Moving Out Of Home? Here’s Why Student Accommodation Is Your Best Option

Live your best student life.

This article is presented in partnership with Campus Melbourne.

Whether you’re ready for some independence, are moving to a new city or want to live up your student lifestyle, you might be considering moving out of your parent’s place.

It’s not easy making a move. There’s a lot involved—saving up rent, getting your bills sorted, suddenly having to fill the fridge yourself (and not just get takeaway every night) …

That’s why student accommodation is a really great option. It cuts out a lot of the stress of moving into an apartment or share house and comes with some huge perks.

Student accommodation = student prices.

If you’re based in a major city like Melbourne, renting isn’t the healthiest thing for your bank account.

But student accommodation generally has affordable and flexible prices depending on what you’re looking for.

Campus Melbourne has "Studio" and "Studio Deluxe" options, so you can pick a room that’s perfect for your budget. They’re generously sized, private rooms with TV’s, storage space, and all bills accounted for—so you don’t have to worry about any added costs.

Plus, the price tag comes with a whole lot more than just the room.

Food, a pool, a gym—everything is at your doorstep.

Remember when we said you’ll have to stock your own fridge?

Wrong. If you move into Campus Melbourne, for example, you have easy access to an in-house restaurant - The Yard Eatery & Swim Club.

Plus, you can cancel your gym membership. Campus Melbourne has a residents-only fitness studio, basketball court and heated swimming pool.

Honestly, what more could you want or need?

You won’t ever be lonely!

One of the shocks of moving out for the first time, especially if you have your own place, is suddenly not having your parents or siblings around (however annoying they can be).

Living in student accommodation has a huge perk in that there are always people around. There’s often a lot of social events, too, and common spaces where you can hang out and study together.

Campus Melbourne has 3300sqm of common areas, including a co-working space with high speed Wi-Fi and 4 meeting rooms for you to work on group projects.

And if you want some alone time, that’s always possible, too! It’s the perfect mix for introverts and extraverts alike.
