Student Accommodation Adelaide

Accommodations of different types are found for students in Adelaide. These are some of the common ones that you can access, provided you are studying at the University of Adelaide or any other university or learning institution in Adelaide.

Campus Residences

In case students are ready to live close to the university, campus residences are the most appropriate choice. These homes offer some good facilities to students staying in them. The residences have Wi-Fi internet connections, study areas, laundry services and many other facilities. Additionally, students staying in campus halls have unlimited access to the university amenities, including libraries, gymnasiums, sports courts, among others.

Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)

Another option besides the campus residence is purpose-built student accommodation. Its accommodation is frequently referred to as its acronym of PBSA and is privately owned. The housing properties have various forms of accommodation. A large variety of amenities are available in the complexes of the PBSA properties and in the accommodation units, but depending on the property, amenities might also differ. So, you must verify what property contains the amenities that you are interested in. A few of the commonly used facilities that you can encounter are Wi-Fi, study desks and chairs, study areas or rooms, cinemas, games rooms, sports courts, security facilities, and many more.

Students in PBSA properties are provided with various types of accommodations that they get to select. The following are some of the popular types.

• Rooms

There are various kinds of rooms that students having various preferences can have. In case you happen to be of the type who prefers his/her own privacy, then you can opt to get non-ensuite or ensuite rooms. Both rooms are provided with a personal space. The difference is that the ensuite rooms are provided with a personal bathroom that is attached to the room, and non-en-suite rooms do not have an attached bathroom. The occupants of non-ensuite rooms have to utilize the common bathrooms within the larger unit that houses the rooms.

There are also other forms of rooms, such as shared rooms, which are offered to students who prefer the company of other students. These rooms have two or more students sharing them. The shared bathrooms are provided to all the students, though bathrooms can be attached to the rooms.

Typically, facilities such as the lounge and kitchen are shared in the case of both of these rooms.

• Studios

The studios are independent entities and provide spacious areas to one or two students. Studios are available on a single occupancy basis, double occupancy basis and in numerous cases, both. All studios in Adelaide are connected to the bathrooms. At studios, you have a study space with a study desk and chair, sleeping space, a bed, living space, a kitchen space and so on in one big room.

• Apartments

The apartments are available with one or more bedrooms, and one bedroom can house one or two students. Bathrooms are available, or you might have to resort to the common bathrooms of the apartments. The presence of lounges and kitchens is typical, and all residents use them in sharing.

Private Rental Apartments

The above-mentioned student apartments are not the same as the private rental apartments that are not housed within the PBSA properties. They are available in other parts of Adelaide and surrounding areas. There are no rules associated with these apartments compared to other forms of accommodations, and you can create your own rules. The one and only rule that you might require to follow is the maintenance of the apartments. There are certain basic facilities, such as kitchen appliances, Wi-Fi, and so on, in such apartments.

Homestays

Adelaide has some households that can have rooms in their houses where students can be accommodated at a cheaper cost. With such homestays, you can possibly have an opportunity to live with a family. Thus, you also get an opportunity to live with an Australian family and experience their everyday life, so you get a golden opportunity to immerse yourself in the Australian culture of Adelaide.
