International Homestay is a cultural exchange. It is a contract between a local individual or family (called a Host) and a visiting international student. The student lives as a guest in the home. As a student you should expect to be provided with your basic needs including your own room, food and space to study. Over the period of your time together the host will assist you to become familiar with the local area. The student feels relaxed and friendly in such household setting.
You should also share information about your home country and culture with your host. This will help you to feel comfortable and will help your host to understand you a little better.
An International Homestay is the best accommodation option for overseas students that just arrived in Australia. It gives the student a unique opportunity to experience the Australian way of life and practice the English language on a daily basis.
