Homestay is one of the most common choices among international students who have just arrived in a new country.
Living in a family home allows the student to have a direct acquaintance with Australian and New Zealand culture and customs. In addition, learning English becomes an easier and more interesting task, as each family situation becomes kind of a private class, moreover the support and attention the student receives from his second family.
In the homestay, the student can choose to stay in a single room or share with another student, usually the bathroom is shared with the other residents of the house. The student is still entitled to two meals a day during the week and three meals on weekends.
It is very common students seek apartments and houses in Australia and New Zealand to rent and share with other students. These are called share house or share accommodation.
This type of accommodation is usually more economical and also allows the student greater freedom.
You can find ads for houses, rooms and people looking for someone to share accommodation in the murals of the school, specific accomodation websites, and on line groups.
For those who wish to rent a house in New Zealand or Australia, the real estates can help. The lease agreements have a minimum duration of 6 months and a security deposit, called bond, is required, which will be returned at the end of the agreement according to the state of return of the house.
