Live, study and play at Deakin Res
Choosing to live out of home while you study is a big step. It's your chance to get out of your comfort zone, try something new and learn more about yourself in the process. Our contemporary accommodation options are designed with you in mind, to provide a safe and welcoming home for you to make memories to last a lifetime.
Off-campus accommodation
Finding your own accommodation off campus is a great way to immerse yourself in the local community. Deakin’s Houseme website provides a database of local rooms, houses and apartments available to rent, near to each campus. We also have an off-campus housing service that can help you with using Houseme, filling out rental application forms, understanding your rights and responsibilities as a tenant and more. If you're an international student wanting to live off campus, you should only start looking for accommodation once you’ve arrived in Victoria.
Stay at Deakin
Our on-campus accommodation isn't just for students. We welcome academics, school groups, families and individuals to stay with us all year round at any of our campuses. Whether you're staying for a night, a week or a month, we've got a room to suit your needs, including a range of amenities specifically for guests staying on campus. If you're an international student, we recommend that you stay in short-term accommodation for at least the first week of your arrival while you look for long-term accommodation.
Homestay
A homestay – staying with a local family in their home – is a great way to immerse yourself in Australian culture and the community while improving your English skills. You and your host will decide how long you stay. Homestay fees are $345–$360AUD per week and paid directly to your host prior to arrival. Interested in a homestay or have a question? Contact the Deakin University English Language Institute team via email or phone +61 3 9244 5110.
