What kind of accommodation can I find in Australia?
There is a variety of accommodation available to suit different budgets and needs, including private accommodation
or a homestay with an Australian family. Shared accommodation with other students is a popular option,
and student noticeboards and newspapers often advertise rooms, apartments and houses for rent.
If you decide for shared accommodation then you will be living with some other students who rent and share a unit or a house.
Home stay gives the option of staying with an Australian family who takes care of you, but it is also more expensive.
Other options are accommodation in hostel, backpackers or hotels. Prices in these vary from cheap to expensive.
Useful websites which will help you look for your own accommodation in Sydney are:

Students should insist to inspect any accommodation before agreeing to move in.
