There are many options to choose from and our Accommodation officers are here to help you find the right place to stay during your studies at Eynesbury.
International students under 18 years of age, who choose to have Eynesbury monitor their welfare and accommodation, are required to live in Eynesbury approved accommodation. There are two choices, Adelaide Student Lodge (ASL) or homestay accommodation. We will also organise regular catchups with our Accommodation staff to make sure students are thriving and happy in their new surroundings. These meetings are compulsory and provide students with the opportunity to discuss any issues or concerns they may have in homestay, residence or academic and social life.
There are three options for international students, who will be under 18 years of age while studying in Australia on a student visa, in order to satisfy the Governments requirements of appropriate accommodation, support and welfare arrangements:
When applying to study at Eynesbury College, students under the age of 18 will receive a Living Arrangements for Under 18 form to indicate which of the above options they prefer. Accommodation and Welfare and Accommodation Monitoring fees can be found under Fees and Payment.
