At this time of year you, like a lot of other students, may want to move to a new place. In a tight rental market and with limited time before the start of the next study period, where do you start?
Here are some practical suggestions:
As well as campus noticeboards and Classified Advertisements in the newspaper, there is a wide range of other options for different budgets and requirements. Just hop on to the Accommodation website http://www.unisa.edu.au/accommodation/
- Want to share a unit or house? Log in to the Rental Database. But remember to do it regularly, because the database is updated daily with new listings.
- Have you registered with the SA Student Housing Association? The email updates will alert you about upcoming vacancies.
- If you want to stay in purpose-built furnished student accommodation, head to the Student Accommodation part of the website for student hostels, apartments and residential colleges.
- Need some advice and tips on renting and protecting your rights? Browse through the Advice & Tips and FAQ sections.
Did you know that there are lots financial grants available to Australian citizens that are not allocated on the basis of academic merit? In other words, you don’t have to be genius to qualify.
And last but not least: never, ever agree to a lease before reading and understanding the entire contract.
If in doubt, get some reliable, independent advice.
Good luck,
Pat Petronio, Accommodation Services Coordinator
