I’m a huge fan of staying in hostels whenever I travel. One, it’s about all I could afford as a student, but secondly, it’s a great way to meet people from around the world and you can usually find another travel buddy if you’re going solo. (Ask me about the time I hung out with beatboxing champs in Basel, Switzerland.)
If people want to spend a couple days earlier in Hobart (as Bob recommends), you might want to check out these hostels and knock elbows with other Tassie adventurers!

This hostel was built around a historic 1834 stable and drinking establishment. It is a 5 minute walk to the Salamanca Markets and Hobart's historic Waterfront, Aquatic Centre & Botanic Gardens.

Hostels are the best, especially as a student traveller, and you can sometimes find the coolest places to stay (In Amsterdam I spent a few days on a houseboat...)

I agree with Aaron. Often times you get to meet other young adventurers in hostels, which is my favorite part. The last time I was in a hostel, I actually made 4 Australian friends!
