About Perth
Why students choose Perth
Perth is further from any other large city than anywhere else on earth: Adelaide is a four hour flight and Singapore is closer than Sydney. For an international student that is worth knowing before you arrive, because the casual weekend elsewhere that works in Europe does not exist here, and the city you choose is the city you will spend the year in. What Perth gives back is a river, a long run of beaches, and universities that are genuinely spread around both.
Crawley and Nedlands sit around the University of Western Australia on the Swan River, green, established and the most expensive of these. Bentley is built around Curtin's campus in the south east, with much lower rents and a busway station. The central business district holds the towers and most of the purpose-built housing, inside the free transit zone and walkable to the city campuses. Northbridge is immediately north of the centre and is where the bars, the galleries and the late food are. Subiaco and Shenton Park lie between the city and UWA, well served by train. Murdoch and Bull Creek are further south around Murdoch University, and Fremantle at the river mouth is a half hour train and a place people choose for itself.
New to booking student accommodation?
Room types, what bills included really covers, when to book, and what to check if you are arriving from abroad.
Which Perth room type fits your campus?
Managed student apartments cluster around the CBD, Northbridge and major campus routes. Shared apartments and houses can offer more space, while studios provide privacy. UWA, Curtin and ECU campuses point to different parts of the metropolitan area.
Check cooling, furniture, utilities and the exact public-transport journey. Perth's distances are large enough that a cheaper suburb can create a costly daily commute.
What should you confirm before booking in Perth?
MoJO currently lists 10 Perth student stays, with published prices from A$261/week. Compare the complete contract cost, included bills, deposit or bond, payment dates and travel to your exact campus. The headline price alone does not show the full commitment.
Confirm the room category, move-in condition, cancellation terms and guarantor requirements in writing. For a shared home, check the inventory, repairs, liability terms and how any deposit or bond is handled.
Top Perth universities and campus links
Perth's student population is anchored by The University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Murdoch University, and Edith Cowan University. When choosing student accommodation in Perth, most students prioritise the walking-distance or single-transfer commute to their own department, since it saves 60 to 90 minutes a day on lectures, labs, and evening study.
On each Perth property page you will see the exact minute count to nearby universities and whether the campus is served by direct public transport. If you already know your university, filter by it before comparing rooms, it saves a lot of back and forth.
Best areas for students in Perth
The best areas for student accommodation in Perth include Crawley and Nedlands, Perth CBD, Northbridge and Highgate, Subiaco and Shenton Park, and Bentley and Curtin. Each has a distinct mix of student housing, cafes, supermarkets, and public transport connections, so the "best" area really depends on which university you attend and what kind of neighbourhood you want to live in.
If you are new to Perth, aim for neighbourhoods with a high student population and good late-night public transport. Areas near your university's main campus are safest for evening walks home and mean you can lie in for 9 AM lectures.
Cost of living for students in Perth
The cost of student accommodation in Perth typically starts from A$261/week, and rent is usually the single biggest line item in a student's budget. Beyond rent, students in Perth typically budget for groceries, public transport, mobile data, and social spending.
If Perth rents feel steep, it can be worth comparing with cities like Melbourne and Sydney: the same weekly budget often stretches further, and some Australia universities have satellite campuses across multiple cities.

Getting around
Transperth runs trains, buses and ferries on one SmartRider card, and the central Free Transit Zone plus the free CAT buses cover the city centre and Northbridge at no cost. The train lines are the fast way around: Fremantle and Joondalup to the west and north, Mandurah south through Bull Creek for Murdoch, and Thornlie for the Curtin side. UWA is better reached by bus from the city than by train. Perth is flat and the riverside and coastal cycle paths are excellent. Check your own concession eligibility with Transperth rather than assuming it, because the rules differ by visa and enrolment.
Frequently asked questions
- Prices in Perth typically start from A$261/week, depending on room type, location, and how early you book. Purpose-built student rooms with bills included are usually the best value overall, since utilities and WiFi are already priced in.
- For a September move-in, most students book their Perth accommodation between May and August. Booking earlier gives you the widest choice on room type, floor, and price. For January or summer intakes, book two to three months ahead.
- Your contract is signed directly with the accommodation provider, not with HouseForStudents, and we list only recognised student accommodation operators. Listing details for our 10 Perth properties come from the operator's own site and we re-check them regularly, but always confirm the price and the terms in writing with the provider before you pay. Ask the operator specifically whether your contract is a tenancy or a licence, because statutory deposit protection applies to tenancies and most purpose-built student accommodation is let on a licence.
- Purpose-built student accommodation in Perth commonly includes electricity, water, heating, WiFi, and contents insurance in the weekly rate, but the package is set by each operator and is not the same everywhere. Ask the operator exactly what the rent covers, and what is charged on top, before you pay anything.
- Most Perth PBSA properties accept either a UK-based guarantor, an international guarantor, or pay a one-time fee in lieu. If you cannot provide a guarantor, ask our team when you enquire and we will filter for properties that do not require one.
Prices and availability on this page were last checked on . Rooms and rents change often, so confirm both with the operator before you pay anything.
