accomodation with Nova

[aussie]

I am applying with Nova whilst in Australia for a part-time job. Nova offers to find accomodation for you. The accomodation they provide you is shared accomodation with co-workers. Is it difficult to leave Nova's accomodation if you find somewhere else that you move into?
What happens in this sought of situation?

Not difficult at all.

Well the difficulty is finding other accomadation.

Which I suggest you do.

NOVA accomadation is small, cramped and WAY over priced.

Eg at the place I lived in there were 3 people. We each paid 71,500yen a month.
Total of around 225,000yen a month right?

We found out other people in out apartment building paid about 160,000yen a month.

So theres a lot of money missing there.

Also you cant choose your-roomates
At various times I had a seriously full of himself try hard 'DJ' guy who had never owned a set of decks but bought vinyls and went on and on and on.
A gay guy with a chip on his shoulder about everything and a deep seated refusal too clean up after himself and a big american guy who liked to crack gay jokes and pick on the gay guy.
And a older man in his late 40's that moaned and whined whenever me or the other guy came home late or drunk and tried to lecture us about NOVA rules and policies. Complete company shill.

GET OUT OF NOVA APARTMENTS!

Wow. That is terribly expensive considering I'm only getting part-time work with Nova. If I get the job I have a girlfirend living in Osaka so if I don't get my location preference I can always try and get a transfer after a few months and move in with her. It is all part of the experience I guess.

If you dont get the location you want put a transfer request in straight away and lie through your teeth about why you need to transfer.
Family commitements or some bollocks.
