As part of a suite of initiatives to increase affordable housing for students, the University has partnered with USYD alumni to launch our Alumni Homestay Program. This program aims to connect USYD students with our alumni who have a suitable accommodation offering.
Offering students the opportunity to connect with a graduate of the University of Sydney provides many immediate benefits including creating a sense of belonging and sharing similar experiences. This will help the student feel more comfortable in their new setting and help them adjust to life at the University of Sydney.
The alumni hosts can share their own reflections on their student days and provide a friendly network in addition to providing accommodation and support.
