When moving abroad accommodation options are a major concern. Finding a stable roof is what makes the difference between feeling safe and comfortable within a new environment or feeling distressed.<\/p>

LinAs has active partnerships with different education providers and accommodation agencies to ensure students can book a safe and welcoming space to arrive at when coming to Australia.<\/p>

We strongly recommend students have at least accommodation for the first month secured as it could be quite time-consuming and demanding to find a house and employment at the same time. However, we know – a few of our members are quite adventurous travellers, willing to reach first before exploring accommodation options.<\/p>

In Australia, there are 6 main ways to live while on a student visa,\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

They are all-inclusive rooms and studio apartments available for short and long-term stays. Usually strategically located, nearby universities and highly-student rated areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Apart from the living arrangement, this accommodation type offers a vast range of social spaces, building amenities and outstanding events for everyone to develop their connections abroad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Student accommodation offers an excellent opportunity for those looking for their own space within a student-centred environment. Prices varied between building locations and amenities, room sizes, and the company that runs the building. Consider prices from $400 per week!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Under this accommodation type, you will stay at a local residence, usually close to your campus, where you will be living with a family. Families are required to register directly with the colleges and if approved, they can host international students for short and long-term options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you are interested in having a cultural immersion, homestay is a great opportunity to practice and engage with the local community. Here, you will be sharing family time as well as developing your connections within local networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Directly with the school, we can help you apply for homestay options. Usually, students take the first month and extended it monthly if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Room prices and requirements may vary between cities and families as well as the additional services that it includes, such as the inclusion or exclusion of a certain number of meals per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
