Living off campus

Explore everything our city has to offer

Where some students choose to live in on-campus accommodation, others want to immerse themselves in Gold Coast life and find a home off campus. 

Whether you plan on staying for the duration of your studies or want to relocate to our beautiful part of Australia, there’s so much to be discovered when living off campus. 

Maybe you’ll find your own apartment or studio closer to the beach, or rent with some new friends in Varsity Lakes or Robina. There are also homestay options that will make the transition easier, especially for our new international Bondies – the possibilities are endless! 

Let’s explore…

A place of your own...

All about our area

The Gold Coast is friendly, vibrant and bustling with activity, whether you’re at the beach or in the heart of the city. At Bond, we’re lucky enough to be nestled between two residential suburbs that rate highly across the board – Robina and Varsity Lakes. You’ll find a range of affordable property options and experience a short commute to both Bond University and local shops, parks, public transport and amenities. 

Students who choose to live off campus still have unimpeded access to Bond, with bus routes that stop right outside our door, and free, 24-hour parking on campus.
