If getting to work or uni or college ends up being a threehour trip one way there’s not going to be any time for parties or beach walks. And transport is just one thing to consider when you are thinking about which suburb to choose.
Others could be proximity to parks or ovals, nearness to shops and entertainment, safety and the number of rental properties available. Most university cities or uni areas have a lot of nearby accommodation aimed at students.
These areas usually have great public transport. If you work, check out the areas close to your workplace. Even if you aren’t at university or college, one great reason for choosing a university suburb is the high demand for rentals, which means you should be able to find someone to share pretty easily. Also, if you do have to break your lease for any reason, in a highdemand area you stand a greater chance of beating any penalties that might arise out of breaking it because the owner or agent should be able to rent it again quickly.
Quite often you will have to make a trade-off between the convenience or desirability of a particular suburb and the quality of the place that you rent. You may need to decide if it is worth living in a shabby flat located in a classy suburb, or whether a comfortable place located in an ordinary suburb better meets your needs.
