• Single rooms in residential colleges
• Independent housing

Housing is not arranged by Overseas Study. Students must apply independently for housing in Perth, just as Australian students do. Students interested in living on-campus in a residential college should apply for this option, even before they are accepted to the program. Please visit the University of Western Australia's Accommodation Service for details about living on-campus.

Overseas Study encourages students to apply for more than one residential college simultaneously as there is limited space available. Some residential colleges will require an application fee and an extensive application. If there is no availability in the residential colleges, students will need to consider other housing options such as living off-campus in independent apartments. All students are eligible to apply for temporary accommodation during the first few weeks in Perth while they search for other housing options. If you have questions, please contact Overseas Study.

You may apply if you:

• are an undergraduate student at any Indiana University campus who is making normal academic progress
• are in at least your fourth full-time semester of college
• have approximately a 3.0 cumulative GPA

Biology majors need to have completed L111, L112 and L113 (or an upper-level lab) prior to participation in the program.

Complete eligibility criteria and selection criteria are outlined within the Academic Policies and Procedures of the Office of Overseas Study. Selection is based on maturity, seriousness of purpose, and appropriateness of match between program and applicant. Students on disciplinary probation during program period are ineligible.
