On Campus Accommodation
Student Living, located at the Callaghan Campus, is the University of Newcastle’s award winning on-campus accommodation. At Student Living you will be able to experience a vibrant, multicultural student community and create life-long experiences and friendships in a convenient and safe environment.
Students can choose from a range of residences, including private or shared rooms/facilities (bathroom, dining and cooking), and catered, semi-catered or self-catered options, with prices starting from AU$191 per week.
Check the Student Living Website for more details, including key dates and the application process. CIE has on-campus accommodation reserved for our students on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Off-Campus Accommodation
Looking for a place to live in a new country can be confusing and intimidating, which is why the College of International Education can help you organise off campus accommodation to suit your specific needs.
Rooms close to the main campus at Callaghan are available from AU$100 per week and rooms in the Central Business District, where the new College is located, are approximately AU$180 per week.
Homestay
If you like the idea of living with a local family, improving your English skills, and immersing yourself into the Australian lifestyle, then Homestay accommodation might be the best option for you!
Homestay is arranged through the Australian Homestay Network. At a homestay, you will live in a friendly local environment while studying at the College and improving your language skills. Host families are carefully screened, and they are looking forward to welcoming you into their home!
The minimum homestay period for students 18 years or over is four weeks, and longer periods may be negotiated with the host family following the completion of the initial four weeks.
