International Students
If you’re an international student planning to study in Australia, we’re here to help you find the coolest place to live while you do.
If you are due to start your contract within 14 days and you are still waiting for your visa application to be processed or university offer to be confirmed, we have the following options available:
- You can commence paying your lease while you await your visa / university offer and we will hold your room for you.
- You can request a one-time only deferral of your contract start date up until Semester 1, 2025 and your rate will remain the same. If you choose a deferral, and then choose to cancel, our ‘No Visa, No Offer, No Pay’ option will not be available and you will be required to pay the 4-week termination payment for a cancelled contract.
- You can choose to cancel and pay a 4-week termination payment.
Please contact your Iglu property to discuss the best option for you.

Iglu is a great living option for students as it provides multiple study spaces and communal spaces. The gym is also available for residents to exercise and most importantly, it’s free of charge.

Living in one of the most student-friendly cities in the world, Melbourne still reminds me of my hometown in India. It’s miles outside my comfort zone but Iglu helps it retain that warm touch of home.
Abir, India
The apartments are really comfortable, the facilities like the common areas, the gym, the study rooms are really nice and convenient but most importantly, the staff at Iglu are really amazing!

My favourite thing about Iglu is that it feels like home and it is very safe here. My words of wisdom to future Iglu residents is to love life, and make sure you enjoy whatever you choose to do.
