Living costs

An international single student living in Sydney requires approximately AU$15,000-$20,000 for living expenses each year (this figure does not include tuition fees).

This will normally cover:

  • Accommodation
  • Transport
  • Entertainment
  • Food
  • Clothing
  • Text books

Remember that your cost of living in Sydney will vary according to your lifestyle. For example, eating out at restaurants all the time will increase your living costs a lot, as will driving a car (you will have to pay for petrol, registration, maintenance and insurance, as well as the car itself). However, there are many ways to save money in Sydney, and still be able to make the most of your time living there.
