Notre Dame is informed of available houses for rent in the City of Sydney district by local real estate agents or individual owners. Furnished, partially furnished, or unfurnished rental units are available. Rent must be paid in advance, as well as a security deposit equal to one month's rent.

Many students opt to live in a shared house or apartment with their peers. They post notices on student bulletin boards or through the Student Services Office. This arrangement entails having your own bedroom, as well as sharing public areas (kitchen, laundry, living room, and bathroom), as well as housekeeping chores. Share housing can provide low-cost housing, the ability to split expenditures, and the potential to form connections and a social network.

I was looking for a new university to study abroad in, and quickly identified Notre Dame as one of those. I had no doubts, and ultimately applied for the RSPO program to learn about the student experience. Right from the start, Notre Dame Australia has been an impressive community of friendly people with great infrastructure (I've never seen such quality accommodation), affordable tuition fees
