Student Accommodation

Organising your accommodation is an important step as you prepare for the study year.   Successful international students should arrange suitable accommodation before arriving in Singapore.

James Cook University Australia, Singapore Campus currently does not offer on-campus accommodation.  However, we will help International students adjust to their new life in a short period of time.  There is a wide variety of accommodation types in Singapore to suit different budgets and needs. We can help to review your accommodations options, source and make available accommodation, whether you choose to stay in our off-campus hostel, a serviced apartment, private rental or shared accommodation.


 

Hostel Accommodation

JCU International students will enjoy a preferential rate at our privately operated hostels with a minimum contract period of 4 months (one semester). An advantage of this type of accommodation is the social aspect. You will be with other students of the same age and shared interests, and you can lead an independent lifestyle.
