On campus living options
Living on campus while you are a student has many benefits. Not only is every campus facility within your easy reach, it is value for money, safe, and provides a sense of community in a fun and friendly environment.
We offer a variety of rooms and apartments to choose from including fully or partly catered colleges to the more autonomous self-catered apartments, that are located on (or very close to) the UNSW campus. These housing options include University owned and managed colleges and apartments or through affiliated private colleges that UNSW works with.
Depending on your living style and needs you can pick an option that suits you best. Since demand for on campus accommodation is really high and the seats limited, you should pre-arrange it at the earliest.
Are you interested in accommodation outside of UNSW? Here you can find information about what to consider when choosing a property, short and long-term housing options, and tenancy information.
This video (and this video with Mandarin subtitles) offer a quick and easy overview about living off campus as a UNSW student.
Planning the right accommodation
Check out the following sections to guide you in finding accommodation that is right for you.
Arrange short term accommodation first: To ensure you are securing a property that is legitimate and secure, only commit to a lease/tenancy agreement if you have viewed the property in person. For more information and helpful tips, check out the section explaining why it's important to arrange short term accommodation first.
