Assisting International Students with Housing: Mini Guide for International Relations Officers
20 December 2024
The goal of this mini-guide, targeted primarily at University International Relations Officers, is to provide guidance and resources to effectively support international students in securing housing and navigating housing-related challenges. It also aims to present examples of good practices to university leadership, showcasing effective solutions and strategies.
Against this backdrop, a survey was conducted to map the difficulties faced by university international offices in the endeavor of supporting international students in finding adequate
accommodation. The survey was pivotal in identifying common obstacles, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and financial constraints. Additionally, the survey explored the creative and innovative solutions that international offices have implemented to address these challenges.
