I advise everyone not to be deceived when searching for houses in Melbourne.

What about laundry cards and airport shuttle services? They are temporary and laundry expenses are not significant. The key is the condition of the apartment itself. In terms of location, facilities, and layout, there may not be much difference for students. The key is to find an apartment that suits oneself. Here are some methods: ✅ Let's talk about commuting, not just location! Commuting is important! The universities in Melbourne are not far from each other, but being close to the school doesn't necessarily mean a good location. Short commuting time can truly enhance the sense of happiness. For example, 800 meters to the University of Melbourne and 120 meters to RMIT. That kind of distance is ideal. ✅ Then, let's consider the room layout, not just the facilities! The facilities in student apartments may not differ much, but the experience depends on the layout. For example, if the bed is positioned correctly in relation to the window, it's worth considering because it can prevent catching a cold. Or whether the room has a complicated layout... you know what I mean. The layout shown in the picture is quite good. Although it's a small unit, it looks comfortable. ✅ There are also differences between rooms, not just layouts! Even if it's the same studio layout, a standard studio without a window is $60 cheaper per week compared to a pre studio. If you were in that situation, which one would you choose? The same layout can have different prices for different rooms, so it's important to understand where the price difference lies in order to choose a room with good value for money. ✅ Discounts. If there are any discounts available, it's like icing on the cake. For example, getting a $100 laundry card or an airport shuttle service. A comfortable room with additional benefits is what makes living there enjoyable. - The Franklin student apartments mentioned above still have rooms available for rent. Feel free to ask.
