There are many great positives to Campus East’s location, here are some of them: 

  • Campus East is located less than 4kms away from UOW’s Wollongong campus. 
  • The UOW free shuttle stops right outside Campus East, for those that do not have a car, or don’t want to drive to campus. 
  • Wollongong city is about 15-minute walk from your front door.
  • In addition to the large outdoor green spaces, you can grab your swimmers and towel and be at the beach in 5 minutes.
  • If you want to head to Sydney, or the South Coast, Campus East is an easy 10-minute walk to Fairy Meadow train station.

When you live on campus as a UOW student we want you to feel safe, secure and supported. Wellbeing support is available 24/7 from UOW support services. Access to the main buildings, communal spaces and student rooms is only available when using an individually coded fob-key. Every unit and apartment can only be accessed by the resident or residents living there, using their individual fob-key, and every bedroom in shared units has a coded door lock, that can only be opened by the key-holder.
