Living in Melbourne, Australia is a big part of your student experience. If you are going to be living away from home while studying, there's a wide range of accommodation options.
As a condition of their student visa, students under 18 years of age must be cared for by a legal guardian. We recommend under 18 students consider the UniLodge and Homestay accommodation options.
UniLodge is a leading student accommodation provider for students throughout Australia. Monash College and UniLodge have a strong partnership to make sure that all of our students are well cared for. There are a number of UniLodge properties close to our Melbourne City campus.
The best way to immerse yourself in the cultural experience of studying in Australia is to live with Australians. Monash Homestay Accommodation Services specialises in organising local host family accommodation for international students.
Monash Residential Services provides on-campus accommodation for all University campuses as well as pastoral care support.
Organising your own accommodation in Australia is an option for international students over the age of 18. There are many apartments and share houses in and around the centre of Melbourne. Costs vary significantly depending on location, size and amenities.
Monash Residential Services can help with off campus accommodation or try real estate rental listings at a site such as realestate.com.au.
When you are renting a home in Victoria, make sure that you know about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. Monash Residential Services also offer confidential information and advice about housemates, real estate agents and landlords.
