Providing a homely and neighbourly vibe with plenty of green-space for residents, Campus East offers secure single, 2, 3 or 5-bedroom furnished units.
When you move to a new town for uni it’s good to know there will be a ready-made community of friendly students and staff waiting to welcome you. Campus East is focused on people and place. The large garden areas play an important role in making Campus East residents feel ‘at home’ and in building a strong sense of community. Some of our students say it has that small town feeling, and that it’s the perfect place to come home to.
While residents of Campus East can choose to live in a catered or self-catered room, Campus East Café is used by all students and is definitely the hub of the community. Catered rooms include 14 healthy and delicious meals weekly, with dietary requirements catered for including health, religious and lifestyle. Find out more about Campus East Café.

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.

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.
