Hey guys!
I'm pretty excited because i'm going to study in sydney (University of Technology) soon. However, the university housing offer seems pretty expensive to me, so i thought about looking for a room myself.
Is it unrealistic/naive to think that i will find a room (shared housing/apartment) to rent which does not cost more than $150 a week? (this already seems like a loooot of money to me!! accomodation in Germany, denmark and the us seems to be cheaper than in australia...at least that's the impression i got when i had a look at the "gumtree.au" listings this morning.
Do u think it will take me more than a week to find a room?I know, you cannot give proper answers to these questions, but it would be good to hear about experiences you made !
I need housing from 25th february-15. june...
have u heard of anyone who got room & board in a hostel, in exchange for work? Is it a common practise in sydney?
looking forward to any kind of advice!!have a great day
