The campus is located in an attractive, residential neighborhood close to restaurants and shops. It takes just 5 minutes to travel by train from the campus to downtown Sydney. Students take humanities, social science, and communication courses at the ACU Mount St. Mary Campus in Strathfield, which is easily reached by public transportation. Housing Students live in homestays for the first month of the program, and then may choose to remain or move to student apartments. Meals are included for the period that students remain in homestays.
Every effort is made to match students with their preferred housing choice.
A detailed housing form is sent to students after they are accepted into the program, and this information is used to place each student. The program is administered by Marist College in cooperation with Australian Catholic University. ACU organizes an on-site orientation program, advises students, and arranges internships. Internship directors and faculty at Marist monitor and evaluate the internships. A predeparture orientation is offered by Marist College, and the Office of Marist Abroad Programs provides ongoing support and advisement.
