Support for exchange students:
For exchange students, finding a place to rent is one of the most crucial tasks you’ll face when you arrive for your studies, and it doesn’t always have to be a struggle finding somewhere suitable to live. To help make things easier for you, we’ve produced several tips about house hunting for your reference:

1. Searching for a property once you have arrived in-country isn’t always the best option.
Firstly, please rest assured that it’s entirely possible to safely rent somewhere other than your home country. We have dealt with countless students who believe that it’s more practical to wait until their arrival before searching for somewhere to rent, and most also want to view the property before making a final decision. While this approach does make logical sense, it doesn’t always work. This can be for a number of reasons, perhaps the most important being that the vast majority of the highest quality properties will have already been rented out by the time you arrive in-country, meaning you’ll need to spend more money on a hotel or B&B while searching for somewhere to live.

2. Learn about your potential house mates before you arrive.
It’s always a good idea to get an idea of who you will be living with, and how many other people you’ll be living with before you arrive in-country. Your house mates will be like your second family, so it’s a good idea to know what they are like as people! You’re likely to share numerous anecdotes, parties, meals, and memorable moments with them and this will all add to your experience of living abroad.
