ACCOMODATION SUPPORT
One of the most important decisions you will make regarding your time studying abroad is where to live.
MGS Education Counselors can explain your options and help you find the right accommodation that suits you best
Accommodation Type
The University Residential Accommodation or Private Rental Accommodation has become very popular with international students.
These types of accommodations are often very modern with good facilities and within walking distance to your University or College. So it’s easy to access your university, attend lectures and the university’s facilities.
At MGS Education, we understand the importance of getting accommodations that suit our clients/students’ budgets.
For international students, living in a residence is the best way to mix with other students from different
backgrounds and make new friends!
Most universities offer student accommodation, which will normally consist of a room with a bed, a wardrobe, some storage space and a desk.
Some will offer aprivate bathroom, whereas others are shared with other students with a central kitchen for all students. There are communal areas where you can socialize with other students. Male and female students
usually live in the same Building.
Since many universities and colleges cannot guarantee on-campus accommodation for all their students (although international students usually receive priority), as soon as you have made your final decision on where to study, we’re here to support you get accommodation or you should start looking for accommodations.
Applying for student accommodation can be quite confusing due to the many choices available, but this is something that MGS Education Counselor will be able to assist you with.
Homestay
Most international students who study a short-time course or take a pre-university course will choose to live in a homestay with host families to experience local culture and practice the language.
All host families working with colleges must be reviewed by the school to ensure that they are good families. Students can usually choose a single room or share a room with another student from a different nationality.
University students who must leave their dorms during the long summer vacation can also choose to live in a homestay during the summer. Homestays are also a popular option for students studying at a private school.
Please remember to inform your advisor of any special requirements, such as any food allergies or special diet. Your advisor will do their best to help you choose a host family that meets your needs
Off-Campus/Private Rental
Sometimes students prefer to live in private rental housing off campus. The accommodation office a the university may be able to provide advice and help you find a rentable house.
There are websites that you can browse through to have an idea of local rental costs. However, it’s very difficult to rent a house before your arrival because you need to go there to see the house and the neighbourhood in person.
International students should be cautious when renting private accommodations. You will need to determine what your legal obligations and rents will be, what other furniture will be included in the lease, etc. If possible, it is better to bring a local friend with you or ask the school for help.
