AUSTRALIA FOREIGN STUDENTS LOOKING TO STAY IN RENTED ACCOMMODATION THEN READ THE GUIDELINES HOW YOU CAN FIND THE SAME STEP BY BY STEP HELP IN THE COUNTRY 16TH JANUARY 2014 One of the hardest things about leaving home for the first time is getting used to the extra costs - especially for those not lucky enough to have qualified for a scholarship or government subsidies, Ram said. With accommodation costs being one of the major expenses for a student, many will go to extreme lengths to stay on budget. Property Observer decided to put this to the test.
