 In Australia students usually live in so called „share accommodation“. Another option of accommodation is so called “home stay”. Students should enquire about home stay with families before arrival and should plan to say with the family for just a couple of weeks. The family will share important information about traditions and Australian culture. Students will usually get meals with families as well. This kind of accommodation is much more expensive and is convenient for student just till he settles down within a couple of weeks. The prices of accommodation depend on area, amount of people who share or whether it is a flat or a house. The rent might be extremly high or extremly low so let`s talk about average prices. For share accommodation it is from 50 AUD to 150 AUD per person per week and for “Home stay“ it is from 160 AUD to 250 AUD per person per week. You can arrange your accomodation from your home country via the Internet where you can find a lot of advertising of people who are looking for students to share a flat with. You can also get accommodation through your agency which looks after you but you will be charged extra for that service. WSIA arrange accommodation for students free of charge. |
