The Bond University Student Services and Amenities Fee is due for payment at the start of each semester with all other fees. Continuing students’ access carries over to the next semester. New students can access facilities and services once they are enrolled for their first semester.

Accommodation and meals
Catering for students who come from all over Australia and all over the world, we offer a range of accommodation and dining options that make it easy to live and study at Bond University. This includes on-campus, off-campus, and home-stay accommodation options.

Textbooks, software and study materials
The cost of books, stationery, software and other resources tend to be the same at most universities. Allow around $300 per semester.
You may also need to consider the cost of hardware like laptops, tablets, or desktop computers.

General living expenses
Other costs to consider as a student include your mobile phone, transport and/or petrol, personal items, social outings, and other miscellaneous living costs. Please note that parking is free on the Bond campus but requires registration to avoid fines.

- Meals: You may wish to take advantage of Bond’s convenient dining plans for on-campus meals and snacks, but you will also need to budget for other meals during the week.
- Utilities: As a tenant, you are responsible for payment of your electricity and/or gas. Some landlords also charge for water.
- Household items: Be sure to budget for your wifi, cleaning equipment, laundry costs and other everyday items.
