Independent rental
This accommodation style includes renting self-catered apartments or houses, either individually or with other students. It is generally cheaper and can offer more flexibility. Weekly rent usually does not include costs such as electricity, gas, internet or phone and will vary depending on the suburb you choose.
Live with an Australian family (Homestay)
If you want to experience Australian culture, or seek temporary accommodation until you find a suitable place to stay, living with a local Sydney family can be a good option. It can also help you settle quickly, providing the opportunity to participate in the daily routine of an Australian family and to practice English language skills.
Short-term options
This accommodation option can be more expensive, however it is a great option if you want to stay in short-term accommodation before finalising a more permanent place to live.
