Accommodation for international students

Whether you choose to live on campus or want to experience the city lifestyle, we recommend booking accommodation before you leave your home country for a hassle-free arrival in Australia.

On-campus accommodation

Living on campus offers a range of benefits, including lifelong friendships, new adventures, and an enhanced academic and social experience.

On-campus accommodation is available at our Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, and Melbourne campuses, with special rates for newly enrolled international students.
