Location is an important factor in deciding where to live. UNSW is located in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, southeast of the central business district.
The demand for housing is high in Sydney, especially in the weeks leading up to the start of term. We recommend allowing 2-4 weeks to secure housing before term begins.
