Accommodation Cost:

In this article, I will try to cover all kind of expenses related to accommodation; it is only based on estimation and so varies among individuals. In my view, for living a happy life in Australia; there are two main things which you must have.

i. An Accommodation

ii. A Good Job

Hunting for accommodation is as difficult as hunting for a job. I have seen many people they keep on changing accommodation because of different issues like not good understanding with room mates/partners or because of high cost.

Many students from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, SriLanka, China, Vietnam etc., rent a single house and then share it with other students. Usually 2-3 rooms in a house and two people share a single room; it makes it cheaper. But accommodation near to a university is always expensive, so make sure you balance the cost and convenience.

House Rent:

Normally rent for one person sharing a room is $200 per month, which makes it around $50 a week. Students may get accommodation slightly higher or cheaper then this rate. Rent can be further reduced by increasing the number of people in the house but I won’t recommend it because it may create many different issues and may also affect your studies.

Bond Money Or Security:

Before moving to a new accommodation, most probably you have to pay bond money in advance also. Bond money is usually equal to your one month rent. This money will be kept by tenant or who ever has got the lease with his name. In case of any damages, charges will be conducted from this bond money. And when you are leaving that accommodation then you will get it back; this is how it works among students sharing accommodation.
