I want to move out as soon as I finish HSC / enter university. What should I do? (2 Viewers)

What year do you graduate

Also, I'd like to be able to live... Well, not any further west than St Mary's perhaps, because I'll reach a point where transport to uni will also become an unrealistic fee.

i graduate this year and i live in the further southwest of Sydney, as long as ur near a station that gets to the city u should be fine i think concession cards might exist for uni students? not sure but if sydney is too expensive (which it is) if possible move to another state such as adelaide or perth which are much cheaper and education wise they alright

DO NOT MOVE TO PERTH! Especially as someone who just graduated from high school, the renting crisis there is absolutely not good for you. The rent may be cheaper then sydney but the salary you get won't correlate well with rent.

Australia's most unaffordable city for renters might surprise you

Spiralling rents have priced out even average income households from at least half the postcodes in three capital cities and one regional area, according to an ABC analysis of exclusive figures covering thousands of neighbourhoods across the country.

lowk not hard to find a shit hole just for yourself (no roommate) everything included to live in for like 350 pw. If ur primary goal is to get away the living conditions should be irrelevant + 350$ for rent is easily achievable as uni student with the help from the government thing --> however this does mean you can't spend 14$ on a vodka redbull on a friday night out.

I'm worried about moving my things too. I have a lot of things I am (regretfully) attached to which I'd rather not have them throw out or burn as soon as I leave. Of course, I'd need my clothing and documents (passport, birth certificate, etc.).
I think most ways of moving items are self explanatory (keep it at a friends house, drive it in a car...) But if anyone has any suggestions?

It may be around. Hm. Four 50L containers worth of things IN MY DEFENNSEE I have a lot of textiles and fabrics I've paid GOOD MONEY FOR which is about 2 containers. Ohh I'm rambling. I am so worried...

I know this is extremely unrealistic but I'm. Desperate to and I'd like any advice I can get, in case anyone is in a similar situation or knows someone who is.

you want to move out and do uni. if you're on track to a decently good atar (75+) would you consider going to ADFA? then again, that's a whole new topic.

its doable but miserable, i wouldn't recommend it unless you have absolutely no choice, assuming you mean with no financial or parental support. centrelink and 2 jobs got me over the line but i couldn't afford to go out or spend money on anything but basic necessities. there's no way you can afford your own place, uni accomodation is probably more expensive than a sharehouse or roommate and you get to live in a shoebox. you basically need to be ready to make immense sacrifices and dig yourself into a hole you won't be getting out of anytime soon.

pack essentials bring what you can but ultimately you will have to sacrifice it. u could drop stuff off slowly to a friends place overtime or hire a locker to leave stuff in.
