Students have had many problems with their accommodation during their time in Melbourne. Accommodation has been one of the biggest issues to date and student organizations are advocating for cheaper accommodation which is close to college.
Legal rights
In the paper by Smith & Nyland (2007) it said that many students do not know of their rights in the first three months. But there are information sessions which talk about these things, but many students do not know.
Share housing vs Rooming house
Nyland (2007) said that not many students know the difference between rooming house and share house. A share house doesn't have as many people where as a rooming house has about 10-15 residents. A rooming house has a lot more stringent rules.
But some of them can be unsafe especially if they have 10-11 residents in one room or a small house.
A share house is cheaper but some of them are unfurnished. Some of the housemates can be quite disruptive especially if they love parties and drinking.
College houses
This is more expensive but if you want to experience a lot of Melbourne life and make friends then this might be the way to go.
Melbourne Uni has a lot of college houses which includes the bills in the rent. They also have many activities for students. Some of them include meals.
RMIT Village is very expensive for one tiny bedroom. Here it is about $400 per week (all bills included) but it doesn't include food.
