Overview
The Byron Bay campus is on Ruskin Street in coastal New South Wales. Lexis describes it as one of its smaller centres. It suits students who prefer a beach town and want to use English in local shops and cafés outside class.
Life in Byron is on campus. Students can choose private or shared rooms and use a communal kitchen and lounge. Homestay offers meals with a local family and a different daily routine.
IELTS preparation is available, while Cambridge options vary by exam and intake. English and surfing is a separate programme. Check the programme and price if you want surfing included, and plan the route from your chosen airport.
This campus may suit learners who prefer to spend most of the weekday close to class and keep independent time for the beach. The residence is part of the campus setting, which makes its commute different from a host-family booking. The school’s separate English and surfing option should be compared with ordinary General English using the activity schedule and total price.
