There is no better way to be a part of university life
than to live on the university grounds.
Flinders is the only South Australian university with
on-campus accommodation in the Adelaide metropolitan
area, and you have two options:
Both offer high quality facilities and the chance to
have some serious fun.
If you'd prefer to live off campus, Flinders Housing
can help there too. It runs a free, up-to-date
Accommodation Service to show you what's available on
the rental market and provide advice on your rights and
responsibilities.
If you're about to come to Adelaide to commence your
studies, you may also want to make use of the Temporary
Accommodation Information.
The International Student Services Unit at Flinders
has additional accommodation information for
International Students.
University Hall
Entering University for the first time can be
daunting. University Hall provides a safe, supportive
and friendly multi-cultural community that is rich in
academic and personal support. Its position on campus
means that it is convenient to the full range of
University academic, sporting and social activities. The
Hall accommodates 232 students, each with their own
fully furnished bed/study room complete with a direct
dial telephone and data line for Internet access for
those with their own computers.
The cost of accommodation for 2006 is $200.00 per week
(usually payable in a lump sum at the beginning of each
term). This cost includes fifteen meals per week
provided by a professional catering firm and all
electricity and water costs. Late meals and some special
diets can be catered for. Communal kitchenettes are
available where residents may prepare snacks and weekend
meals. Unisex bathrooms are shared with several other
residents. There are also a number of in-house tutors
who are available for help with a range of issues of
either academic or personal nature.
The Hall is well equipped with common areas that
include the communal dining room, the television and
common room, the attractively furnished 'Abbey' lounge
and the versatile Ballroom. In addition there is a
communal computer laboratory, a small library, a music
room, an art room and a tennis/basketball court. Student
BBQs and social functions are also held in the grassed
central courtyard that also boasts an outdoor cinema
screen, the unit gardens and under the modern gazebos.
Parking is available in a secured car park located next
to the Hall. A regular bus service takes residents to
the local shopping precinct, the beach and to Adelaide's
CBD.
All residents are provided with a copy of the
Flinders University Hall Handbook on arrival. This
handbook forms part of a resident's residential contract
and outlines the Rules & Conditions Governing Residency
in greater detail than in the contract. Residents should
refer to the Handbook for all policies and guidelines
concerning University Hall. It will be assumed that all
of the information contained in the Handbook is known
and understood by all Members of the Hall. Prospective
residents are encouraged to read through the Handbook
prior to applying for a place in the Hall.
Deirdre Jordan Village
Adjacent to the Hall and overlooking the attractive
Adelaide cityscape is the self-catered Deirdre Jordan
Village. The Village complex provides students with
safe, secure and affordable self-catered accommodation
with the convenience of on-campus living. The first 2-
and 3-bedroom townhouses were built in 1985, with
subsequent stages being built throughout the following
18 years, culminating in 2003 with the construction of
40 new units in five-bedroom state of the art
apartments, creating a self-catered Village complex of
311 beds on campus.
The cost of accommodation for 2006 is $130.00 per
week for a Village Unit and $116.00 per week for a
Village Townhouse, which includes all utilities.
Each of the units contains a common living/dining
area, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom & toilet
facilities, secure storage space for each resident, very
generous desks, study chairs and a single bed in
bedrooms as well as individual telephones and data
connections. All new units have airconditioning in the
common areas. Five units are equipped with disabled
access facilties. The upper level units each have a
balcony with a view while the lower level units have a
shaded outdoor patio area.
Each of the 2- and 3-bedroom townhouses contains a
common living area, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom &
toilet facilties, secure storage space, desks and study
chairs and a single bed in bedrooms as well as

The Deirdre Jordan Village includes a community
centre (with a large Common Room, seminar rooms, a cafe,
music room and a quiet room), centralised laundries and
outdoor recreational and barbeque areas.
Specific townhouses or units are available for
postgraduate and more senior students or for
undergraduate younger students requiring single sex
units due to cultural or religious requirements.

Jordan Village Handbook on arrival. This handbook forms
part of a resident's residential contract and outlines
the Rules & Conditions Governing Residency in greater
detail than in the contract. Residents should refer to
