Other options
Should you wish to find a different place to stay than the three options listed above then you are welcome to do so. Hotels near the University of Sydney typically cost between 150-300AUD per night, while the renting of rooms to full apartments on Airbnb can be done for about half that price. Whatever you choose, we recommend that you book your accommodation as soon as possible as the cheaper options will go away fast.
