Accommodation
The host families, which are carefully selected by our partner school, live around 30 minutes away from the school. Staying in a single room with half board during the week and full board at weekends provided, you will share in the daily life and expereinces of your host family whilst practising your English in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Residence "University Mansions"
On the same site as the school, a magnificent building was built in 2000 in order to welcome students from across the world under optimal conditions. The residence offers double or single rooms, each equipped with a kitchenette, a bathroom with shower and a television. The residents also have the use of a large gym. The city centre is easily accessed in a few minutes by public transport (bus stop in front of the campus entrance and ferry 2 minutes' walk away). The residence has 170 bedrooms for Australian and international students, which favours a multicultural atmosphere. Several apartments overlook the Brisbane River and offer an uninterrupted view of the city.
