In the last couple of decades, Perth has established itself as a key center for education both within Australia and globally. Ranked as the fifth most expensive city among all state capitals (behind Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide), affordability is a contributor to Perth’s rise as a top post-secondary destination.
With five major universities located within the city limits, a bustling student population descends on Perth at the start of every school year. Curtin, Edith Cowan, and Murdoch Universities along with the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Western Australia attract a total of 35,000 international students every year.
With such a large number studying abroad, students looking for accommodation have been able to find an increasing number of apartments and flatshares in Perth to meet the increasing demand for housing. Numerous options exist for international students and those from around the country on all budgets. While services like gumtree.com remain popular for those trying to locate an apartment, specialized student accommodation venues offer a social alternative for newcomers to the city.
One of the newest shared accommodations in Perth is Campus Perth. Located in the trendy Northbridge district, Campus Perth is equipped with a fitness studio, kitchen, and three areas to socialize and unwind with fellow peers (The Link, The Commons, and The Rooftop). Guests even have access to barbecues on The Rooftop for that perfect summer afternoon.
A deal of incredible value, Campus Perth is currently offering 4 weeks of free rent when booking a 22 week contract for the second semester.
Another option for student accommodation in Perth is Townsend Lodge. In operation since 1914, Townsend Lodge was originally an all-female accommodation and boasts a mix of international and Australian students. The lodge offers a free continental breakfast for all of its guests Monday through Saturday, one less thing to worry about for those pursuing their degrees. Located next to Cathedral Square, all of Perth’s university institutions are easily accessed from this central location.
A useful resource for students looking for accommodation is flatmates.com.au. The website lists open apartments for those of all budgets, including options for groups looking for entire houses and small student villas. Flatmates.com.au also has some valuable articles on the differences in what one can get on a certain budget between cities in Australia.
Once accommodation is sorted, Perth presents itself as one of the best cities in the region for student life. With a host of day trips from the state capital, a lively sporting scene, and some excellent nightlife options tailored specifically to students, there is always something exciting going on in arguably the most youthful city in Australia.
Officially opened in 2018, Perth’s new Optus Stadium hosts two Australian Football League (AFL) teams and is establishing itself as a premier entertainment venue, hosting artists such as American country-pop star Taylor Swift, and renowned rock band Metallica. The multi-purpose facility is the sporting pride of Western Australia and will continue to regularly draw big acts to the city in upcoming years.
Billed as ‘the sunniest city in Australia’, pristine beaches on the Indian Ocean are never far away from anywhere in the city. Day trips to the beach are an affordable student activity (some sun screen and a couple of cool beverages will do the trick) and are a perfect way to relax after an exam or during a day off from class.
Undertaking a post-secondary education in Perth is a decision that will be rewarded with new friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Don’t miss out on a chance to study in one of the most student friendly cities in the world.
