Key Accommodation Considerations
Deciding where to live abroad requires careful thought. Use these factors to guide your choice and find your perfect home away from home.
Location & Convenience
Proximity to your institution is crucial. Being close to campus saves you time and cuts down on transport costs. Check the neighbourhood's safety and its accessibility to essentials like grocery stores, pharmacies, and reliable public transport, especially useful if you're arriving in a new city from Indonesia for the first time.
Type of Accommodation
Options typically include university dormitories, private apartments, shared houses, homestays, or student hostels. Consider whether you prefer the social atmosphere of a dormitory or shared house, or the greater privacy of a single apartment. A homestay can also be a gentler way to settle in if it's your first time living abroad.
Budget Management
Rent varies significantly by city, room type, and amenities. Always factor in utility bills (electricity, water, internet), transportation, and your food budget alongside rent itself, so your accommodation cost doesn't catch you off guard once you've landed.
Cultural and Social Aspects
Your living environment shapes how much you enjoy and learn from your time abroad. Living in a local neighbourhood or homestay can offer a more immersive cultural experience, while student housing near campus makes it easier to connect with other international students, including fellow Indonesians.
Lease Terms and Conditions
Review the lease agreement carefully before signing anything. Pay close attention to the lease duration, deposit required, payment terms, and conditions for ending or extending the contract. Tenant rights and responsibilities can differ significantly from those in Indonesia, so it's worth understanding these before you commit.

Student Accommodation FAQs
Answers to the most common questions Indonesian students ask when arranging accommodation abroad.
Options include on-campus university residences, purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) near campus, homestays, and shared rental apartments. On-campus and PBSA options are the easiest to arrange before you arrive, while shared apartments tend to be more affordable once you're settled.
Most Canadian institutions offer on-campus residence for first-year students, along with off-campus options like shared houses, homestays, and private apartments. On-campus residence is often the simplest choice for your first term while you get familiar with the city.
It's generally safer to secure at least your first few months of accommodation before you arrive, especially on-campus residence or a homestay, since these can fill up quickly around intake periods. Many students then look for longer-term or cheaper off-campus options once they've settled in and can view places in person.
This varies significantly by city and accommodation type. Major cities like Sydney, Toronto, or London cost considerably more than regional areas. Our counsellors can give you a realistic monthly estimate based on your specific destination and accommodation type once you've shortlisted a university.
