NON BILLABLE EXPENSES
Students pay “non-billable” expenses independently.  These expenses are not billed by Bentley.  The non-billable expenses included here are ESTIMATES.  Many of these expenses will vary based on personal preferences and local factors. Consult materials provided by the host university or program, and speak with peer advisors for more details.

HOUSING
Bentley does not bill housing fees for this program.  Students select housing independently and are responsible for making housing payments directly to the housing provider. Students do not need to live in RMIT Village housing and are encourage to research all options.
Students who use financial aid to cover the cost of housing will need to be prepared to pay for housing SIGNIFICANTLY EARLY in order to reserve their spot for student housing in Melbourne. You may have to pay for housing before your aid is dispersed.  Please speak with your study abroad and financial aid advisor to create a financial plan.
