Student accommodation for university students

Sta.Res helps university students compare student accommodation, off-campus housing, residence and room options, then submit an enquiry for placement support.

Off-campus accommodation

Off-campus accommodation gives students an alternative to university residences — private rooms, shared houses and managed properties near campus that are rented directly rather than allocated by the institution. Sta.Res lists off-campus accommodation options so students can compare location, room type and price before enquiring.

Student housing and residences

Whether you're looking for a private residence-style building or a shared house close to campus, Sta.Res brings together student housing options with verified listing details — including room type, distance from campus, amenities and availability — so you can shortlist accommodation that actually fits your course, campus and daily routine.

Affordable options

Budget is usually the first filter students apply. Sta.Res listings show the monthly price for each room upfront, and you can filter by room type and specification (such as female-only or shared) to find accommodation that fits your budget. If you're weighing up cost against location or room type, it's worth enquiring on a few options — pricing can vary by term length, room sharing and included amenities, and the placement team can help you compare what's actually included before you commit.

Sta.Res lists a range of room types to match different budgets and preferences.

StudioA self-contained private room
