International House is a very friendly place to stay, your daughter or son will make friends with students from many cultures.

“I am going to be completely honest with you and tell you my very teenage point of view of International House. This place is absolutely wonderful, I have no regrets about the decision to come here. The cultural diversity is an experience that many travel far and wide to experience but can be found over a game of pool in the recreation room. I’d definitely highly recommend this place to anybody because I am having the time of my life.” A very happy 19 year old resident of International House. LULU NJELEKA, Deakin Exchange Student from Zimbabwe

We very much enjoyed staying at International House whilt visiting our sons David and Joe. It's great place for them to live. We've been very impressed with the facilities and used them all during our stay! Barbara and Joe Fiore Stockton California.

“I was really nicely surprised when I arrived to see all the facilities at International House, like the spa, gym the TV room, computers in our living room…and more!

At International House we are mindful that out student campus is not just a place to eat and sleep. We provide an important focus of community for students offering a balanced lifestyle, which includes a range of social activities.

As Jasper from the Netherlands says “It’s more like a holiday resort than student housing.”
