Is accommodation available for International/Overseas students?
A. In general International students compete with local students for the accommodation vacancies that the Housing Service receives and advertises. Some private providers prefer to have Internationals only and some do not specify a preference. International students are often seen as able to pay higher rental than local students so it is always wise to make some price comparisons before applying for or accepting a place. A recent trend, particularly in the inner city and Central Business District areas is to provide large complexes of self-contained fully furnished student apartments. We have listed some of these facilities in the Student Hostels section. These are marketed to International students and are quite expensive. Listings of these providers are available on the home page under student hostels.
