Student Accommodation

The Student Accommodation in South Australia page provides links to accommodation providers and information services in South Australia.

For students leaving home and going to university or other tertiary education for the first time, finding affordable, safe, well-located accommodation is necessary.  However, it can also be a nightmare trying to find a place that suits your needs within your budget.

Luckily, there are many services available to help new and not-so-new students find accommodation while they are studying.  Universities and other tertiary institutions offer advice and support to students seeking accommodation, and there are also outside services available for anyone looking for a place to live.

Finding student accommodation can be stressful and difficult, but with the help of the accommodation services out there, it is possible to find suitable housing within a student budget.

If you have never lived away from home or are new to Adelaide or Australia, you may have lots of questions about finding a place to live.  University accommodation and residential colleges provide amazing value and are situated in close proximity to campus, transport and other important consumer services. Our friendly team can also introduce you to a range of other accommodation options.

Flinders University Accommodation - http://www.flinders.edu.au/housing/index.html

There is no better way to be a part of university life than to live on the university grounds. Flinders is the only South Australian university with on-campus accommodation in the Adelaide metropolitan area, and you have two options: University Hall (catered) and Deirdre Jordan Village (self-catered).

Both offer high quality facilities and the chance to have some serious fun.

If you’d prefer to live off campus, Flinders Housing can help there too. We run a free, up-to-date Accommodation Service which lists private accommodation available on the rental market.

If you’re about to come to Adelaide to commence your studies, you may also want to make use of our Temporary Accommodation Information. The International Student Services Unit at Flinders has additional accommodation information for International Students.

Student Accommodation Service - http://www.unishare.com.au/

UNIShare was established in early 2006 as a specialist provider of shared student accommodation in Adelaide, South Australia. The popularity of our first house in Pooraka, within walking distance of the Mawson Lakes campus of the University of South Australia (UniSA), soon demonstrated the demand for quality and convenience in private student accommodation. The great news is that UNIShare has expanded in 2008, opening a second house, this time in Mawson Lakes itself. Both houses are close to public transport, 30 minutes by bus or train from the North Terrace campuses of UniSA and the University of Adelaide. The Adelaide Flight Training College (AFTC) at Parafield Airport is only 15 minutes away, and the Regency Park and Torrens Valley TAFE campuses are within easy reach.

UNIShare provides fully furnished accommodation. The rent covers utilities, broadband, and cleaning and gardening services.

UNIShare is privately owned and personally managed by the landlord to ensure the best service to our residents.
