Overview

Kooloobong is Expanding

Located on the University campus amidst a bush land setting on the edge of Mt Keira, Kooloobong currently has 38 apartments, accomodating 190 students. However in 2013, Kooloobong will add an additional 360 self catered beds to its community.

The new building, located adjacent to the existing building will feature studio and four bedroom apartments, with indoor/outdoor barbeque facilities, landscaped outdoor communal areas, recreation areas and meeting facilities. The entire Kooloobong community will have access to these facilities and will be managed as one community. For more information about the expansion go to UOW Living is expanding.

The units in the existing site have five single bedrooms and students share a bathroom, kitchen and lounge/dining areas. One of the most popular features of the units are the out outdoor balconies overlooking the picturesque univesity grounds.

Kooloobong caters to residents who wish to live independently - doing their own cooking and cleaning. Units are fully furnished, managed and maintained by University staff.

Culture and Style of Kooloobong

As Kooloobong physically expands in 2013 it will also become UOW's world first positive residence - a residence planned and run entirely based on the science of positive psychology and positive organisations. The vision of having every student flourishing while living at UOW is firmly supported by the combination of wellbeing and education.

Kooloobong has a diverse population with the majority of residents finishing their undergraduate qualifications and a number of the population continuing their post graduate qualifications. Students at Kooloobong organise many events including international food festivals and sporting events, while also participating in the many combined residence events.

Kooloobong is for individual students only and does not accommodate families and children. Family accommodation is available at Graduate House or contact the Housing Officer for more options.
