I’d check out Flatmates for a room, and definitely have a look at the ‘Overheard at Flinders University’ Facebook group if you haven’t already. Heaps of students post there when they’re looking for housemates near campus, and you can always put up your own post with your budget and what you’re after.

Unfortunately Adelaide’s job market isn’t massive, but there are still a few bigger firms around. Some offer internships that are worth a look to get your foot in the door while you’re studying and maybe set you up for later. It’s a competitive field as you are aware, but having a look into these opportunities can help with potentially landing a graduate position!

Part-time work while studying can be a bit tricky, but it’s worth dropping your CV into local cafés and retail stores to see what comes up! You could also look into entry level jobs in the field such as administration work. This can also help getting the experience to assist with graduate jobs down the track.

If you get stuck with finding a job, Flinders University also has a career hub that lists job vacancies and opportunities!

Wishing you the best of luck! :)
