Accommodation in Adelaide
There are several options for housing in Adelaide and Bradford College can help you work out which accommodation will suit you best. Your choice consists of:
- Homestay
- Student Hostels
- University Accommodation
- Independent Rental and Share House Accommodation.
Following in a summary of the different types of accommodation offered - more details can be provided on request.
Homestay
Homestay is the arrangement whereby you stay with a family in their home, living and eating with them. Homestay is therefore your opportunity to have a uniquely Australian experience. As Australia is a multicultural country, homestay can be an opportunity to understand different cultures so that you will develop an appreciation for other ways of living.
The homestay experience is ideal for developing English language skills and assists with your adjustment to Australia by providing a family atmosphere bridging you into Australian society.
Full board homestay accommodation (generally priced at $210 per week) includes:
- A single room with bed, desk, cupboard
- Laundry facilities
- Three meals per day.
Student Hostels
A wide range of student hostels are located around the city. Student hostels offer independence with a student environment where it is easy to make friends. Usually these consist of a fully furnished bed/study room, with access to shared kitchens, bathrooms and other facilities. Most hostels are located within a 30 minute bus ride from the College’s campus.
The price varies depending on the type of room you require ranging from $110 per week for a shared room with no private facilities up to $230 per week for a single room with own bathroom and all meals. You must contact Bradford College’s accommodation manager to secure your hostel accommodation.
University Accommodation
Accommodation is also available to students at the University of Adelaide Village. Applications should be made directly to the University online via www.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation. You will be required to commit to one full year and pay 12 months rent up-front in advance.
Independent Rental Accommodation
Independent accommodation (including shared house accommodation) is an option only open to students over the age of 18. Students will need to find their own property. This option provides you with more independence, privacy and freedom than other forms of accommodation and costs approximately $5,000 - $10,000 per year plus 4 weeks rent for bond. The cost of independent rental does not include meals, gas, water, electricity or other living expenses.
