About Bond University

Life at Bond University

Accommodation

Homestay

Homestay is a popular choice for English language students and those looking for a more family-oriented lifestyle. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience Australian lifestyle and make new friends.

We recommend that all international students experience at least four weeks of Homestay living as it helps them to practice their English and settle in to their new life on the Gold Coast.

Host families provide a single room with study facilities, two meals per day and three per day on weekends.
