Accommodation
We know finding accommodation can be tricky, so we’ve provided you with information to make it easy as possible for you to find somewhere that will suit you best during your time at Monash.
When you first arrive
We recommend that you already have accommodation organised before leaving your home country. However, if you’d like to settle in and explore areas and suburbs of Melbourne before deciding on where to live, short-term accommodation might be helpful.
Be sure to arrange your flights so that you arrive in your new city at least two weeks before the Monash Abroad orientation.
Living on-campus
If you’d like to have an immersive experience, study is your main objective and you not a fan of a commute, on-campus accommodation might be right for you.
Living off-campus
If you’re keen to explore your new city every day, prefer tree-lined streets or the company of locals, you might like to find your own accommodation. Maybe you already know people in the city where your Monash campus is located, or you’ve made fast friends with other Exchange and Study Abroad students and you’d like to live together – whatever the reason, we can help you find your new home.
There are many accommodation options available – you could live in a share house or private student accommodation.
