  • Top Perth universities and campus links

    Perth hosts thousands of local and international students each academic year. When choosing where to live, prioritise a walking-distance or single-transfer commute to your specific university department, this saves 60 to 90 minutes a day of travel time.

    Each Perth property page shows the nearest universities and the typical commute by public transport. If you know which Australia university you are attending, filter for properties within a 20 minute journey to make the shortlist manageable.

  • Best areas for students in Perth

    The best areas for students in Perth share three qualities: they are close to at least one major university, they have direct public transport into the city centre, and they have enough shops, cafes, and supermarkets to be practical for daily life.

    As a general rule, neighbourhoods with a high student population feel safer at night, offer part-time job opportunities in cafes and bars, and give you a built-in social scene. Ask your university's welfare office where most first-year international students live, this is usually the safest starting point for your Perth accommodation search.

  • Cost of living for students in Perth

    The cost of student accommodation in Perth typically starts from A$278/week, and rent is usually the single biggest line item in a student's budget. Beyond rent, students in Perth typically budget for groceries, public transport, mobile data, and social spending.

    If Perth rents feel steep, it can be worth comparing with cities like Melbourne and Sydney: the same weekly budget often stretches further, and some Australia universities have satellite campuses across multiple cities.
