HOUSING

Single rooms in residential colleges OR independent housing

Housing is not arranged by Overseas Study just as Australian students do. Students must apply independently for housing in Perth. Students interested in living on-campus in a residential college should apply for this option, even before they are accepted to the program. Please visit the University of Western Australia’s Accommodation Service for details about living on-campus.

Overseas Study encourages students to apply for more than one residential college simultaneously as there is limited space available. Some residential colleges will require an application fee and an extensive application. If there is no availability in the residential colleges, students will need to consider other housing options such as living off-campus in independent apartments. All students are eligible to apply for temporary accommodation during the first few weeks in Perth while they search for other housing options. If you have questions, please contact Overseas Study.
