Accommodation
Options
Homestay
Homestay accommodation involves staying with an Australian family in
their own home. Our Homestay staff match students to families with
similar interests, providing students with a safe, supportive family
environment. Students have their own furnished room in a private family
home, with two meals per day provided. Assistance will be given with
basic needs such as laundering of clothing and cleaning.
Homestay families will also give assistance with transport options
(where to catch the bus or train) for the student to travel to the
campus. Students staying in Homestay find it provides good opportunities
to experience Australian culture and life, especially when they first
arrive in Sydney to commence their studies.
Montpelier House

studying at our Darlinghurst campus. It is a 54-bed facility consisting
of 28 single rooms, nine twin rooms (bunk beds) and two dormitories with

Rental Accommodation
There are many different types of rental accommodation available in
Sydney and Brisbane. Students can choose from houses, flats or
apartments, and these can be furnished or unfurnished. Living in rental
accommodation gives students greater personal freedom, but also means
greater personal responsibility. To rent a house or apartment, a bond is
required (usually one month's rent), and you will be required to pay for
the connection and usage of utilities such as gas, electricity and
telephone or cable. If the house or apartment is unfurnished, you will
need to provide your own furniture, electrical appliances, towels,
sheets, etc. Living with other students in a house or apartment will
help you to share the expenses of this type of accommodation.
For more information on the accommodation options available in Sydney or
Brisbane, please contact the International Admissions Centre.
Social Activities
While studies always come first, there are many opportunities for
students to take part in a wide range of social activities outside study
hours. Students can relax in the company of fellow students, form
lasting friendships and learn to understand and appreciate many aspects
of the Australian lifestyle. Our students take part in a host of social
activities outside classroom hours which include various trips to places
of cultural interest or to places that are just a lot of fun. Whether
it's an evening trip to the cinema, theatre or tourist attraction, a day
enjoying a barbecue on the beach, or simply a traditional Australian pub
– you’ll find plenty to see and do.
