Living with a host family is a great way of immersing yourself in the Australian way of life during your stay in Sydney. You'll stay in a single room with half-board during the week and full board on the weekends. Host families typically live around 30-55 minutes from the school.

The Student Home in Ultimo is perfect for visitors looking to live with like-minded, international students while being just 10 minutes from the classroom! The residence consists of shared apartments holding 8-10 students each. Residents will share 4/5 bathrooms in the house and have a choice between single, double, and triple rooms ¬– all of which feature a wardrobe, desk and WIFI. Cleaning of the rooms occurs 2 or 3 times a week and students can do their laundry in the coin-operated machines. Linen is provided by the accommodation, but residents need to bring their own towels. Throughout their stay, residents will be able to cook with their housemates in the shared kitchen and take advantage of the warm, international atmosphere by socialising in the common room.

This residence offers single rooms with an en-suite bathroom. Each room is equipped with a king-size single bed, study desk, built-in wardrobe, bedside light, mirror, and pinboards. The apartment is equipped with free wifi, and the laundry facilities are card operated. Meals are not included, but the apartment has a kitchen equipped with a microwave, oven/cooker, plenty of cupboard space, fridge, and kitchen equipment. The building also offers a social lounge with computers, a courtyard with BBQ, tables and benches, a cinema room, a console gaming station, a study room, a gym, a pool table, table tennis, and bike storage. The apartment is located just a 10-minute walk from the school and surrounded by restaurants, cafes, public transport and a cinema.
