Although located 40 minutes south of Adelaide city, Flinders University isn’t far away from the action. The suburban hubs Marion Shopping Centre, Glenelg and Brighton provide year round entertainment, shopping and food. There are plenty on nightclubs and pubs throughout the south with the most popular ones located in Jetty Road Glenelg as well as the New York Bar & Grill and Shennanigans Irish Pub in Marion. Adelaide has a cheap and reliable public transport system including a late night bus on Saturdays so its really cheap and easy to get around the city and suburbs.

On-campus accommodation is now available for 560 students, with the opening of a new Student Village. Living on campus gives you easy access to all University health, counselling, sporting, library, academic and social facilities.

Flinders offers 2 on-campus living options:
- University Hall: a catered hall of residence.
- Deirdre Jordan Village: self-catered collegiate accommodation.
