Orientation and the Education Abroad Office
The RMIT Education Abroad Office (EAO) is designed to assist you with transition into life at RMIT. The friendly EAO staff host the compulsory orientation program designed to assist you to settle in as quickly as possible and make the most of your Study Abroad program. You will also finalise your enrolment during this time.
Accommodation
As a Study Abroad student you will have access to the same types of accommodation options that all international students studying at RMIT have.
Many Study Abroad students choose to live in share and rental accommodation while others prefer the convenience of living in a student hostel. If you choose to stay in student hostel accommodation you are encouraged to book in advance when you submit your application for your Study Abroad program*. During the Orientation program, the Education Abroad Office (EAO) will put you in touch with the Housing Advisory Service who will be able to assist you. There is also a full range of housing options you can consider on the Accommodation webpage.
