영문 초록

Australia is well positioned in the globalization of education with a growing segment of international students making Australian education institutions a preferred choice. The international competition in the Australian education market place is on the rise with increasing research focus on the ancillary factors as to what factors make students satisfied in their selected destination above and beyond the academic status of the chosen institution. The purpose of this paper is to find out whether the provision of in-house catering facility where the food is prepared by existing students makes the study experience more satisfactory for international students. The research was focused on international students undertaking either diploma or degree level courses at the Australian School of Tourism and Hotel Management, Perth, Western Australia. Australian education institutions and governments both at State and Federal level are increasingly becoming more sensitive to these "influences" or ancillary factors that can have on the reputation of a particular institution. This paper shows that the provision of an in-house catering service where the food is prepared by the students provided the surveyed students with a level of comfort while undertaking their studies as well as a factor in the recommendation by students of a particular institution to their home country.
