Short-term housing
If you are moving to Sydney from overseas or interstate and do not get on-campus accommodation, you will need to organise temporary accommodation while you look for permanent housing.
Depending on your budget, you may want to stay in budget accommodation like hostels, guesthouses or lodges, or you may be able to afford to stay in a hotel or serviced apartment. We suggest you start with these providers:
