QUT has loads of information about moving into a place to call home, tips and ideas on how to live in a share house and a service which can help you find a place of your own. So, if you are thinking about moving into a share house, or living in one already and need some ideas on how to make the house work really well go to: www.qut.edu.au/sharehousing.
