What Past and present students have to say about Monash International Student House
Tony and Debby are the best landlords I have ever had. I really recommend staying here. I walk to Monash and it is modern and clean.
                                               
Mr Gatut Soepriyanto - Indonesia
I arrived from Oman and moved in here straight away over a year ago. I initially studied at Taylors college in the city - downtown area when I arrived, and now I am at
Monash Clayton Campus. The place is modern and clean with privacy in my room.  I am very happy here and the landlord respects my friends and I. Everything is
provided, It is perfect for me while I am in Australia and I have been here over 2 1/2 years so far. It's really home sweet home
                                  

Mr Ahmed Al Sooti - Oman
ISH is walking distance to Monash and everything is included in the price. It is private which I like. I hope to come back to Australia to do a Masters Degree. If I do I
will definitely stay at ISH again.
                                            
Mr Syalendra Abraham - Indonesia
I had never been to Melbourne before. Before I came here, I was looking for a clean and private room for studying from Hong Kong. One of my relatives who knew
about ISH suggested me to stay in there. That was why I chose to live in ISH.

I have been here for 2 years. My brother is here with me and we share a larger room now. Also, I have recommended ISH to my friends who are looking for the
rooms. They are very happy to move in because it is a great fully furnished house with excellent quality. The landlords are very nice and friendly, too. Definitely, it is
hard to find a similar house in Clayton area with these qualities except ISH. For these reasons, I would highly recommend it to anyone from HK to live in ISH.
             
Mr Kevin Sze - Hong Kong
My room was big and clean. It had a great study desk, nice bed and it's own bathroom. I could walk to school and shops. It is modern and a great place to stay. I
would recommend it to my friends.
                                                                 
Mr Uday Bir Sing - India
I was at International Student House for 3 years and loved my stay there. It was very close to Monash Uni and I could walk to Clayton shopping center where I could
get lots of fresh Asian food. Having a private bathroom was the best, every girl needs their own bathroom.
                                                                  
Ms Beini Qin - China
I'm from San Francisco and doing research at Monash as part of my Undergraduate Honors  at UC Berkeley. I found ISH on the internet  and booked it from the US.
Given that I had to arrive In Australia and start the research ASAP, I could not afford to come here without a place to stay.

Until I got here, I was worried that it may not be like the web site, however I made the right choice and am very happy with the facilities and proximity to Monash. I
literally got off the plane, caught a bus from the airport to within 300 m, moved straight in and had the internet going in about 10 minutes. It met all my expectations
and all went smoothly.

You guys have been great landlords, and the accommodation at ISH has been a wonderful experience for me.

Ms Stephanie Hsaio - USA
I stayed at ISH while I was completing my BSc(Hons) Biochemistry. I loved staying here and I really felt at home. The room was great, especially having  my own
bathroom.
                                   
Ms Yogavalli (Yoga) Poobalan - Singapore
There is no doubt that this is a great place to stay. For me a major point was the cooling in summer, which most accommodation in Melbourne doesn't have.
The rent is very reasonable. I used the phone service they provide, I saved a fortune compared to my mobile. There are good Indonesian and Malaysian restaurants
close by.
                                                            
Mr  Easwar Sivabalan - Malaysia
I stayed at ISH for 12 months until I graduated and returned home. It was quiet and clean. I really liked the fact that I didn't have to share my bathroom.
                                           
Mr Mikhail Santosa - Malaysia
I found ISH on the internet and stayed for 1 1/2 years while I studied for a Masters of Education. The photos and details on the web site are a good representation of
what it is really like. While I was here I looked around, and compared it the Halls of Residence which is the only other main accommodation I could find that offers
private bathrooms. ISH was much cleaner, modern and quiet. My friends often commented that they wished they were staying here.
                   
                                                                                
Ms Geok Ying June Yek - Singapore
I like a place which is really clean and this is perfect. I also like my privacy. I intend to do my Masters at Monash next year and I will stay here. The landlords are very
fair and responded to my requests.
                                                              
Mr Peter Kiptoo - Kenya
I am from Oman and studying Telecommunications Engineering. When I first got here, I rented a shared a normal unfurnished flat, but they are mostly old and dirty
near Monash, and I hated sharing the bathroom. Last year I moved to ISH and love it, anyway it is about the same price when you add it all up. I have a car which is
securely parked, but I walk to Monash Uni. Staying here is much easier with just one bill and it is clean. The internet, electricity etc is all on straight away, and I don't
have to think about that stuff which was a problem before I came here..

The landlord is kind and understanding , and he is always there if you needed anything.                                                       

Mr Said Al Habasi - Oman
We are from Singapore Polytechnic, and attending Monash to complete our Biomedical Science degree.

Due to the fact that we were to arrive in Australia in mid Feb, we wanted to make sure we had accommodation for our arrival, so we were ready to start school.

We found the Monash ISH website and it looked ok on the web. While we could not check out the place before arrival, we did arrange for Monash University's
International division to come and inspect it on our behalf. They confirmed that the place was of a very high standard. Based on this we booked in December.

Now we are here, we are very happy, the rooms and facilities are just as represented on the web. We walk to Uni. This place is much better than anything else we
have seen when visiting our friends who live in share houses, some of which are really old and awful.

Ms Erah Anwar, Jaslyn Lee, & Padmini Sugumaran - Singapore
It is pretty hard to find clean and private accommodation around Monash. I was staying at another place sharing with others but it was pretty old and not very clean.  
When I found ISH I was very happy because it is clean and very private, perfect for studying. It was like living in a Motel, especially having my own bathroom. It is
close to the Uni so I could walk, and it is pretty convenient for transport and shops.  I am returning to Japan and would recommend it to my friends.  
                  
                                                                              
Ms Masae Goto - Japan
It is very close to Monash and I felt safe living there. Nothing is too much trouble for the landlords and they are very nice. They understand what chinese students
need. The internet is really fast and I could use it as soon as I moved in.
