And a PHD course no less ! $1000 per month - assuming you get at least one other person to share with - is more than enough to get good accomodation in the area. Inner city typically means not more than a few kms either side of the CBD area. Nothern suburbs then to be a bit rougher so I would avoid it if you are concious about safety. Brunswick would be the furthest I would go. You can always decide for yourself when you get here but I wouldn't recommend it for a first timer. Eastern suburbs are the most affluent areas so you will get less for your rental. Its also further away from your Uni. For you, I would actually recommend Inner City Melbourne. A lot of students stay in the CBD area and surrounds as there are lots of modern new apartments being built in the past 5 years or so. Also, Southbank would be another convenient option for you. Go to my facebook page and post a map or a specific street that you want me to comment on. More than happy to help. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Melbourne-Ahoy-A-Guide-To-Moving-To-Melbourne-Australia/247735771933807Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916137387672355916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578991750009624447.post-33718678748707536132014-02-06T17:59:29.461-08:002014-02-06T17:59:29.461-08:00Hi..i need some guidance and hope that you would b...Hi..i need some guidance and hope that you would be able to help me out. I recently got admitted as a PhD student to the university of Melbourne. I am looking for places to live as the residential colleges of the university are too expensive and would be hard for me to afford. Therefore, I am looking for a good place to live that is safe, offers decent amenities and is close to the University (parkville in particular), transport facilities and shopping areas. I know that it's a lot to ask but I am hoping to find some place decent to live in a shared apartment/house. I don't want to compromise on safety and also proximity to the uni and i can't seem to understand the layout of the neighbouring suburbs on maps so that I can do an effective search. Can you please help me out as to which areas should i target for my search and which to avoid?? Also on many websites, they mention areas like inner city, northern and eastern suburbs etc instead of naming them which again is hard for a non native to understand..My budget for accommodation is around a $1000 per month.. any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.. <br />regards <br />lylah Lylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740412122523303882noreply@blogger.com
