Accommodation in Australia
One of your first questions that you will probably have before you arrive to Australia will be: ”where am I going to stay?”
With AEC you can choose from a wide range of popular accommodation options.
Your choice will mainly depend on your level of independence, personality, financial situation as well as on location of your studies. Our agency partners overseas can provide you with all necessary information and will answer all questions you might have regarding accommodation in Australia before your departure. You can also seek a help with our AEC counsellors based directly in Sydney.
The options for international students are:
• Our own exclusive AEC - Austay Share Accommodation
• Homestay Accommodation
• Rental Accommodation
• Backpackers Accommodation
• Hotels Accommodation
The most popular accommodation option among young students is our share accommodation followed by homestay. Some of our customers, especially travellers, choose backpacker accommodation. However, from our experience we encourage our students to go for four weeks of share accommodation which gives them enough time to settle down in a new environment and after that they can decide if they want to extend their stay or find another place to live.
