Everything about Student Accommodation Perth

It is also home to four public universities, which attracts thousands of domestic and international students every year, making it difficult to find quality student accommodation in Perth.

What makes Perth unique?

Perth it's is Australia's only precious metals refinery and home to a one-ton gold coin, the largest and most valuable coin in the world.





Student Life in Perth

The rising number of students flying to Perth makes it challenging universities to accommodate them all in the student hall, thereby creating a large demand for private student housing with campus-like facilities. These off-campus alternatives are located within walking distance of the city’s top universities to help residents cut down on both time and money on their daily commute. It’s easy to explore the city via the well-connected public transport system, which includes buses, trains, light rail, and ferries. Most of them can be exclusively accessed by a SmartRider card, which can be purchased at airports, train stations, and at thousands of retail stores across Perth.
