Student Accommodation Canberra

Canberra has numerous forms of student accommodations that come with amazing facilities. The following are some of the popular types, among which you can choose.

On-Campus Accommodations

On-campus accommodations refer to the accommodations that are provided by universities and colleges and are most often found within the campuses of the universities. The halls of residences can also be referred to as these accommodations, and when staying in these accommodations, you have a great sense of community. In such accommodations, you can find amenities like fridges, televisions, and Wi-Fi, among others. Other than that, students have access to other facilities of the university or college, like gyms, sports courts and grounds, libraries, and a lot more.

PBSA Complexes

The ideal alternatives to on-campus accommodation are Purpose-Built Student Accommodations or PBSAs. In the PBSA properties, students will enjoy a good variety of study and recreational facilities. The complexes have study areas, gyms, cinemas, swimming pools, sports courts, broadband and Wi-Fi internet connectivity, study desks and chairs, televisions, refrigerators, shelves, storage areas, cooktops, microwaves, and many more facilities that are available in the complexes, as well as available in the rooms.

Students choosing PBSA complexes find varying forms of accommodation variants. The following are some of the forms that you can encounter on PBSA complexes:

• Ensuite and Non-Ensuite Rooms

Ensuite rooms and non-ensuite rooms provide students with their own rooms, and each room is inhabited by a single resident. The students in ensuite rooms have ensuite bathrooms, whereas those in non-ensuite rooms do not have an attached bathroom and are required to use the common bathrooms of larger units. Both of these cases involve kitchens and lounges.

• Shared Rooms

The students who wish to live with the company of other students are welcome to use shared rooms. Such rooms can accommodate two or more residents, depending on the size of the room. Quite obviously, everything is shared in such types of rooms like bathrooms, kitchens, and lounges.

• Apartments

Apartments offer bedrooms to students, and each bedroom may either have an ensuite bathroom, or students may need to use the shared bathroom of the apartment. All residents of an apartment will have common lounges and kitchens. An apartment can have a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, or the students can share common bathrooms.

• Studios

Studios are independent entities that provide a vast area to students with a living area, open kitchen area, sleep area, study area, and so on. The studios have bathrooms that are en-suite. Single-occupancy/two-person studios are available in Canberra, and some of the studios feature both.

Private Rental Apartments

Both complexes are absent in the case of private rental apartments, which are available in residential and other neighborhoods. The difference is that with these apartments, you can live according to your own rules, unlike the other forms in which you would have to abide by the rules that universities or other authorities teach you. You may rent a room in such an apartment, or you may rent an entire apartment.

Homestays

It is also possible to rent a room in a household in Canberra. In Canberra, there are certain households that offer rooms to students in their houses. These homestays are among the lowest-priced housing options for international students. The students also have a chance to experience the life of a family in Canberra by living in these homestays, and thus they have a fabulous opportunity to know the culture of Canberra by observing the family life.
