What is the cheapest city in Australia for students?

Typical prices (approximate): Adelaide: $230–$300 USD · Hobart: $240–$310 USD · Gold Coast: $250–$320 USD · Brisbane: $270–$360 USD

If you mean major Australian cities, Adelaide is commonly considered one of the cheapest for students, with Hobart often close behind. If you include smaller regional cities, some may be even cheaper depending on rent and lifestyle costs.

For most students, rent is the biggest factor, and Adelaide is often a strong budget choice because it’s generally less expensive than Sydney or Melbourne and has a good public transport network. Exact costs can change with the housing market, so it’s worth checking current rental listings and student accommodation prices before deciding.
