Student life for sale

Overheard conversation – outside the new development in Orr St, Carlton

“It’s a long haul from the old days of student share houses. The places might have been falling down and the furniture often gleaned from the streets but at least they had charm and there was plenty of space to party.

Now they stack them into shiny new developments and charge exhorbitant rent for a single room no bigger than a car space. It’s hard to imagine how those overseas students really enjoy themselves here. see www.transnationalandtemporary.com.au

As for local students, most them don’t move out of home because they can’t afford the rent.”

    You’re doing some beautiful colour combinations Julie. I’ve been out of the country for a while, so I’ve missed what you’ve been up to. Great!!
