Overall
I wish I had known...
It is difficult to find a good accomodation. We arranged it already from Austria - which was very good - as it takes quite a long time to do that in Melbourne itself, as there are not a lot of good offers.

Personal comments
I am very glad that I did not chose to live at the housing provided by the university. It was far away from the city center and not very clean. Our housing instead was very clean, located close to the city center and there were a lot of students from different universities and different countries
