Accommodation Guide

Information on accommodation options is provided to assist students and their families to identify and access  accommodation from a range of options. It is based on information supplied to Trinity by accommodation providers. While Trinity College has made reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is accurate, we make no representation as to the accuracy, currency or completeness of information provided by such sources. Students and their families are responsible for making their own assessment of the information provided and of the suitability of the accommodation. Trinity will not accept any liability that may be incurred by any person acting in reliance upon the information provided.

Accommodation Planning

Satisfactory accommodation is very important for a successful year and students should take care to find accommodation that best suits their needs. While it is the responsibility of students to find accommodation, Trinity College Foundation Studies can provide assistance.

The Accommodation Manager is available for students throughout their time at Trinity College Foundation Studies and can be contacted on tcfs-accommodation@trinity.unimelb.edu.au

Accommodation Choices

Melbourne is a marvellous city offering a broad range of accommodation choices.

Some students may choose to live in a homestay with a family, others may stay with relatives in Melbourne. Many choose to rent a private apartment, furnished student apartment, a house with other students, or stay in a hostel. The different accommodation types vary considerably in style, standard and cost.

Students under the age of 18

We have approved and listed accommodation which we believe provides a higher level of supervision and care for students under 18 years of age by including onsite management and monitoring by way of day to day personal contact. Please see the list on the Request for Accommodation - Form 2.

The four main accommodation choices are:

• Homestay
• Private Apartments - * not usually for students under the age of 18, however, please see notes regarding Under 18 Private Accommodation Approval.
  
• Student Apartments - Furnished
  
• Student Hostels - Furnished

Residence at Trinity College

For students who stay on after Foundation Studies to undertake degree courses at the University of Melbourne, the Residential College - is worth considering as an attractive place to live and study.
