Features
(a)Live on campus:
Many students say one of the best parts of the university experience is living in a residence. Rarely will you have the chance to live in a community that has people from so many walks of life and countries. At Accommodation Services you will benefit from an environment committed to providing high academic achievement, involvement, development and fun. All residences feature student development and peer mentor programs, social, sporting and cultural events, and 24/7 student well being care. Utilities, furniture, laundry, limited car parking, and environmentally responsible recycling programs are available at each residence.
(b)Live off campus:
(1)Rental -
Rental or private accommodation is a great choice if you are looking for an independent lifestyle. There are some great places to live in Wollongong that are close to the university, shops, beaches and other attractions.
(2)Shared accommodation -
Shared accommodation is a great idea if you want to live independently and want to meet new people. Share accommodation occurs when you either move into a house that is occupied by other people or you agree to rent a property with other people. Sharing a house with other people is a cost effective way to live because you share the costs of living with other people. While shared accommodation is a great alternative to living by yourself, it can be complicated. You need to know exactly what you are looking for with your accommodation arrangements. There are some very important things you will need to consider when you are thinking about share accommodation.
(3)Short stays -
Temporary accommodation when you arrive so that you will be able to search for a suitable property. Temporary accommodation is typically accommodation sought for up to two weeks in duration.
The University offers a complimentary Airport Pick Up Service for all newly enrolling International UOW students. The University also provides this service for newly enrolling UOW College students who have a progressive offer for a University of Wollongong degree course and who are arriving in Australia for the first time. You will be collected from Sydney Airport International or Domestic terminal and transported directly to your Wollongong accommodation destination.
