For students, you might want to take out cheaper accommodation at some of the University colleges. As ASP-DAC 2012 is held during the main vactaion of Australian universities, these colleges offer very cheap rates (from $40 per night) for their spare rooms, but you will need to apply with them. If choosing these options, keep in mind that you need to purchase your bus tickets (10-trip and weekly pricing are available) from a newsagent or convenience store before you board from these locations.
