Housing:
Participants in Brockport's Program at the Australian National University (Canberra) will be housed in a "single" (unshared) accommodation with the choice of self-catering or catered facilities (catered housing is at additional cost). The Student Housing Office will assist in housing placements on campus for all Brockport Australian National University (Canberra) Program participants. Participants should apply for on-campus housing on the web (http://accom.anu.edu.au when their application is accepted by Brockport. All Halls and Colleges accommodate both men and women and have single study bedrooms that are heated and carpeted. Most Halls and Colleges provide shared male and femal bathroom facilities (with individual shower cubicles). One residence does provide female-only bathrooms.
If on-campus housing is not available and the Australian National University is unable to provide participants with university-owned housing, participants will be reimbursed for an amount equal to the average cost of non-catered university-owned housing at the Australian National University for the period during which the participants are enrolled in the program. Lists of off-site housing may be obtained at the above website.
