Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Living on Campus was great but if I were going back I would look for a flat/house in Carlton (University District of Melbourne)
Personal comments:
During the first semester I lived in Menzies College close to the campus centre. It was very easy to meet people and build a social network. However, the noise level - especially at night - and the cleanliness were disappointing. This was the reason why I moved to Graduate House at the beginning of the second semester. The rating above applies to graduate house which I can recommend highly. Living on campus is very convenient but it has its price.

Share accomodation with minimum 2-3 people and car definitely needed since the city is huge. Rest is easy.
