Private Student Accommodation Private Student Living Done Right

Where you live shapes how you study, who you meet, and how you feel. Private student accommodation is designed to support daily life with fully furnished rooms, onsite support, and spaces for study, rest, and connection. Unlike regular rentals, it brings everything into one place so students can live with fewer distractions.

More students are choosing this option because it fits better with what uni life demands. It’s safer, easier to manage, and offers a better mix of comfort and routine.

As a leading accommodation provider in Australia, Journal creates spaces with real student needs in mind. We offer purpose-built student accommodation in locations that support study, routine, and connection from day one.
