Hi, I recommend you consider living in the CBD. You may well be able to walk to work, it is fairly safe in Melbourne except late on Friday nights etc!

There are lots of nice apartment blocks in the city.

The other place to maybe consider is Docklands which would be a longer walk or short tram ride.

Thank you for your advice

Personally I would plump for the older, more characterful suburbs like Carlton, North Merlbourne or Parkville - still walking distance (or very short tram ride) to RMIT's city campus. Docklands and much of the CBD feel a bit like Canary Wharf in London at the weekends, but even quieter. Like everything it depends on what you are looking for.

Agree with both of the above posters. RMIT campus is just off Swanston Street and this is the main north-south thoroughfare in the CBD, with several tram lines and Melbourne Central metro station 2 minutes walk away. La Trobe Street intersects Swanston Street at RMIT so you also have the tram lines running east -west / v.v. as well. From my 5 years of living in Melbourne, I'd say it is about as good as it gets from a commuting perspective!

Good luck
