Hi everyone,

I’m an international student from India and will be joining Griffith University (Gold Coast campus) for my Master’s program at the end of June.

I’m currently looking for accommodation with a budget of around AUD 250–300 per week and won’t have a car initially. I’d really appreciate advice on:

• Best suburbs or areas to live in near the campus
• Student accommodation vs shared housing recommendations
• Areas with good public transport access
• Places where students commonly find part-time jobs
• Any tips for settling in during the first few weeks

If you’re a current Griffith student or have lived on the Gold Coast, I’d love to hear about your experience and recommendations.

Thanks in advance for your help!
