1) Well the easiest option is on campus you are going to be very close to the campus that way. What's your budget? Inner city living can be expensive. If you can afford it rentals are relativly easy to get.

2) I am not to sure on this one i am afraid

3) If you want walking distance you really need to go to the Carlton area that has plenty of students who live in the old victorian terrace houses. It has everything you need within walking distance food bars and all the other things plus it is within walking distance of the CBD which means you can go wherever you want.

One other piece of advice you have got to go see a game of A.F.L in your time over here. If people ask say you go for Essendon (the greatest team in exsistance)

As for the Melbourne bashing shame,shame,shame Melbourne is great this time of year the weather is all part of the cities charm.
Thank you for the advice

I quess my budget is A$ 300 p/w for accomodation at most. (given that the exchange rate doesn't skip much above 5 NoK/AUD)
I am thinking of going for one of these:
Swinnerton:http://home.exetel.com.au/denco/STUD...swinnerton.php
or
Balmoral:http://home.exetel.com.au/denco/STUD...e/balmoral.php

Seeing as I need it to be fully furnished, and they seem to be close enough to campus without being too expensive. Swinnerton seems to have the highhest standard of the two and is closer to campus?

And of course I will go see a game.



Oh, and Greg, I will arrive early on the 14th. (Leaving Norway on the 12th...). Guess I was a bit unclear in that post.
