ACCOMODATION

Homestay or Rental Housing Unit

Off campus accommodation refers to housing options located outside the institution’s campus and independently managed by private individuals or property providers. This type of accommodation typically includes homestays with local families or rental housing units such as apartments, shared houses, or studios. It offers greater flexibility in location, lifestyle, and budgeting, and allows international students to experience local community living while managing their own daily routines and expenses.
