Even with a tight budget, you can afford to live in Meowben's 1B.

Hey ladies, a 1-bedroom apartment is so much better than a studio! Firstly, the bedroom and kitchen are separate, so you don't have to worry about cooking smells in the bedroom at all. Secondly, it has a much larger area, with a living room and balcony. When you really calculate it, the living space is almost bigger than two studios combined. Lastly, it can accommodate two people, so couples can live together for only 300pw per person. The location is also pretty good: 1.6 km from Monash University 1.1 km from RMIT University
