International students

Our community is made up of residents from across Australia and around the world. We are home to residents of 76 different nationalities and living on campus means you will be exposed to residents with a huge variety of cultural and social experiences. A significant number of our residents come from around the world on an exchange or study abroad program for six months to a year. Resources for international students
