Living the student housing life is an exciting time. However, it’s crucial that you live in a comfortable space that doesn’t cost a fortune! Between juggling moving out of home, learning how to budget, and of course, studying, it can be overwhelming. Luckily, The Switch is an all-inclusive student home, offering a fantastic option for students looking for comfortable and stylish housing, that also offers transparency of spendings.

Your first home away from home
The Switch is everything you have been longing for in housing and accommodation for quite some time! With locations in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, we are an ideal choice for students, both local and international. It’s described as a unique living experience, and for good reason. The Switch houses like-minded young adults in similar situations, perfect for those moving out of home or to a new city for the first time.
Why transparency of costs is important
We take pride in knowing our accommodation and facilities are the ideal combination of affordability, flexibility, privacy, and community. Unlike other student housing accommodations, we are completely transparent about costs. We believe it’s important for students to have the peace of mind that there won’t be any hidden charges at the end of the month. This makes it so much easier for budgeting reasons, with you having only one cost for rent, and nothing else sprung upon you during your stay.
What’s included?
The Switch is super unique in its accommodation, with stylish facilities at your disposal. All of the rooms at The Switch are modern yet cozy. You have the option to live on your own, with someone else, or in shared accommodation.
Rooms
The first thing you will notice is that everything is completely set up and furnished before you arrive! Half the stress of moving is buying and assembling furniture, so having this all provided for you is a major plus. The only thing you have to bring is bedding and your kitchen utensils, which – now be honest – won’t be much more more than a coffee mug, a bowl and some cutlery and chopsticks for your instant noodle soups 😉 Find your furnished accommodation checklist here!

Facilities
We also have an on-site gym with state-of-the-art training equipment and qualified trainers. The building has advanced security measures, all services are accessible via our app. And of course we have lovely, attentive staff in every building!
Some of our services are very typical for co-living accommodations, but some are very unique to The Switch. This includes The Honesty Kitchen – an in-house shop concept, that offers pantry items, food and drinks to our residents 24/7.

Community is key
Stepping out of your comfort zone is the most rewarding thing you can do as a young adult, and moving overseas, interstate, or out of home to study is definitely one way to do it.
The Switch embodies this notion, encouraging you to study, work, and cook alongside each other while sharing this unique student accommodation experience. Free events and games, like pool billiards, table tennis, and arcade games, are often hosted, as well as rooftop BBQ areas available for you to meet new friends – it is the essence and the soul of our all-inclusive student home.
Immersing yourself in the local music, art, and activity scene is also a core focus of The Switch. Festivals, road trips, sports, and cultural attractions are always encouraged and can be organised through our partners. This offers you so many fantastic opportunities to see parts of the city you might not have, as well as become engaged in the local culture.
