I have noticed in American TV shows and movies that living in "dorms" on campus seems to be the custom there, but that is not the case everywhere. It is the exception rather than the rule for students at Sydney universities. There is some accommodation available at the universities though I didn't ever know anyone who lived there. A lot of students who come from the country or have to travel long distances rent rooms at share houses nearby but this is privately arranged. Students who can live at home with their family do so. I assume the situation is the same throughout Australia.
