Campus House Standard Studio

Journal ranks rooms by classes based on overall view and outlook.

Depending on the room type, Journal offers three classes for students to choose from. Classes with a superior outlook attract an additional fee on top of the base weekly room rate.

Standard Studio Room Classes:

Regular: Rooms located with a courtyard or restricted lower level view

View: Rooms located with an extended view across the surrounding area, the city, or the university precinct.

The Standard Studio has double bed, dimensions 137cm wide and 188cm long.

The room has at least one large openable window. Premium View (and some View) rooms have multiple windows.

The air conditioning can be controlled in-room within a range appropriate for the season.

The bed is fitted with an easy-lifting mechanism which provides large storage for big items like luggage, boxes and other oversized items.

The bedroom is fitted with built-in robe, drawers, shelf and large cupboards. The kitchen has lots of cupboards and drawers for food storage as well.

Room features and sizes vary slightly based on the position in the building. Images are indicative of room types and features.

The lease start and end dates are set and are aligned to the university calendar as best as possible considering all universities and colleges intake dates.

We offer Semester (equivalent to a half full calendar year) or Full Year lease (equivalent to a full calendar year), depending on your preference.

There is an extra $40 rent per week if you choose a Semester lease as opposed to a Full Year lease.

We are an all-inclusive property; your rent includes all utilities, unlimited high-speed internet, full access to common areas and participation in our famous events and activities program, Journal Life.

Your room will be fully furnished, including essential kitchen appliances and furniture. However, you will need to bring your own utensils, kitchenware, and bedding. Alternatively, you can purchase our kitchen and linen pack, which will be ready for you upon arrival. These items can be purchased via our resident portal, once your booking is completed.

If you have any specific requests regarding room number, floor, or orientation, please let us know when you make the booking. We will try our best to accommodate your request.

Yes, it’s your home so you can have guests staying over occasionally. All overnight guests should only stay in your own room. We would ask you to respect your fellow residents and let your flatmates know as well as sign in your guest at reception.  You are responsible for the behaviour of any guests you bring to Journal. The Journal Portal provides more information.

Yes, you can move in later than your start date. Please notify us of your new arrival date. Please note, you are still obliged to pay the rent from the contract start date, even if you arrive late.

Room moves may be possible, subject to availability. We recommend mentioning any specific requests at the time of booking so we can better accommodate your needs. Please note that room changes may incur administrative and cleaning fees. For further details, please contact reception.

You can set up a direct debit with us, allowing us to take the payment directly from your bank account without any hassle or surcharges. Alternatively, you can pay via the resident portal.

Our credit card surcharge is 1.85%. Most residents pay their rent with direct debit, which does not incur any surcharges.

The rent is paid once every two weeks.

The bond is equivalent to 4 weeks’ rent, and you need to pay the bond before your arrival.

During the booking process, our portal will direct you to a payment page where you will be presented with the payment due dates and amounts. The costs vary depending on the lease length and room type you have chosen.

The prices shown are per person per week, and they include all utilities and unlimited high-speed internet, full access to all the facilities, common areas and participation in the Journal life program.

We consider dual occupancy on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our team to discuss your specific situation, and we will do our best to assist you.

Unfortunately, we do not permit pets including fish, birds, or reptiles. However, we do make exceptions for residents who require the assistance of a trained and registered Service Dog or Assistance Dog.

When you make a booking, please specify who you would like to stay with. For apartments, it depends on the room type, but we will do our best to organise for you to be with friends where possible.

No. If you find yourself needing to move out for any reason, please contact the property team for advice.

Yes, you can send parcels to your Journal building before moving in. However, please note that we have limited space, so please inform us beforehand.

If you need to leave earlier while still under contract, you will need to find another student to take over your tenancy for the remainder of your contract.
Before you can start setting up a tenancy takeover, please contact our reception team and fill in the required forms. If you are unable to find anyone, you must pay any remaining rent you owe.
Once you find a replacement, we will need some details before we can set up a contract. Until the new tenant completes their booking, makes payment, and collects their keys, you will still be liable for all the fees.

Yes, you can stay for the duration of your studies. We will contact you prior to the end of your existing lease to determine if you would like to renew and for how long.

When entering the building there is a turnstile that is only accessible by residents. All door entry points are key fobbed. We have CCTV covering all common areas, our lifts require room key access to enter the levels, and our on-site staff are available at reception or patrolling the building 24 hours a day. Their main focus is to keep residents safe & happy, and the building secure.
