Question

How much will be the living cost in brisbane for an internation uni student?

Answer 1

An accurate answer obviously depends on many factors, but as a guideline, Australian students over 18 are able to claim a Youth Allowance with Rent Assistance of around $462.00 per fortnight. I know several students who live reasonably well on this amount - all in accomodation (houses, apartments) shared with other students. They don't have a lot of luxuries, but have enough to pay for rent, food, clothing and the odd night out. If you can live in an area with decent public transport, that is a big help because running a car is very expensive and getting more so every week.
