Surry Hills, Ultimo and Pyrmont keep you walking distance from the CBD, while Parramatta and the west usually offer more room for the money.
Trains, the Metro, light rail, buses and ferries all run on an Opal card or contactless card. Living near a train or Metro station makes a big difference to commute times in a city this spread out.
Major campuses include the University of Sydney (Camperdown), UNSW (Kensington), UTS (Ultimo), Macquarie University (Macquarie Park) and Western Sydney University (Parramatta and other sites).
