living of any city in the world, yet is one of the
least expensive.

that you inspect the accommodation carefully and meet future
housemates before paying money or agreeing to lease.
Private rental

please ensure that you arrange temporary accommodation
before arriving in Adelaide. Plan to arrive two weeks before
the start of your program to allow enough time to select
accommodation and get settled.
