Renting In Perth?

Question

Hi ive just started university in perth, WA (University of Western Australia). I live quite far from the uni so it would mean quite alot of travelling to and from the uni. Because of this, me and a group of friends are considering renting a house or unit near the university.

We are all pretty clueless when it comes to renting, so are not sure if this is a realistic option or not. To find a place that is decently close to the uni, what kind of price would we be looking for a 4 bedroom unit/house?

Answer 1

The UWA has a Student Services page online. Link below. It says "Housing Service offers a free and confidential service to enrolled students and staff of the University. Housing Officers do not arrange accommodation for staff or students. We can only provide advice and information; most of which can be found on this web site."

They would be the people to ask.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Also try one of the five accommodation colleges in Crawley.

These are Currie Hall, Trinity, St Catherine’s College, St Thomas More College and St George’s College .

Answer 3

Renting around that area is expensive... i know many people who have to catch a train and a bus to uni, its not too difficult, and a good way to save ur money.
