choose homeshare accommodation you will need to pay the first four weeks' rent in advance. After four weeks you pay every week or fortnight in advance. If you wish to leave, you must give a minimum of one week's notice in advance. If you decide to find your own accommodation, we can arrange temporary accommodation for you when you first arrive. Renting a room in 'share accommodation' is one of the best ways of mixing with Australian students.
Rents vary according to the size, standard and location of accommodation.
Most rented accommodation in Sydney is unfurnished. Furnished accommodation rents may be higher. You can make an appointment with our accommodation officer to discuss your preferences about location, transport and cost. You can find accommodation through advertisements in newspapers, notices on University student noticeboards or from real estate agents. You will have to visit the apartments or houses and make your own decisions, but this will give you an opportunity to meet Sydney-siders and explore the suburbs.
