Hi everyone - would appreciate some advice.



Moving to Melbourne to work at monash but I'd like to live close to the city centre - what is the best suburb with easy transport access to clayton?



Thanks in advance!!

The nearest train station is Clayton Station which is on the Cranbourne/Pakenham line. You would then need to catch a bus from there to the university. So you could live anywhere along that train line towards the city.



But if you have a car then life is much easier! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':laugh:' />

Thanks Glen,



been doing a bit of google mapping and seems like richmond may be my best option?? Would love St Kilda but seems like the commute might be a bit epic with having to change busses trains etc.



I'm not going to have a car but from what I gather the train station is fairly near the hospital? (will be working in the hospital, not the uni)



appreciate any further input,

Ah ok well you could walk to the hospital from Clayton station.
