Please can anybody help a indian student (Holmes) to get accomaodation in Melbourne, Australia after 15 may?

Answer 1

G'day,

In regards to accommodation, it is best to speak with the accommodation staff from Holmes college. They will be able to help you with a temporary accommodation or homestay if you want to. If you prefer to share accommodation, then best to get a temporary accommodation, then when you arrive, check the notice boards in campus or the real-estate websites. As Holmes College in located right in the city, accommodation will be quite expensive though.

I am also listing some accommodation that may be of interest to you:

Answer 2

Your best bet is to contact the College or University and ask for HomeStay services which cost around A$225 per week including breakfast and dinner.

During you first 2-4 weeks then ask other students to find you a room sharing, for around A$70 to A$100 per week.

If you get stuck you can always sleep in a hostel which you can find here:http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com.au/Australia/Melbourne/
