Homestay

Get cash for your spare room! 

Homestay is a housing option where international students are connected with local households. It's a affordable alternative to student accommodation or private lodging and allows students to experience the local community. This year we are encouraging the UNSW community to consider short and longer-term homestays as it unlocks shared value for everyone experiencing the pressure of increased cost of living.
