HOUSing

  • Guilherme (Fall 2018): Uni housing would be more expensive than just getting a room. Renting rooms would go very fast, you could easily see a room and move in the next day. Super expensive rent for a single room would tipically be over 250-300 AUD per week

​

  • Mariana (Fall 2016): Expensive, but avoid the student housing at all costs

​

  • Patricia (Spring 2014): Expensive - Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world! About €1000 a month for rent
