As Australia’s capital city, Canberra has plenty to offer. With a prominent outdoors lifestyle and thriving student community, it’s no wonder the University of Canberra (UC) is a popular school choice. If you’ve made the decision to attend UC, choosing the right accommodation will make your time at uni all the more enjoyable.
Not sure where to start with UC student housing? Luckily, you won’t be short of options. It’s important to give thought to what type of accommodation suits your personality best. For some, a homestay with a warm, welcoming family is just what they need. Others may crave more freedom and time with like-minded students.
When making your decision, be sure to consider all aspects.
• Location – Living close to campus is super convenient and ensures your daily commute isn’t too difficult.
• Social life – University is a chance to meet new people, and you’ll have more chances to socialise living in uni-centric accommodation.
• Budget – Focusing on your studies doesn’t leave much time to work. Make sure you have a solid idea of how much you’re able to spend on rent.
There are pros and cons that come with every type of accommodation:
• Pros – Cheap rent, housemates turn into friends, freedom to host parties
• Cons – Messy housemates, less privacy
• Pros – Social and educational opportunities, close to classes
• Cons – Less freedom day-to-day, isolation from society outside university
• Pros – Home away from home, cultural immersion, improve language skills
• Cons – More dependence, potential rules to follow, isolation from other students
• Pros – Secure grounds, facilities built for students, opportunities to meet new people
• Cons – Fewer chances to meet local students, potential language barriers
