4. Finding a host family:

After enrolment our overseas student counselor Mrs. Ulrike Miehle will get in touch with you to find the most suitable host family for the student. 

Extract of our Home Stay Guidelines for students:

* All host families are selected to provide good quality, safe accommodation for our students and offer an environment where students can live, relax and study in comfort and security. The family plays a vital role in the successful stay of the student and should provide a caring, comfortable and healthy environment, which supports the student’s academic progress and social welfare. Home stay may be German/Australian families, couples or single people and are matched with suitable students according to their needs. The families should make the student feel welcome and part of their greater household and support them with their day-to-day problems.

* Students should be aware that every home is different and that the host family might not provide all the comforts of the home to which they are accustomed. A home stay family will provide the students with following basic amenities: a private room, which meets safety, cleanliness, and privacy considerations, a bed, desk with study lamp, bedroom and bathroom linens, closet, dresser and mirror optional, and a key to the house. Private bathroom is preferred but not guaranteed.
