Homestay:
Homestay accommodation Living in a homestay can be a
valuable part of your experience in Geelong. It provides you with the
opportunity to experience Australian life and to improve your English.
Most students studying at DUELI stay in
homestay accommodation, which is accessible by public transport. Homestay
accommodation provides students with a unique opportunity to experience
firsthand the Australian way of life while making new friends and learning
English in a safe and caring environment.
The price for homestay accommodation changes from year to
year and varies according to the arrangements you make with your homestay
hosts. In general, homestay accommodation costs A$265 per week, paid directly
to the homestay host. There is also a homestay placement fee of A$230, which
must be paid to Deakin International together with your tuition fees before
your arrival.
