Student Accommodation Over 18
Trinity College has close relationships with a number of trusted providers to make selecting safe and convenient accommodation easy.
Finding you the right accommodation
Trinity College works with a number of third parties that provide accommodation for international students. These accommodation providers focus on community engagement, social interaction and safety, and have 24/7 security, on-site student support and integrated technology. The options below are a great stepping stone to prepare students for more independent living options later in their studies. They provide the right level of support for students over 18 years, so students can be independent, yet still have access to staff support and guidance with everyday tasks like cooking and shopping if needed. The below accommodation options are tailored to international students, so are also a great place to make friends.
What's included?
Our approved student accommodation is within walking distance from Trinity College and the University of Melbourne and includes fully furnished rooms and apartments with high-quality fixtures and fittings. Rent is all-inclusive for your convenience and covers electricity, water, contents insurance, fast and reliable Wi-Fi, a coin-operated laundry, secure bike storage, and communal spaces such as gyms, games areas, group study rooms, big-screen TV areas and barbecue areas.
Some accommodation providers have cafes on-site and/or provide free breakfast and other meals throughout the week. There are also self-catered options, and we recommend students have some basic cooking skills before arriving.
Lease terms
Students usually need to commit to staying in their accommodation for at least 6 or 12 months under a lease agreement or contract. If they vacate before the end of the lease/contract period, they may be required to continue paying the rent for the duration of the original lease/contract. As per the Residential Tenancies (Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2018) Transitional Regulations 2021 (Victoria), penalties apply to breaking a lease/ contract. These penalties should be discussed with the accommodation provider prior to accepting or signing a new lease/contract.
