Where can I find an Asian market in Sydney?

Cost of living in Sydney, Australia. (International Student)?

  • I'm moving to Australia to study and would like to get an idea of how much money I should take for the first month or so. I got into University of Sydney and I'll be living off campus, because it would be cheaper. I'm thinking about renting a studio and buying: 1) a mattress and bed sheets 2) a small fridge and a gas cooker if the studio does not come with them 3) cooking utensils (a pan, a cup, a knife, and a spoon) 4) a bike So basically I'll be going there with a bag full of clothing and buying everything else. Would AU$3,000 be enough for a month assuming I find a studio under AU$200/week? Any link to Australian Super Market would be appreciated.

  • Answer:

    Rent in Sydney is much more than $200 - and with the beginning of the semester you will be competing with LOTS of people and so the price will go up. So if the price is listed as $300 per week it might go for $350. There are people (postgrad students) in my department who have been searching for over 2 months for a place for themselves with no luck (and are willing to travel 60 km). You will also need to pay 6 weeks rent up front (4 weeks being the bond) You would have a better chance with a shared facility. University accommodation is around $400 pr week but that includes all meals and no travel time. Might be a better options at least for the first semester.

Room rental about A$200 per week for a room in a run down area. Try a shared house. Also try to apply for the University's shared accommodations. Food about A$40 per week. You also need soap, washing powder, shampoo, moose, toilet utilities, etc.
