Housing notes
UBC students studying at QUT can apply to live in one of three housing options:
- Purpose-built student accommodation
- Student residential apartment buildings offer individual bedrooms with some shared amenities
- Managed share house
- Managed shared houses are usually residential houses which have been converted into separate fully furnished, lockable bedrooms
- Private share house
- This option is similar to a managed share house living arrangement but is more flexible. Private share houses are often prepared to negotiate lease durations (less than six months) and are sometimes even prepared to negotiate weekly rental rates.
