Rental Accommodation
Rental options include studio apartments, townhouses, and shared houses. Many students choose to live with housemates to reduce costs and build friendships.
We recommend arriving in Canberra at least one week before classes start to give yourself time to find and settle into housing.
When looking for a rental, consider:
-
Location – Belconnen and Gungahlin regions are close to campus and public transport.
-
Budget – Consider rent plus utilities and internet.
-
Furnishing – Furnished places are easier; unfurnished is usually cheaper.
-
Transport – Ensure easy access to buses or light rail.
