Looking for somewhere to live?

Adelaide is a great place to call home. It's safe, easy to navigate and offers excellent transport options. Consistently ranked one of the world’s most liveable cities, it’s also one of Australia’s more affordable cities.

Whether you’re a prospective student, current student or even a family member of one of our students – Adelaide University’s Accommodation Service can help you. Our friendly team can:

  • Provide local information, giving you a sense of what accommodation is available and how much it costs, so you can establish a realistic budget.
  • Connect you to a range of long and short-term housing opportunities, including student accommodation, private rentals, share accommodation and homestays.
  • Support you to maintain suitable housing throughout your studies. 

Which type of accommodation is best for me?

Adelaide offers easy access to a wide range of accommodation options. When considering which type of accommodation is best for your individual circumstances, you might like to think about:

  • budget
  • length of stay
  • location and access to public transport
  • safety and security
  • furnished accommodation vs non-furnished
  • lifestyle, including access to meals.

You may also need to consider your intended arrival and departure dates, and whether you’ll be accompanied by a partner or family.

If you plan to relocate your family to Adelaide for the duration of your studies, we recommend you secure appropriate accommodation in Adelaide before moving your family.
