Student satisfaction with Australian accommodation
30 Jun 2013
Inside the report
Australian Education International (AEI) has published a research report on international higher education student satisfaction with accommodation in Australia. Satisfaction is examined by nationality, level of study and type of accommodation.
Key findings include:
- Australia is generally performing at or above international benchmarks in terms of providing accommodation to international students, with a large majority of student respondents being satisfied with their student accommodation, in terms of safety, access, quality, and access to internet services.
- Overall, 84 per cent of respondents were satisfied with the quality of their accommodation, in line with the international benchmark for this measure (85 per cent)
- Just over half (51 per cent) of respondents were satisfied with the cost of accommodation, a result slightly lower than the international benchmark measure of 59 per cent, reflecting the high ongoing value of the Australian dollar and the comparatively high cost of accommodation in Australia.
