Live on campus - University of Wollongong

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 UOW Student Residences 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 wellbeing care. Utilities, furniture, laundry and limited car parking are available at each residence.

Applications for UOW accommodation

Applications for Session 2, 2026 open 1 March.

Applications for Session 1 & 2, 2026 are still open however we are experiencing high demand for all room types and Residences. Unfortunately it is unlikely that we will be able to offer you accommodation before July 2026.

Click on 'apply now' above to register your details on the Accommodation Portal and apply to live in accommodation. If you have already applied for accommodation in 2026 and have been waitlisted, you do not need to apply again for Session 2.

Once you are in residence, the Accommodation Portal is also the system we use to manage your account with us.
