Many students say one of the best parts of the university experience is living in a residence. UOW Accommodation offers a vibrant community, with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our residents enjoy being part of an active community, and many make friends for life.
Accommodation
We are currently experiencing unprecedented demand for UOW student accommodation and are at capacity across all our residences for 2023. Please be aware that submitting an application at this stage will result in being placed on a waitlist and we strongly encourage you to pursue alternate accommodation options. See our Live off campus page and contact our Student Housing Support Officer housing-services@uow.edu.au for assistance.
For students with an active accommodation application, our housing support officer will be in touch to discuss your options and assist with off-campus accommodation options.
If you are studying at UOW under the Study Abroad and Exchange program, and need accommodation, contact the Office of Global Student Mobility for advice at study-overseas@uow.edu.au.
