I'm in Adelaide. Rental depends on the location. In the city it could cost you from $130 to $190 per week, excluding bills. In the suburbs, about $80 to $120 depending on how far away from city. A lunch averages about $5 to $8. Dinner would cost more. Best is to do your own cooking if you wanna save. Overall living cost in Adelaide is lower compared to bigger cities like Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane.
Is the rental mentioned in your post for room or whole apartment/flat? If I wish to bring my family there and would like to rent an apartment or flat or house (1 room + 1 kitchen), how much would be the rental?

By the way, which field are you in?

Thanks.

The rental is for 1 room. For one whole unit, you can check the rental here http://www.realestate.com.au/

I was an engineering student. Just graduated.  biggrin.gif
I was told that there is another type of accomodation called 'studio' (no separate room, but with kitchen). Do you know how much the rental for such unit?

By the way, which field of engineering are you in?

Thanks

Warmest regards

Do you have friend in E&E department? I would like to know the characters of Dr Wen Soong. Could you please help?

By the way, is it easy to find a 'studio' to stay?

Warmest regards

Dr Wen Soong? ahh everyone in the school of EE knows Wen Soong is a very nice lecturer. He didn't teach me though but I approaced him before regarding work experience. He is a really really nice guy. He had just returned after a year long study leave and everyone is happy to see him back in the department again.

Studios are usually in the city center. They are not very popular among students because of the layout. I am not quite sure how many of these are there in the city. You can check out www.realestate.com.au

Did you mean how long it takes for the visa to be granted? As far as I could remember, it took about 1 to 2 months or so.

Wow... he's so nice ah...
By the way, do you know where he went for his sabatical (study) leave? Would you please help me to find it out? Thanks.

Do you know whether he's married already or not? As I'm going to work under him for my postgraduate study, it's important to find it out whether he has any intention to leave the university or not. You know lar, half way supervisor cabut is terrible sometimes... If he's married and settled down in Adelaide already, then the possibility to leave is low.
