Gain a Global Advantage

On-campus living at International House (IH) provides residents with more than just university accommodation and meals. It is a relaxed, green and safe environment where students from Australia and abroad study and live together. IH offers everything you need to succeed including catering, free academic support, organised social, cross-cultural and cultural events, and access to UQ’s premier gym and pool facilities. It’s about making the most of your university time rather than worrying about being lonely, having to cook for yourself, travelling to and from campus and missing out on valuable friendships and opportunities. Residents who live at IH make friends and connections for life with fellow students from over 40 countries from around the globe. On average our student age is closer to 20 years. There’s nothing else quite like it in Queensland.

Living in residential accommodation at IH affords you a study and lifestyle experience that you can’t get anywhere else. You will make lasting friendships with Australian and International peers, experience unique cultural and sporting events as part of your fee, ensuring you have positive study/life balance. You will be part of a respectful and inclusive community of fellow students keen to join you on adventures as you safely make your way around Brisbane and southeast Queensland. The company you’ll keep, the study you’ll do and the opportunities you’ll get – as well as the lifelong international friendships you’ll make – will give you a global advantage for life. Staying with us is not just an investment in your study outcomes – it’s an investment in your future beyond university.
